Calsense Flow Meters, model FM, are used with all Calsense irrigation controllers to monitor real-time flow of potable or non-potable water making them important tools in detecting mainline and lateral breaks on an irrigation system. Real-time system flows are learned automatically at night when irrigation comes on so that constant flow rates are measured, in order to provide the most accurate and reliable monitoring of breaks and problems as they occur.
A flashing mainline break alert on the irrigation controller will alert the user to the problem
Calsense irrigation controllers monitor the flow meter continuously and will close a master valve if at any time the flow exceeds the user selected mainline break number
A normally closed or normally open master valve can be used
If a valve does not open, or has a measured flow rate below the flow meter minimum, the irrigation controller will flash a no flow alert on the display
It is made of brass
If the backflow preventer or water meter has been turned off, every station on the controller will have a no flow alert
