6.13.3 Unscheduled Flow Limit 

 
This feature allows you to program the Unscheduled Upper Flow Limit. This is the maximum flow 
that the controller will allow whenever there are no stations on. With no irrigation, and a Normally 
Closed Master Valve, the typical installation should have no flow and the limit should be set to 
zero. For systems which have a Normally Open Master Valve and the possibility of supplemental 
watering due to quick coupler manual devices, you have the option of setting a non-zero value 
which will be allowed when the controller does not have any active stations. If this value is 
exceeded an unscheduled flow fault occurs. 

 
 

NOTE: 

This SETUP function will be skipped if you have not enabled the flow  

   features. 

 

EXAMPLE:

 Select an Unscheduled Flow Limit of 25 GPM.

6.13.4 Flow Check Delay 

 
The Flow Check delay feature allows you to program a delay after any change of stations for which 
no flow limits will be checked. 
 
Whenever there is a change in stations (a station gets turned on or off) the controller will not check 
for flow limit faults from the time of the change until this delay has expired; this gives the system 
time to stabilize before any flow limit checking takes place. 
 
The flow check delay can be set, from 1 to 6 minutes, in 1 minute increments.
