Setting a High Flow Limit for a Water Source
You can enter a high flow limit for a running water source and then set up the system to shut down
the water source if that limit is exceeded. The system uses this gallons per minute (gpm) value as a
critical limit. When this value is greater than zero, the system compares the limit against the
measured reading from the flow device every minute. If the flow rate reading exceeds the limit for
three or four minutes in a row, the system generates an alert. If you enable the Shut Down field,
then programs using this water source will be stopped and corresponding master valves (MVs) will
be shut off when the flow rate exceeds the limit.
