BaseStation 3200 Advanced Irrigation Controller Manual Multiple Flow Devices and Mainlines With the BaseStation 3200, you can independently manage four mainlines separate from each other. A mainline is defined as a primary water delivery pipe that delivers water to a specific set of zones (valves and heads). Mainlines are considered to be different and separate if the water in one mainline cannot be delivered to the zones of another mainline. You can program sites with this topology so that each mainline operates independently. In this scenario, a learn flow cycle can be running on mainline 1, while a high flow shutdown event is occurring on mainline 2, but the other mainlines and their programs/zones will continue to operate normally. If you want your irrigation system to have this capability, you need to assign the various pieces of your system to a corresponding mainline. A mainline can have flow devices, master valves, and programs (which contain the zones connected to the mainline). The illustration to the right shows how you can configure a site that has two mainlines. Note that mainline 2 has two POCs, each with a master valve and flow device. You will find it helpful to have a diagram of your site when you are configuring the BaseStation 3200. Most sites are served by a single mainline, meaning that all water is distributed through a single pipe, even though there may be multiple POCs that supply water to that pipe or mainline. For this reason, mainline 1 is the default for all flow devices, master valves, and programs. To assign mainline numbers to your flow devices and programs 1. Turn the dial to the Flow Menu position. 2. Press the NEXT button to select Mainline Configure, and then press the ENTR button. The Mainline Configure screen displays. 3. Press the + or – button to assign the mainline to the displayed flow device. 4. Press the NEXT button to move to list of programs. 5. If you need to assign any of your programs to a mainline other than #1, press the NEXT button until the box for that program is selected, and then press the + or – button to assign the mainline number to the program. Note: If you want to exit the Mainline Configure screen, press the CLR button. 6. When you have finished making changes, turn the dial to the Auto Run position. Page 64
BaseStation 3200 Advanced Irrigation Controller Manual 8 – MANUAL OPERATIONS The BaseStation 3200 has several options that enable you to manually control your irrigation system. You can force a program to start, stop a program that is actively watering or set the next start date for a program. You can also manually water a single zone, all zones, or the zones of a program. The Manual Water is useful for doing a walk-about test of multiple valves, or for applying additional water for a short period of time to a specific zone. Manually Running a Program Manual Run is used to force a program to start, stop a program that is actively watering, or set the NEXT start date for a program when you are using the Historical ET Calendar interval setting. Note: Programs that do not use the Historical ET Calendar mode have a fixed schedule and are modified in the Day Intervals dial position. Refer to the topic for setting up the day intervals for a program on page 49. Forcing a Program to Start 1. Turn the dial to the Manual Run Program position. 2. Make sure that the field at the top of the screen says Start or Stop Program. If another option displays in that field, press the + button to change the option to Start or Stop Program. 3. Press the NEXT button to move to the list of programs. 4. Press the NEXT button to move to a stopped program that you want to start. 5. Press the + button to change the program’s status to Running. 6. Turn the dial to the Auto Run position. Stopping an Active Program 1. Turn the dial to the Manual Run Program position. 2. Make sure that the field at the top of the screen says Start or Stop Program. If another option displays in that field, press the + button to change the option to Start or Stop Program. 3. Press the NEXT button to move to the list of programs. 4. Press the NEXT button to move to a running program that you want to stop. 5. Press the + button to change the program’s status to Stopped. 6. Turn the dial to the Auto Run position. Page 65
