Troubleshooting Guide

Problem Cause Solution
System Status Indicator light is off No AC power to the Flow-Clik Interface Box
  1. Check that the Interface Box power leads (yellow wires) are attached to the 24 VAC terminals on the controller.
  2. Verify that the power to the controller is on.
System Status Indicator light is flashing red Irrigation system is in an overflow condition Normal operation during an overflow condition. The Flow-Clik has identified overflow condition and is waiting the pre-set startup delay period before shutting the system off.
System Status Indicator is steady red Irrigation system is in an overflow condition Normal operation during an overflow condition.
  1. The Flow-Clik has identified an overflow condition and is waiting the predetermined amount of time set as the Interrupt Period before restarting the irrigation cycle.
  2. The Interrupt Period setting is in the Manual Restart position requiring that the Flow-Clik be reset before irrigation can resume. Press the Restart System button to reactivate the Flow-Clik
Flow-Clik will not shut the irrigation system off No power to Flow-Clik

Faulty wire connections from the Flow-Clik sensor to the Interface Box

System has not reached an overflow condition

System is in the Startup Delay mode

 Check System Status Indicator light is on (if light is off, see above).

Check Flow-Clik sensor wires (red and black wires) are properly connected.

  1. Normal operation.
  2. System is not balanced. Too much variation between flow rates of the zones may prevent the Flow-Clik from sensing an overflow condition on the lower flow zone(s). Flow-Clik will only shut the system down if flows exceed highest flow zone.

Wait for start up delay period to end
Flow-Clik continually shuts off a zone with no known problems Flow-Clik is improperly calibrated

High fluctuations in system pressure

 Reset the Flow-Clik to the highest flow zone.

It is recommended that the Flow-Clik be set at the time of day that the irrigation system will be run. Note: If too much pressure fluctuation occurs, it may be necessary to add pressure regulation to the system
System Status Indicator light is not Flashing Green when the system is running Faulty wiring connections from the Flow-Clik sensor to the Interface Box

AC power not being supplied to the Interface Box

Debris is stuck in the impeller of the Flow-Clik sensor

 Check Flow-Clik sensor wires (red and black wires) are properly connected.

Check the wiring connections from the controller to the Interface Box.

Confirm that system pressure is off. Remove cap and pull sensor out of the sensor body and inspect for debris or damage to the impeller.
System Status Indicator is Flashing Red/Green System experienced an overflow condition during an automatic watering cycle. Manually cycle system to find cause of system overflow.
Press the Restart/Calibrate button to reset the system status indicator.
