13.4.1 Introduction to Flow
The LXME2 controller oers a wide variety of ow-related functionality to utilize your system more
eciently, with or without additional ow sensing hardware.
•
See here for examples of ow sensor installations.
13.4.2 FloZones Overview
The FloZone is the group of stations connected to the Master Valve. The LXME2 supports 1 FloZone.
Non Irrigation Stations are not part of the FloZone.
13.4.3 Flow Management Features
After setting the Master Valves and FloZones for your system, the next step is to decide which ow-
related features you’d like to use.
The LXME2 controller ow features can be divided into two dierent functional groups; Flo-
Manager® and FloWatch.
Flo-Manager®
Flo-Manager® adds basic hydraulic management features to your system to ensure that sucient
water pressure and volume is available to operate all stations.
•
Although it is helpful, ow sensing hardware is not required to use Flo-Manager®. You can manually enter
estimated ow rates even if ow sensing hardware is not installed.
Flo-Watch™
FloWatch allows you to use any or all of the Flo-Manager® features but adds additional functionality
such as alarms for high ow and low ow situations based on parameters you set and control. See
“Set Flow Limits” for more details.
•
Flow sensing hardware is required to use FloWatch.
