Pressure Sensor Installation

How to install a pressure sensor using the auxiliary ports

Updated over a month ago

Equipment Needed

  • Lumo pressure sensor

  • Teflon tape

  • Adjustable wrench

  • Computer/phone

Installation Steps

  1. Ensure there is no irrigation running, or scheduled, and the valve is cleared of water

    1. To clear water from the valve;

      1. Close the manual valve or depressurize system

      2. Manually open the Lumo valve

  2. Using the adjustable wrench, unscrew the hex-cap labeled "1/4 NPT" that is located on the inlet side of the valve (identified using the flow directional arrow)

  3. Remove the small rubber gasket from the hex-cap you just removed

  4. Wrap teflon tape around the threaded section of the pressure sensor three times in a clockwise direction

  5. Take the small rubber gasket and place over the teflon tape that is now wrapped around the pressure sensor

  6. Insert the pressure sensor into the inlet-side port that previously held the hex-cap

  7. Using the adjustable wrench, tighten a quarter of a turn to make sure that it is water-tight

  8. Connect the pressure sensor cable to auxiliary port A

  9. Ensure the Lumo valve is closed and pressurize the line

  10. If successful, pressure will be visible on the Activity Map on the dashboard and Flow Vision will display a pressure reading on the next irrigation
