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 3-port
ruggedized Ethernet switch (BL-ETH-SW).

When the FlowStation is ordered with a BaseStation
3200 irrigation controller in a pedestal, the Flowstation
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.
