60 ESP-LXME Controller
SEEF and SELF Settings and Actions
To most effectively use FloWatch, you will want to first set your SEEF
and SELF thresholds and actions. SEEF stands for Seek and Eliminate
Excessive Flow and deals with how you want your controller to respond
when excessive flow is occurring, as might be the case with a mainline
break. SELF stands for Seek and Eliminate Low Flow and deals with
what the controller should do when low flow is present, as might be
the case during a pump failure, municipal water supply issue or when
a valve fails to open.

NOTE:
Consider using the default setting of 130% (or higher) for
SEEF High flow Threshold. Using a lower percentage can result in
false alarms due to normal hydraulic variability.
D
Settling Time is selected, allowing you to set the minimum time
(from 3-10 minutes) that a flow rate must remain at (or above) the
threshold before the controller will issue an alarm or take action.
Press the + and – buttons to set the Settling Time; then press Next.
