Learning the Flow by Zone
For each zone, you can either set the design flow manually (refer to Setting Up Zones on page 27),
or you can run a learn flow cycle and have its design flow set automatically. You should reconfigure
the design flow for a zone whenever you change out a sprinkler or emitter on a zone or whenever
the learn flow cycle fails for a zone.
Note: The learn flow cycle uses the fill time setting that is configured in the Pipe Fill Time screen. If
you want to change the number of minutes required to fill the pipe and stabilize the flow, refer to
Setting the Pipe Fill Time for a Water Source on page 62.
