7 – FLOW MANAGEMENT & MONITORING<br />
The <strong>BaseStation</strong> <strong>3200</strong> provides an extensive set of flow monitoring and management capabilities to help<br />
understand how water is being used and to reduce the effects of pipeline breaks and sprinkler malfunctions. It can<br />
monitor actual water flow rates and compare them against the expected or<br />
design flow rates and provide alerts and perform actions when limits or<br />
boundaries are exceeded. The system can reduce the overall completion<br />
time of a watering cycle by running the number of zones that best use the<br />
available water at each minute of the watering cycle.<br />
To access the main menu for flow management, turn the dial to the Flow<br />
Menu position.<br />
Using a flow device to monitor water flow rates and water used is the best<br />
way to manage this precious resource, but even without a flow device, the<br />
<strong>BaseStation</strong> <strong>3200</strong> has many capabilities that can improve the efficiency of your system.<br />
Configuring a Flow Device<br />
1. Search for the flow device.<br />
a. Turn the dial to the Flow Menu position.<br />
b. Press the NEXT or PREV button to select Flow Device Setup.<br />
c. Press the ENTR button. The Flow Device Setup screen displays.<br />
d. Press the + or – button until Search displays<br />
in the Configure Flow Device field.<br />
e. Press the ENTR button to search for flow<br />
biCoders. The system indicates how many<br />
flow devices it finds.<br />
2. Press the + or – button to move through the list<br />
of flow devices, and stop when the serial<br />
number of the flow device that you want to set<br />
up displays in the field.<br />
Note: The system assigns a number from 1 to 4<br />
to each flow device in the order that they are<br />
found. This number is used when programming the flow device or when referring to the flow device from<br />
other menus.<br />
3. Press the NEXT button to move to the Enable field, and then press the + or – button to select either Yes or No.<br />
Note: If the flow biCoder is disabled, it will not be used in high flow checking, but it will continue to<br />
accumulate data about the amount of water used.<br />
4. Press the NEXT button to move to the Use Internal NOMV field. If the flow device that you are setting up has<br />
a normally open master valve (NOMV), you can enable it by pressing the +/– buttons. If the flow device does<br />
not have an NOMV, the field displays “na” to indicate that the setting does not apply.<br />
