Monthly Budget

– When the value in this field is greater than zero, the system monitors the total water used

during a single month.
If the monthly water used exceeds this number, an alert is generated. If you set the Shut Down field to Y (yes),

then the associated MVs shut off and water is stopped until the first of the

next month.

To configure the flow device limits

Turn the dial to the

Flow Menu

position.

Press the

NEXT

button to select

Flow Device Limits

, and then press the

ENTR

button. The Flow Device Limits screen displays.

If the device in the

Flow Device

field is not the one that you want to

configure, press the

–

button to select a different flow device.

Press the

NEXT

button to go to the

Design Flow

field, and then press

the

button to enter the amount of flow in gallons per minute (GPM)

that is allowed through the point of connection for the irrigation

system.

Note

: Press and hold the

button or the

button to rapidly increase or decrease the number in the field.

Press the

NEXT

button to go to the

High Flow Limit

field, and then press the

button to enter the maximum

amount of flow in gallons per minute.

Press the

NEXT

button to go to the

Shut Down

field. If you want programs using this POC to be stopped and

corresponding MVs shut off when the flow rate exceeds the limit, press the

button to enter a

(yes) in the

field. If you do not want excessive flow to shut down the system, leave the

–

Note

: If you want to exit the Flow Device Limits screen, press the CLR button.

Press the

NEXT

button to go to the

Unscheduled Flow Limit

field, and then press the

button to enter the

maximum amount of unscheduled flow in gallons per minute.

Press the

NEXT

button to go to the

Shut Down

field. If you want the associated MVs to turn off when an

unscheduled flow exceeds this limit, press the

button to enter a

(yes) in the field. If you do not want

Mainline Setup

The BaseStation 3200 supports four mainlines. By default, the mainlines are numbered in the controller from 1 – 4

regardless of whether your system has more than one. All programs and flow devices are automatically assigned to

mainline #1, but you can change the settings to match your irrigation system. For more information about

changing how the mainlines are associated with your programs and flow devices, refer to Multiple Flow Devices

and Mainlines on page 64.

The mainline is the primary water management feature in your irrigation system. In the BaseStation 3200, you can

configure the following settings for the mainline in order to better manage flow in your irrigation system.

Note

: The step-by-step procedure for setting up the mainline is on page 61.
