60 Calsense
Note: A bypass manifold requires the 2-Wire option (model CS3-2WIRE-OPT) and two or more POC
Decoders (model CS-2W-POC).
To configure a bypass manifold (Figure 48):
1. Navigate to the POC to edit.
2. Select the POC name to create a name to uniquely identify the POC.
3. For POC used for, indicate whether the POC is used for Irrigation, Non-Irrigation, or Not used.
4. For How many levels in this Bypass Manifold, select whether there are 2 or 3 levels.
5. For each tab (Smallest, Larger, Largest), perform the following steps:
Note: The tab name refers to the size of the flow meter associated with each level. Therefore,
the decoder attached to the smallest diameter flow sensor should be configured on the Smallest
tab and so on. Failure to do so will result in the bypass manifold not operating properly.
a. For Decoder S/N, use +/- to select set which decoder operates this level.
b. For Master Valve, use +/- to select Master Valve type. Note that only the smallest size
may have a normally open Master Valve. All other levels must be normally closed.
c. For Flow Meter, use +/- to select Flow Meter type.
• If FMBX is selected as the Flow Meter type, set the appropriate K-value and
offset. Refer to the sensor manufacture’s documentation for the correct
settings.
• If a Reed Switch is selected as the Flow Meter Type, use +/- to set the register’s
gallons per pulse.
d. For Maximum Flow Rate, use +/- to set the maximum flow rate this Flow Meter can
support before the controller should dynamically switch to a larger level within the
manifold.
Acquire Flow Rates
The Acquire Flow Rate feature allows the controller to determine each station’s expected flow rate the
next time the Station Group irrigates. To acquire the expected flow for a single station, see
Testing Stations
.
Note: This menu item only displays if there is a flow meter in use.
