Flow Operations
LEARN FLOW
The final step in Flow Monitor setup (unless the MainSafe
option is enabled) is the actual learning process.
Dial to the
Flow
menu, and select
Learn Flow
. The screen will
show the status of the last learn flow attempt, if there was
one.
Flow learning will only test stations that already have a Run
Time in a program.
Flow learning will cancel all other irrigation, automatic
and manual, until the learning is complete.
Flow cannot be
learned while other stations are running for other reasons.
Press the soft key for
Report
to verify that stations are ready
to learn. This will show how many flow sensors are configured,
how many stations have run times, and how many already
have flow rate data.
If all stations have run times, press the
Learn
soft key. The
controller will begin starting stations, one at a time, for up
to five minutes each, plus the delay time set for the station)
to learn the flow. If flow stabilizes sooner, the controller will
move to the next station without running the full five minutes.
Flow learning can be a lengthy process
, depending on how
many stations there are, and how stable the flow is.
When the learning is complete, the
Learn Flow
screen will
summarize how many stations were learned, and how many
have failed. Troubleshoot the failed stations (either in setup,
or in the field) and try learning again to fill in the failed
stations.
SCHEDULE FLOW LEARNING
It is possible to set the controller to Learn Flow automatically
at a later time and date. Remember that
flow learning will
cancel any other automatic irrigation
, so choose a time and
date that are not conflicting with critical irrigation.
