“Number of controllers in chain.” can only be
adjusted at the master controller.

Setting up a
FLOWSENSE

chain involves making
adjustment entries to the Master controller and every
controller that a flow meter or master valve is
physically installed on. Make sure you are familiar
with the following subsections of Section 4 FLOW:
•
A. Flow Meter setup.
•
B. Line Fill & Valve close times.
•
C. Master Valve.
•
D.
Pump.

H. Alert Actions.
in addition to the following instructions:
1. Mainline Capacity
System capacity is defined by the max flow rate of
water that your system can operate at during
irrigation.
Note:
This setting will have to be adjusted at the
Master Controller (The controller with the letter “A”
as the right most character in its communications
address).
From the FLOW METER, MASTER VALVE & PUMP
