  3. Click on Edit Flow Settings to begin configuration.

 

Step 3: Select Your Flow Sensor Model

  1. If you are using a non-Weathermatic sensor, select Custom.

    • T10 for 1 inch plastic tee.
    • B15 for 1.5 inch brass tee.
    • S30 for 3 inch saddle.
  3. Select the appropriate sensor model for your system.

 

Step 4: Set the Line Fill Time

  1. Determine how long it takes to purge air from the furthest zone on your system.

Step 5: Adjust Sample Time

  1. By default, the sample time is set to 60 seconds.

Step 6: Choose a Flow Shutdown Mode

  1. Select between the two shutdown modes:
    • System: The program will shut down the master valve after two consecutive flow errors.
    • Per Zone: The system will attempt to run all zones, flagging any zones with flow issues.
  2. Choose the mode that best fits your needs.

 

Step 7: Configure Leak Detection

  1. For Normally Open Master Valves, set an acceptable water usage level.
  2. For Normally Closed Master Valves, enter a small positive value like 3 gallons per minute to avoid false alarms.
