Learning Flow
With one or more flow devices, the BaseStation 3200 has the ability to do a learn flow cycle to
determine the flow for zones. You can run the learn flow cycle either for individual zones or by
program. You can set up the learn flow cycle to be delayed from 15 minutes to 23 hours and 45
minutes. You can set multiple programs to learn the flow, each at a different time, or the same
time. When you schedule a learn flow cycle, it only runs one time.
Learning the Flow by Zone
For each zone, you can either set the design flow manually, or you can configure it to run through 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.
1. Turn the dial to the Flow position.
2. Press the Next button to highlight the Zone Learn Flow Operations option.
3. Press the Enter button. The Zone Learn Flow
screen displays.
4. In the Zone field, press the + button to select
the zone that you want to schedule a learn
flow cycle for.
Note: If you already entered the design flow
for this zone, the design flow GPM amount
displays in the Flow Rate field. After a learn
flow cycle is completed successfully, the
design flow value is replaced by the learn
flow value. The learned flow value is recorded
on the screen so this information is not lost when someone manually changes the design flow
value.
5. Press the Next button to go to the Learn Flow Cycle field. If the system already ran a learn
flow cycle for this zone, the status of that cycle (complete or failed) displays in the field. To
schedule a learn flow cycle, press the + button to advance the delay time by 5 minutes.
6. When you have finished scheduling the learn flow cycle, turn the dial to the RUN position.
IMPORTANT NOTE! The learn flow cycle does not start until you turn the dial to the RUN
position.
