1.  Make sure that the irrigation controller you want to work with is displayed in the BaseManager footer. To select a different controller, click the "Menu" icon  in the upper-left corner of the BaseManager page, and then click "Sites and Controllers". Continue drilling down until you can select the desired controller.

2.  Click the "Water Sources" tab. The list of available water sources displays.

3.  Click the ">" arrow in the row for the water source that you want to assign. The Water Source page displays.

4.  Click the "Edit" button in the lower-right of the BaseManager footer. The Water Source fields become available for editing.

5.  In the "Description" field, type a name that makes this Water Source easy to identify.

6.  In the "Enabled" field, a check mark in the box means that the Water Source will be used. Click in the box to set the check mark or remove the check mark.

7.  In the "Pipe Fill Time" field, enter the number of minutes that it takes to fill the empty line, activate the valve, and reach a steady state operating pressure.

8.  If you have a flow meter and/or master valve assigned on your controller, those devices display in their respective fields in the Devices section. Click in the boxes in those fields to enable the devices for this water source.

9.  In the "Target Flow" field, you can enter a value in gallons per minute (GPM) for this water source. The BaseStation 1000 uses this value to manage the number of zones that can run at one time so that the water source is used as efficiently as possible. If you set this value to zero, you cannot use this GPM amount to control concurrent zones.

10.  In the "Limit Concurrent" field, a checkmark indicates that the system will limit the number of zones that can run at the same time by the gallons per minute in the Target Flow field. Click in the box to set the check mark or remove the check mark.

11.  In the "High Flow Limit" field, a check mark in the box means that programs using this water source will be stopped and corresponding master valves (MVs) will be shut off when the flow rate exceeds the limit in the High Flow Limit (GPM) field. Click in the box to set the check mark or remove the check mark.

12.  In the "High Flow Limit (GPM)" field, you can enter a limit for a running water source. The system uses this gallons per minute (GPM) value as a critical limit. When this value is greater than zero, the system compares the limit against the measured reading from the flow device every minute. If the flow rate reading exceeds the limit for three or four minutes in a row, the system generates an alert.

13.  In the "Unexpected Flow Limit" field, a check mark in the box means that the system will monitor the flow even when the water source is off in order to prevent water loss due to a broken pipe. Click in the box to set the check mark or remove the check mark.

14.  In the "Unexpected Flow Limit (GPM)" field, you can enter a flow limit for a water source that is turned off. When you have a NOMV, you can set this limit to allow some flow that is off schedule, such as from manual taps or hose bibs.

15.  In the "Flow Variance" field, a check mark in the box means that the system will monitor the water source for flow that exceeds the variance limit. During normal program watering, the controller compares the sum of the design flow (or learned flow) from all running zones against the measured flow of the flow device (or the sum of all flow devices supplying water to the mainline). The measured flow may be higher than the expected flow.

16.  In the "Variance Limit" field, set the value to a number between 10% and 200%. When the ratio becomes greater than the variance limit, the controller identifies the faulty zone and stops it. A message displays on the controller and in BaseManager. The zone will not run again until the message and the fault are cleared.

17.  When you finish making changes to the Water Source settings, click the "Save" button in the BaseManager footer.
