Baseline FlowStation User Manual
Configuring the Shared Flow Settings on the BaseStation 3200
When a BaseStation 3200 irrigation controller is part of a shared flow group, follow the instructions
in the User Manual to perform the following tasks on the controller:
• Assign and configure the zones.
• Assign and configure the master valves, flow meters, and booster pumps.
• Set up the programs and their start/stop/pause conditions.
• Set up the POCs – a POC that is assigned to the FlowStation will maintain all of its settings
except priority and rationing.
To configure the controller for shared flow, perform the following tasks described in this User
Manual:
• Connect the BaseStation 3200 to the FlowStation (refer to Connecting a BaseStation 3200
Controller to the FlowStation on page 4).
• Turn over control of the POCs to the FlowStation (refer to Enabling Shared Flow for a POC on
the BaseStation 3200 on page 8).
• Assign the programs to the FlowStation (refer to Assigning Programs to the FlowStation on
page 9).
• Assign the Booster Pumps to the FlowStation (refer to Assigning Booster Pumps to the
FlowStation on page 9).
When the BaseStation 3200 configuration is complete and a start condition is met for a program
that is assigned to the FlowStation, the controller asks the FlowStation for water. After the
FlowStation allocates the water, the program will start. After the resources are “shared” they can
no longer be used directly by the controller. The FlowStation will decide when these resources are
used.
Enabling Shared Flow for a POC on the BaseStation 3200
1. On the BaseStation 3200 irrigation controller, turn the dial to the Flow position.
2. Press the Next button to highlight the Assign Water Sources to Mainlines option.
3. Press the Enter button. The POC to Mainline
screen displays.
4. In the Point of Connection column, press the +
or – button to select the POC that you want to
assign to the FlowStation.
5. Press the Next button to move to the
Mainline column.
6. Press the + or – button to display FlowStn in
the Mainline column.
7. Repeat steps 1 – 6 on each BaseStation 3200
irrigation controller that will be sharing flow.
