How Does Flow Detection Work With FG100 Flow Sensor and ESP-ME3 Controller
Feature Overview
The features described here refer to functionality of the ESP-ME3 controller. Some features require the ESP-ME3 to be connected to the Rain Bird app using the LNK2. Flow sensing features will vary by controller. Please refer to the documentation of your specific controller.
Learn Flow
Rain Bird controllers use Learn Flow technology to establish a baseline expected flow rate for each station. The controller does this by running each station for several minutes when you first set up the FG100 and recording the flow data.
Flow Sensor Detects High Flow
If the FG100 detects a flow exceeding 130% of the Learned Flow, automatic irrigation is shut off station by station, and an alarm is activated. The threshold and behavior can be adjusted from within the Rain Bird app.
Flow Sensor Detects Low Flow
If your flow sensor detects flow below 70% of the Learned Flow then automatic irrigation will be shut off by station, and an alarm will be activated. The threshold and behavior can be adjusted from within the Rain Bird app.
