Sentinel® Central Control

Central Control

Sentinel Central Control from Toro® is a powerful system that
literally “stands guard” over large irrigation sites. With the

ability to control up to 999 field satellites from one location,
users have a water management tool that provides reliability,
accuracy and water savings.

Features & Benefits

Simple To Use

Microsoft® Windows-based software – daily operations and
scheduling are made quick and easy.

Features For Water Management

ET-based watering, flow sensing and optimization, water usage
report with historical comparison.

iPhone® and iPad® Connectivity

Turf
Guard®
Option

ET Adjust

Smartphone and Tablet Connectivity

The new Sentinel WMS software package also includes iPhone®
and iPad® connectivity for remote programming and alerts on ALL
new systems.

Multiple Communication Options

Communication options like radio, telephone, fiber
optics cellular, and Ethernet can be mixed and matched to meet
system requirements.

Distributed Programming

Stores irrigation programs in the computer while
allowing irrigation control at the satellite level,
ensuring the loss of a component does not result in
the loss of irrigation across the system.

Toro NSN® Support

All centrals come with a minimum of two years of NSN support –
unlimited 24-hour toll-free support with 24/7/365
emergency paging

Three Choices Of Central Packages

1) Software only; 2) Software and radio communication interface;

3) Central computer, software and radio communication interface.

Sentinel® Central Control

Toro® Sentinel field satellites are commercial
grade, modular units that do the irrigation

control work in the field, designed to operate
in both stand-alone and central mode.

NEW!

The newly-redesigned satellite controller offers a number of new
features and enhancements, including a completely-redesigned
interface for easier standalone programming that incorporates
a large backlit graphical display, new shortcut buttons for
frequently-used functions, as well as a number of other additions.

Features & Benefits

Flow Sensing

Reads, displays and reacts to under and over flow
situations and track water usage. No additional circuit
boards are required.

Expanded Wireless Connectivity

Sentinel offers true two-way communication via several
different connectivity options that can be mixed and
matched to meet system requirements.

Firmware Updating

Firmware is now easier than ever to update or upgrade
by simply inserting a USB thumb drive.

Weather-Based Irrigation

Sentinel waters according to ET values by using one or
a number of onsite weather stations.

Advanced Troubleshooting

The new satellite controller has significantly more
internal memory, allowing for extensive event logging
and data storage, making it easier to diagnose issues in
the field.

Water Management Highlight

The new satellite controller can easily be upgraded to operate
with Turf Guard
directly with up to 16 sensors per controller (1 per program),
continually measuring moisture, temperature and salinity
levels in the soil, and adjusting irrigation as needed.
