Flow Limit Violation Examples
Overflow in Controller/Main Line Break
Assume the maximum controller flow rate is 500 GPM. A main
line break occurs while attempting to water station 7. The break
results in a flow of 750 GPM. The following warning message
is displayed, as well as the station number and GPM reading.
