<strong>BaseStation</strong> <strong>3200</strong> Advanced Irrigation Controller <strong>Manual</strong><br />
• Monthly Budget – When the value in this field is greater than zero, the system monitors the total water used<br />
during a single month.<br />
If the monthly water used exceeds this number, an alert is generated. If you set the Shut Down field to Y (yes),<br />
then the associated MVs shut off and water is stopped until the first of the next month.<br />
To configure the flow device limits<br />
1. Turn the dial to the Flow Menu position.<br />
2. Press the NEXT button to select Flow Device Limits, and then press the<br />
ENTR button. The Flow Device Limits screen displays.<br />
3. If the device in the Flow Device field is not the one that you want to<br />
configure, press the + or – button to select a different flow device.<br />
4. Press the NEXT button to go to the Design Flow field, and then press<br />
the + button to enter the amount of flow in gallons per minute (GPM)<br />
that is allowed through the point of connection for the irrigation<br />
system.<br />
Note: Press and hold the + button or the - button to rapidly increase or decrease the number in the field.<br />
5. Press the NEXT button to go to the High Flow Limit field, and then press the + button to enter the maximum<br />
amount of flow in gallons per minute.<br />
6. Press the NEXT button to go to the Shut Down field. If you want programs using this POC to be stopped and<br />
corresponding MVs shut off when the flow rate exceeds the limit, press the + button to enter a Y (yes) in the<br />
field. If you do not want excessive flow to shut down the system, leave the – in the field.<br />
Note: If you want to exit the Flow Device Limits screen, press the CLR button.<br />
7. Press the NEXT button to go to the Unscheduled Flow Limit field, and then press the + button to enter the<br />
maximum amount of unscheduled flow in gallons per minute.<br />
8. Press the NEXT button to go to the Shut Down field. If you want the associated MVs to turn off when an<br />
unscheduled flow exceeds this limit, press the + button to enter a Y (yes) in the field. If you do not want<br />

Mainline Setup<br />
The <strong>BaseStation</strong> <strong>3200</strong> supports four mainlines. By default, the mainlines are numbered in the controller from 1 – 4<br />
regardless of whether your system has more than one. All programs and flow devices are automatically assigned to<br />
mainline #1, but you can change the settings to match your irrigation system. For more information about<br />
changing how the mainlines are associated with your programs and flow devices, refer to Multiple Flow Devices<br />
and Mainlines on page 64.<br />
The mainline is the primary water management feature in your irrigation system. In the <strong>BaseStation</strong> <strong>3200</strong>, you can<br />
configure the following settings for the mainline in order to better manage flow in your irrigation system.<br />
Note: The step-by-step procedure for setting up the mainline is on page 61.<br />
