Complete calibration tables for Tee mounted sensors are listed at 
the end of this appendix. 
 

Flow Limit Checking 

To perform limit checking, the controller computes a Gallon-
Per-Minute (GPM) flow rate based upon the total gallons used in 
the previous 60 seconds. 
 
Limit checks are then performed on the following: 

 

Station upper limit 

 

Station lower limit 

 

Main flow limit 

 

Total monthly flow limit 

 

Unscheduled flow limit  

Each station limit can be automatically established by the 
controller or manually entered. 
 
Details about each limit are given below. 

 
 
 

 

Station Upper Limit 

Enter an upper flow limit for the station, as described in Chapter 
4. The controller compares the flow meter reading to the station 
limit. If the meter value is larger than the limit, an error 
condition is detected. 

Warning: 

Limit checking is only performed when either the 
upper and/or lower limits have been ENABLED.
