that is attached to the unit then is connected to wire
routed back to the Sensor Interface Box. With an easy
installation procedure, the Hunter Flow-Clik will start
to pay dividends almost immediately.
Install Flow-Clik Sensor up to 1000' from
the Controller...
At times the ideal placement for a flow-
sensing device is a long distance from
the controller location. An advantage
of the Hunter Flow-Clik is that it can be
installed up to a maximum distance of
1000 feet from the interface when
installed with #18 gauge or larger
copper wire. This gives the installer
the added flexibility of installing the
flow sensor in a location that will pro-
vide maximum benefit in monitoring
system flow.
Programmable Start-up Delay...
Increased start-up flow velocities wonʼt effect flow
sensor readings
The high velocities that are common during the initial
activation of an irrigation cycle could cause the flow
sensor to sense a "high flow" situation and subsequent-
ly shut down the irrigation system at the beginning of
every cycle. The Flow-Clik addresses this potential
issue by giving the user the capability to select one
of nine preset start-up delays ranging from 20 to 300
seconds to provide adequate time for the system flow
and velocity to stabilize.
Programmable Automatic System Reset...
System monitoring without intervention
The Flow-Clik has the capability of diagnosing a high-
flow condition, shutting down the system or individual
zone, then automatically starting up the system again
after a pre-selected time has passed. By waiting out
a selected amount of time allows the controller to
bypass the "problem" zone and continue watering the
"good" zones.
The Hunter interface offers pre-selected off times
that are user programmable by a dial with seven pre-se-
lected positions. Using the Flow-Clik allows the prop-
erty to continue to be automatically irrigated through
the other zones without any user intervention.
With other flow sensors on the market today, if a
Flow-Clik
pipe was to rupture or
sprinklers were dam-
aged creating a "high-
flow" situation, the
system would shut down
and stay down until
the flow sensor was manually reset. If the irrigation
manager were not available to reset the flow sensor, the
watering schedule would be completely eliminated.
Customized Calibration for Precise
System Control...
Every irrigation system is set individually
Using the Flow-Clikʼs interface, the sensor is calibrated
with the simple push of a button during the operation
of the highest flow zone. While the system is "learn-
ing" the flow, a yellow LED light is visible indicating
the status to the user.
For a more accurate determination of the total flow
for each zone, it is recommended that you measure
the nozzle pressure at each sprinkler zone and then
look up the nozzle flow at that specific pressure in the
nozzle performance data section of the manufacturer
product catalog.
Note:
A guideline that will help you easily determine
which valve zone has the highest flow (GPM), is
to count the number of sprinklers on the zone and
multiply each spray head by 2.0 GPM, each me-
dium range rotor by 4.0 GPM and each large range
rotors by 15.0 GPM.
