To set up the water source
1. Turn the dial to the Water Sources position.
2. Press the Next button to highlight the Water Sources (POCs) Setup option.
3. Press the Enter button. The Setup POCs
screen displays.
4. In the Water Source field, press the + button
to select the POC that you want to set up.
5. Press the Next button to move to the POC
Priority field, and then press the + or –
button to set the priority as High, Medium,
Low, or Off. The system will use the high
priority water source first, and then switch to
medium, and finally to low.
Note: When you have multiple POCs on a mainline, the priority setting allows you to use the
POC with the lowest cost of water first (high priority), but you can only set priorities when you
have a normally closed master valve installed on the POCs. Use the Off setting for POCs that
do not have flow meters or master valves.
6. Press the Next button to move to the Design Flow GPM field, and then press the + or –
button to enter the amount of flow in gallons per minute (GPM) that is allowed through this
point of connection for the irrigation system.
7. Press the Next button to move to the High Flow Limit GPM field, and then press the + or –
button to enter the maximum amount of flow in gallons per minute.
8. Press the Next button to move to the Shut Down field. If you want programs using this POC
to be stopped and corresponding MVs shut off when the flow rate exceeds the limit, press the
+ button to enter a Y (yes) in the field. If you do not want excessive flow to shut down the
system, enter an N (no) in the field.
9. Press the Next button to move to the Unscheduled Flow Limit GPM field, and then press the
+ or – button to enter the maximum amount of unscheduled flow in gallons per minute.
10. Press the Next button to move to the Shut Down field. If you want the associated MVs to turn
off when an unscheduled flow exceeds this limit, press the + button to enter a Y (yes) in the
field. If you do not want excessive flow to shut down the system, enter an N (no) in the field.
11. Press the Next button to move to the Monthly Budget Gal field, and then press the + or –
button to enter the maximum amount of water that can be used per month in gallons.
12. Press the Next button to move to the Shut Down field. If you want the associated MVs to turn
off when the amount of water used exceeds this limit, press the + button to enter a Y (yes) in
the field. If you do not want excessive water use to shut down the system, enter an N (no) in
the field.
13. Press the Next button to move to the Water Rationing field. To enable water rationing, press
the + button to display Enabled in the field. When you enable water rationing, the system
determines the daily water ration by dividing the number of gallons in the Monthly Budget
field by the number of days in the month. The system will use only the ration amount for daily
watering. If a day is skipped, that water ration is available the next day.
