Equipment Needed
Lumo pressure sensor
Teflon tape
Adjustable wrench
Computer/phone
Installation Steps
Ensure there is no irrigation running, or scheduled, and the valve is cleared of water
To clear water from the valve;
Close the manual valve or depressurize system
Manually open the Lumo valve
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)
Remove the small rubber gasket from the hex-cap you just removed
Wrap teflon tape around the threaded section of the pressure sensor three times in a clockwise direction
Take the small rubber gasket and place over the teflon tape that is now wrapped around the pressure sensor
Insert the pressure sensor into the inlet-side port that previously held the hex-cap
Using the adjustable wrench, tighten a quarter of a turn to make sure that it is water-tight
Connect the pressure sensor cable to auxiliary port A
Ensure the Lumo valve is closed and pressurize the line
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
