ESP-LXD 2-Wire Decoder Control System Installation & Troubleshooting Guide
Flow Sensor Installation
Sensor to be placed in straight run (sensor run) of pipe.
A sensor run of no less than 10 times the pipe diameter on the sensor inlet is required.
A sensor run of no less than 5 times the pipe diameter on the sensor outlet is required.
The associated master valve would typically be installed on the upstream side before the
sensor run.
Low Flow Bypass Design
A Low Flow Bypass design is where two (2) flow sensors are utilized to accurately measure both low
& high flow rates on a single water source.
The larger master valve’s pressure regulator is set three (3) to five (5) lbs. lower than the pressure
regulator on the smaller master valve.
Low flows will automatically flow through the small master valve and flow sensor until the flow
rate increases to the point where the three (3) to five (5) PSI differential is overcome and flow
will automatically flow through both master valves and flow sensors.
Configure both master valves and flow sensors on the same FloZone.
