Features

Flo-Watch™️: This functionality in the ESP-ME3 Controller uses information from the FG100 to learn the flow, and monitor for low or excessive flow conditions caused by broken lines or heads—saving water, protecting plants and preventing property flooding.
Winter ready: Designed to withstand high-burst pressure blowouts. Does not need to be removed during winter months.
No specialty PE-cableEasily install the FG100 with a standard 18g irrigation wire.
Threaded or slip unions: Threaded or slip unions allow for faster installation and easy maintenance.
Rain Bird App: Pair the FG100 with the ESP-ME3 Controller to check system health from anywhere, and control advanced flow settings via the Rain Bird Mobile App. Available for iPhone and Android.

    Ultrasonic Flow Sensor Benefits
    No straight-pipe requirement!  Place immediately after a bend or valve, even in the same valve box  (Jumbo size valve box recommended for easiest fit)
    Read very low and high flow, all in one sensor
    No moving parts for greater reliability and allowing blowout for winterization with the sensor installed
    Pressure rated to 200 PSI and an operating temperature of 32 - 150 degrees Fahrenheit
    On-board LED Lights indicating power, full pipe status, relative forward flow rate, and reverse flow
    Simple setup at the controller with a standard K and Offset value for wide compatibility
    Flow Sensors Enable Key LX Series Controller Features
    Flo-Watch™. Flo-Watch constantly monitors for low flow and excess flow conditions caused by broken lines or heads, automatically quarantines and shuts down the problem area, and continues to irrigate non-affected areas. Saves water, saves plant material, and enables irrigation programs to continue and complete
    Learned Flow. The controller automatically learns station flow rates resulting in more accurate flow rates. The automatic collection prevents you from having to manually enter data from drawings, or physically visiting each valve to collect flow data and manually entering the data into a controller
    FloManager®. FloManager determines the optimal station irrigating sequence. The system runs at its fullest capacity until programs are complete. The controller automatically selects and runs multiple valves at the same time within hydraulic parameters, allowing for shorter water windows
    Using With Transmitters and Pulse Decoders
    Programmable from a computer (PT322 and PT5002 – Maxicom and SiteControl Systems only – not required for ESP-LXMEF or ESP-LXD)
    Reliable solid-state design, available with or without LCD display (PT322 only)
    Operates with MAXILink,™ and (hard-wire) two-wire satellite systems
    Easy-to-program, menu-driven design
    Mounted in optional NEMA enclosure (PT5002 only)

    Installs faster with one-person
    Rain Bird designed the WR2 so that one person can install it quickly and easily. Signal strength is displayed on both the sensor unit and the controller interface. The sensor's innovative versatile mounting bracket quickly attaches securely to a gutter or any vertical surface, such as a fence or wall
    Easier to use and program
    Programming the WR2 is simplified for fast set-up. In just a few seconds, you can select set points, program the irrigation modes and save your default. On the controller interface, all settings are displayed on the easy-to-read LCD screen, so you can see signal strength, rain and temperature set points, battery life and more at a glance. Unlike other rain sensors, the WR2 has a long-lasting battery that's quick and easy to replace
    Superior signal reliability
    Signal strength is displayed on the controller interface using familiar cell phone icons. Dual antennas safeguard the system from signal interference by radios, mobile phones, power lines, etc. The WR2 system overcomes most line-of-sight obstructions so you have freedom in locating the sensor. Weather data is updated every 45 seconds to ensure the most reliable communication between sensor and controller
