Limits
The number, in total gallons, that the irrigation system should Monthly Limit:
not exceed per month. If it does, the DX3 controller will either generate an
alert (and keep watering) or simply stop watering until a new month begins.
Watering can also be resumed by increasing the monthly limit.
The number, in gallons per minute, the flow of the main line Main Line Limit:
shall not exceed. If the calculated flow ever does exceed this number, an alert
will be triggered condemning all irrigation until cleared. The number should be
set to a value than the flow if all simultaneous stations (six) are “on” but higher
lower than if there is a main line break.
Unscheduled Limit: During periods of no programmed irrigation activity
or no manually activated irrigation, the flow in a system should be zero. The
Unscheduled Limit number, then, is the number in gallons per minute set to
trip an alert if flow is detected during these times of inactivity, condemning all
automatic irrigation until cleared.
Unscheduled flow conditions may be due to broken water lines, defective valves,
faulty solenoids, and/or more.
Flow Check Delay: When a valve is activated, the initial flow rate may be
significantly higher than the valve’s “steady” state. This could be due to drainage
of water lines, waiting for pump water, or other. The initial high flow rate could
therefore trigger many unwanted and premature alerts. This Flow Check Delay
delays the calculation of flow for a period of two to nine minutes to allow the
flow to stabilize.
To set this number accurately, observe which station takes the longest time for
its GPM rate to stabilize. Round this time period to the next minute and use
that rounded value as the Flow Check Delay value
Press or to get to “Monitoring” Flow Options.

Monitoring Flow
Once the station flow limits have been established, the flow limit checking (upper and
lower limits) may be enabled or disabled. When upper limits have been enabled, all
station upper limits will be enforced on an individual station basis. When lower limits
have been enabled, all station lower limits will be enforced on an individual station basis.
The default is disabled, meaning no limit checking is performed. However, the GPM
flow and total monthly flow are still calculated. Monthly limit, main line limit,
unscheduled flow, and flow check delay are always enforced regardless of the flow
limit monitoring settings.
To Enable Max and/or Min Flow Limit Monitoring:
1) to switch between the check boxes.
2) to turn on or off desired option.

Learn Flow/Current
For the DX3 controller to issue meaningful alerts when there is a flow or current
problem, the proper flow and current rates must be “learned” by the system. The
Learn Flow/Current command therefore teaches the DX3 system the nominal (ideal)
current and flow settings to each valve and station. One would typically activate the
Learn command for either a new system or when a when a new flow meter has been
installed.
The Learn Flow/Current command consists of three screens:
Current %'s: Setup the Nominal Current limits. Use the Control Dial to switch
between and adjust the Upper and Lower Limit fields. Recommended value for Upper
Limit and Lower Limit is 30% for both.
Flow %'s: Setup the Nominal Flow limits. Use the Control Dial to switch between
and adjust the Upper and Lower Limit fields. Recommended value for Upper Limit
and Lower Limit is 20% for both.
Use the Control Dial to activate the Learn Flow/Current command, triggering the
3rd screen above.
If the “All Satellites” check box is checked, the learn function will be performed
on the submaster and all connected satellites.

If the Submaster option is active, that means the DX3 controller has a direct link to
the Central computer. The controller can communicate with the Central in any one
of six methods:
• Raveon M8 (UHF radio)
• Ethernet
• Wifi
• Serial
• Digi Cellular
• Other
The Submaster Address can be any number between 0 and 999. If you were to have
more than one DX3 controller as a Submaster attached to any one Central computer,
be sure they have different Submaster addresses.
Use the Control Dial to activate, select a communication method, and assign an
address for these fields.
Press or to get to “Ethernet” screen.
Cloud Connect
Cloud connect provides a method for remotely accessing the irrigation control. The
user has an option of using cloud connect via Ethernet, Cellular or WiFi.
Cloud connect is mandatory for cellular communication to the Central and optional
for WiFi or Ethernet communication to the Central.

Client field to NO and, using the Control Dial, enter the appropriate IP address
information. Contact your network administrator for the correct configuration
information.
LAGUNA Port defaults to 10001. If separate WLAN ports are desired,
they must use a unique LAGUNA Port (a rare-use case).
WiFi
The WiFi menu is used to select the wireless network to connect to (SSID).
Enter the network password (KEY) and select the password encryption type
(Encryption).

Current Checks
The DX3 controller allows the operator to limit and view the controller’s output
current (Amps) usage. Much like established flow limits aid in the detection of
problems with the system, establishing current limits aids in detection of field wiring
problems associated with any station. Monitoring features include:
• Display of the total, instantaneous current on a per station basis
• Automatic termination of station output and reporting of station status when
the preset maximum current is exceeded
• Automatic termination of station output and reporting of station status when
current stays below the pre-set minimum
• Review of station status reports via the Warning/Alarm display
• Automatic current limit setup.
For a complete explanation on current monitoring,
please see Appendix C: Current Monitor.

FLOW MAX
FLOW MAX is software that allows the DX3 to intelligently share resources and
manage operations for satellites using a single point of connection. The shared
resources may include common pumps, master valves, and/or flow meters.
A FLOW MAX system is comprised of a number of DX3 controllers (typically 3 to 5)
with the first controller set up as the submaster. The remaining satellites are set up as
slaves.
FLOW MAX provides a means to detect station flow limits and main line breaks
within design and programming parameters. All controllers participating within
a FLOW MAX system must be programmed as participants from each of their
respective control panels.
In order for flow volumetric totals to be tracked/logged at the controller and in
Laguna central software, the selection must be made under "Devices connected to this
Clock" for the flow sensor point of connection.
Please see Appendix D: Setting Up a FLOW MAX System for a complete
explanation on FLOW MAX and setting up a FLOW MAX system.
Station Count
It is possible to manually change the station count. The station count variable dictates
how many stations participate in the Learn Current/Flow events.

Chapter 6: Stations
Cycle & Soak
Cycle and Soak was developed as a method to ensure the soil absorbs as much of the
irrigation water as possible, minimizing water run-off.
Imagine the run time for station 2 is fifteen minutes. However, station 2 irrigates a
slope with a walkway at the bottom. If the station irrigates for fifteen minutes straight,
most of that water will simply run off the hill and onto the hardscape and be lost.
Cycle and Soak is a way to eliminate or drastically reduce that waste.
Cycle Time (Max) - This is how long the station will run in “chunks” towards
the overall run time. If station 2 run time is 15 minutes, then, according to the
settings above, station 2 will irrigate for 5 minute "chunks" until that run time is met.
Soak Time (Min) - Between those irrigation cycles is the soak time in which
no irrigation takes place. Water is allowed to absorb into the soil. After the specified
“soak” time, irrigation will resume for another Cycle Time or until the station run
time is met.
Soak time may be longer than the minimum time specified.
A DX3 will execute irrigation for other stations in a program during a soak
time, instead of waiting idle, in order to optimize a user’s water window.
Steps
1) to select the desired station. to set.
2) Turn on Cycle & Soak for that station by .
