    CAUTION: Understand your irrigation system’s hydraulic restrictions before allowing programs to overlap. Overlapping programs may overdrive the hydraulics of your system. Overdriving your hydraulics will damage the components and result in inferior sprinkler performance. More advanced programming overlap options are available by turning the dial to the SET PROGRAM OVERLAP OPTIONS dial position.

  • Page 32: Setting Flow Monitoring

    ............The ACC is capable of monitoring, learning, and reacting to Real-Time flow. The installation of the optional Hunter Flow Sensor (HFS) or a Data Industrial flow sensor is required for this feature to function. The ACC must first learn the normal flow, by station, for flow sensing to operate correctly.
  • Page 33: Step 2: Viewing Real-Time Flow

    4. If some individual stations do not have learned flow, the display will show Flow Not Learned at the top, when the Information button is pressed with the dial in the Run position. When a station with no learned flow is running, flow monitoring is temporarily disabled.
  • Page 34: Step 3: Preparing For Flow Learning

    5. If the flow sensor selection has been changed to NONE after learning, the display will show FLOW NOT MONITORED. The actual flow may still be viewed, even if all stations have been set to Not Monitored. Station level alarm diagnostics would not be available, but the flow will be visible.

Each station may must exceed the flow by 15% before it will be treated take from 35 seconds to 5 minutes to be learned, as an alarm (to prevent false alarms due to normal flow depending on stability of the flow.

  • Page 37: Tips On Flow Alarms

    • The primary purpose of Underflow alarms is to protect a Pump from deadheading, if a station has failed to open. If a station that has learned flow is activated for test purposes without turning on an actual valve, an Underflow alarm may occur.

    Once a response (SUSPEND or PAUSE) has been set for a Program, all sensor responses must either be the same, or Off. A Program cannot be both Paused and Suspended at the same time.
