Rain Bird - 1" Ultrasonic Flow Sensor BSP

Rain Bird flow sensors send flow data to central control or stand-alone control systems for precise and accurate flow monitoring. Rain Bird flow sensors enable you to capitalize on the advantages of Flow Sensing functionality.

ULTRASONIC SENSORS

Designed for outdoor and underground applications, Rain Bird Ultrasonic Flow Sensors offer the highest performance in flow sensing. Using internal ultrasonic transducers and acoustical reflectors, the UFS Series reads high and very low flow rates reliably and accurately. The UFS has a special body constructed of Glass Filled Nylon, enabling high pressure ratings, and has no straight pipe requirements, allowing more flexible installation location selection.

FEATURES

• Use any Rain Bird Flow Sensor with Rain Bird IQ4, Maxicom2 and SiteControl central control systems or in standalone systems using Rain Bird LXIVM, LXD and LXME2PRO controllers to benefit from:
• Flo-Watch™: Constantly monitors for low or excess flow conditions such as those caused by broken lines or heads, automatically quarantines and shuts down the problem area and continues to irrigate non-affected areas. Saves water, saves plant material and enables irrigation programs to continue and complete. (Note: SiteControl does not offer low flow detection.)
• Learned Flow: The controller automatically learns station flow rates resulting in more accurate flow rates as compared to manually established flow rates. The automatic collection prevents you from having to manually enter data from drawings or physically visiting each valve to collect flow data and manually entering the data into a controller. (Note: Maxicom and SiteControl do not offer Learned Flow.)
• FloManager®: Determines the optimal station irrigating sequence. The system runs at its fullest capacity until programs are complete. The controller automatically selects and runs multiple valves at the same time within hydraulic parameters allowing for shorter water windows. Flow rates may be manually measured and entered into the controller to utilize FloManager functionality. Using a flow sensor and Learned Flow capabilities can help to optimize system performance.
• IQ4 (Central Control): Add IQ4 to remotely manage your LXIVM, LXD, LXME2PRO controllers. Centrally managing your controllers with IQ4 saves labor and time by eliminating constant monitoring of the site and trips to the controllers. Retrieve alarms or receive alarms via email and SMS message regarding problem areas to dispatch maintenance personnel to check and repair. (Note: In addition to IQ4, Maxicom and SiteControl can also be used to remotely monitor flow from a computer.
