Baseline FlowStation, BL-FLOWSTN-P Installation Manual

BL-FLOWSTN-P FlowStation Module

Installation Guide

Introduction

Baseline’s FlowStation is available as an add-on
module that is installed inside a pedestal enclosure
with a BaseStation 3200 irrigation controller.

The FlowStation module comes with a 5-port
ruggedized Ethernet switch (BL-ETH-SW).

When the FlowStation is ordered with a BaseStation
3200 irrigation controller in a pedestal, the FlowStation
module is installed in the pedestal at the factory.

The following instructions describe the steps for
installing the add-on module into a pedestal that is
already in service.

Required Tools

You will need a Phillips head screwdriver.

Shutting Down Power to the Pedestal

1. On the BaseStation 3200, turn the dial to the Off
position.

2. Open the lower door on the pedestal and locate the
on/off key on the power box.

3. Remove the screw that fastens the key to the box.

IMPORTANT! Put the screw in a safe place because you

will need to replace it later.

4. Insert the key into the on/off switch and press it down
to turn the power off.

5. Remove the key and reattach it with the screw to
prevent it from being misplaced.

Ethernet Switch Mounting Instructions

1. Before proceeding, verify that the power is off. The LEDs on the BaseStation 3200 faceplate
should not be illuminated.

2. Move the Ethernet radio module out of the way:

 Remove the screws used to mount the Ethernet radio module to the back wall. You

may be able to move the Ethernet radio module toward the center of the pedestal
without disconnecting the power and antenna cables. If not, remove the power and
antenna cables, and then set the Ethernet radio module aside in a clean location.

3. On the inside left wall, remove the nuts on the lower edge of the external antenna assembly,
and then remove the screws. Set the nuts aside to be
reused later.

4. Align the holes on the Ethernet switch mounting plate with
the holes on the inside wall of the pedestal.

Note: The photo on the right shows a cell modem
module on the mounting plate with the Ethernet
switch. The cell modem module may not be present in
your configuration.

5. Locate the 2 long screws that were provided
with the Ethernet switch. Working from the
outside of the pedestal, push the screws
through the holes on the pedestal wall and
through the holes on the Ethernet switch
mounting plate.

6. Thread the nuts onto the screws and tighten
them.

7. Replace the Ethernet radio module and
reconnect the power and antenna cables if
necessary.

8. Continue with the Power Connector
instructions on the next page.
