2.2 FLOW CAPABILITIES
2.2.1 Flow Rate Monitoring
•
Programmable flow to enable or disable the flow sensor features.
•
Programmable flow sensor pipe sizes for standard Rain Master flow sensors (1.0, 1.25, 1.5,
2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 inch). Non-standard pipe sizes are also programmable.
•
Inputs for connectivity to a flow sensor. The controller will read the frequency of the sensor
by sensing each time a contact closure appears at the input. The controller will 8
VDC to the sensor.
•
Programmable main line flow limit from 1-999 GPM defines the maximum allowable flow
during scheduled irrigation.
•
Automatic detection of main line water breaks. Upon detection the controller will shutdown
all active irrigation, energize a Normally Open Master Valve (if selected), condemn any
future start times, trigger audible and visual alarm indicators.
•
Programmable unscheduled flow limit from 0-999 GPM defines the maximum amount of
flow which will be tolerated during unscheduled irrigation periods.
•
Automatic detection of unscheduled water flow. Upon detection the controller will energize
the Normally Open Master Valve (if selected), condemn any future start times, and trigger
audible and visual alarm indicators.
•
Automatic detection of no water flow (“No Flow”) on a per station basis. Upon detection
the controller will turn off the fault station, advance the program to the next station,
condemn the station from any future watering times, and trigger audible and visual alarm
indicators.
•
Programmable station upper flow limits from 0-500 GPM.
•
Automatic detection of upper station flow limit. Upon detection the controller will turn off
the fault station, advance the program to the next station, condemn the station from any
future watering times, and trigger audible and visual alarm indicators.
•
Programmable flow check delays between one and six minutes (one minute increments).
This delay allows stations to stabilize each time a station is turned on/off before limit checks
are applied.
•
Automatic monitoring and display of measured station flow in Gallons-Per-Minute (GPM)
from 0 to 999 GPM.
•
Controller utilizes automatic LEARN mode for setting individual station flow limits for the
entire controller. A global percentage adjustment from 5% to 80% is used to automatically
factor upper flow limits for all stations once the nominal values have been measured.
•
Single station flow limits can be setup based upon the measured nominal flow or a manually
entered value (0-500 GPM).
•
Intelligent upper-limit processing for concurrent station operation.
•
A water usage meter indicates total water used by the controller. The water usage meter can
be reset at any time.
