Total Monthly Flow Limit
Enter a maximum monthly flow limit, as described in Chapter 4.
The controller compares the accumulated monthly flow to
maximum monthly flow limit. If the accumulated flow is greater
than the limit, an error condition is detected.
The system default value for maximum monthly total is NONE.
When NONE is selected, no monthly flow checking is
performed.
If the monthly limit is exceeded, there are two options available,
STOP WATERING and GIVE WARNING. See Chapter 4:
Setup for details on selecting each option.
The system default is: GIVE WARNING.
If the stop watering option is selected, the problem is reported in
the warning list and watering stops.
Watering is restarted when:
•
The limit is changed to a larger value
•
The limit is changed to None
•
A new month begins
If the Give Warning option is selected, a warning is reported in
the warning list and watering continues.
Unscheduled Flow Limit
Unscheduled Flow Limit is defined as any water flow that is not
programmed or under the control of the controller. If a water
flow is greater than the limit and no stations are on, the
controller will shut down the water supply until the condition is
corrected.
Unscheduled Flow conditions may be due to broken water lines,
defective valves, faulty solenoids and etc.
