Install the flow sensor in the field according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and run
the flow sensor wire to the ESP-LXME2 controller.
2
Use a separate PE-39 #19 AWG cable for connecting the flow sensor to the Pro Smart
Module. The maximum wire run length is The maximum wire run length is 2000 feet
(610 meters).
3
The connection from the PE-39 cable to the flow sensor must be made with direct burial
type connectors. Use Rain Bird WC20 or 3M DBR/Y-6 splice kits only.
4
Minimize wire splices.
5
Any cable with broken, torn, or damaged insulation should be replaced.
6
Route the flow sensor wire through the knockout on the bottom of the controller.
7
Connect the flow sensor wire to the Flow + and Flow - inputs. When finished, tug gently
on the wires to make sure the connections are tight.
