Seminar Description:
A variety of flow sensors and meters can be used to monitor flow in irrigation systems. The most common devices include impeller sensors, ultrasonic sensors, water meters, and hydrometers.
Modern irrigation controllers use flow sensors/meters to monitor and react to problem high and low flows and automatically isolating the problem valve or water source. Modern irrigation controllers have flow sensing and management features including learn flow utilities, flow logging, flow monitoring, flow problem set-points, problem flow reactions, and flow alarms.
This seminar will review the selection of the best flow sensor/meter for various applications, sensor/meter sizing, selection and sizing of the master valve, installation best practices, and connection to irrigation controllers.
Learning Objectives:
1. Review common types of irrigation flow sensors/meters.
2. Selecting the correct type/size of flow sensor/meter/master valve for the application.
3. Best practices for installation and connection to irrigation controllers.
