FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ...............................................................What is the ideal location for a <strong>Flow</strong>-<strong>Clik</strong> sensor in myirrigation system?Should I be concerned about winterization with the<strong>Flow</strong>-<strong>Clik</strong>?If your system is balanced (similar flow rates among allzones), the best position for the <strong>Flow</strong>-<strong>Clik</strong> sensor would bejust downstream of the master valve in your system. Makesure the sensor is at least 10 times the pipe diameter indistance away from the outlet of the master valve.Do I need a master valve to use the <strong>Flow</strong>-<strong>Clik</strong>?The use of a master valve is preferred when installing a<strong>Flow</strong>-<strong>Clik</strong> in your system. The <strong>Flow</strong>-<strong>Clik</strong> is designed to preventwater loss due to catastrophic failure of your irrigationsystem. If a master valve is used at the beginning of themainline, the <strong>Flow</strong>-<strong>Clik</strong> can provide maximum protection inshutting off the system when mainline ruptures occur.My controller is running two valves at one time. Is this aproblem?No. The <strong>Flow</strong>-<strong>Clik</strong> is designed to be calibrated to your highestflow zone(s). If you are operating more than one valvewith your controller, both valves need to be operating at thesame time during <strong>Flow</strong>-<strong>Clik</strong> calibration and setup.Typically, systems are winterized using compressed air to“blow out” the water in a system. Depending upon the locationof the <strong>Flow</strong>-<strong>Clik</strong> sensor in the irrigation system, it maysense a “high flow” condition due to air moving the sensorat a very high rate. It is recommend that the <strong>Flow</strong>-<strong>Clik</strong> beshut off before winterization by using the sensor bypassswitch at the controller to deactivate the sensor.Can I use one <strong>Flow</strong>-<strong>Clik</strong> sensor with two irrigation controllerson the same system?No. The <strong>Flow</strong>-<strong>Clik</strong> is designed so that each sensor has anInterface Box that attaches to each specific controllers.Controllers cannot share the Interface Box.Can I use multiple <strong>Flow</strong>-<strong>Clik</strong> sensors on the samesystem?Yes. <strong>Flow</strong>-<strong>Clik</strong> sensors can be installed on multiple laterallines within your irrigation system for a higher level ofoverflow protection. However, each sensor would requireits own Interface Box at the controller and would need to bewired in series with one another.25
