RIVERSIDE, Calif. – Toro is excited to introduce the Lynx® Smart Satellite, an all-new golf course irrigation controller designed for enhanced performance and greater reliability.

The successor to the accomplished Toro® Network VP®, the Lynx Smart Satellite features a faster microprocessor and increased memory, offering golf course managers superior performance and ample capacity for fut¬ure enhancements. With fewer cables and connectors, corrosion-resistant metals, vented circuit board covers and simplified power distribution, the Lynx Smart Satellite also delivers improved reliability.

The Lynx Smart Satellite builds upon the proven Network VP platform with a number of smart new features, including:

  • Updated user interface. A larger backlit six-line display and familiar navigation make manual and diagnostic operations intuitive and productive.
  • Enhanced wireless communications. A new digital radio with an integrated modem delivers improved communication signal integrity, new diagnostic information, and more control options.
  • Sensor input kit compatibility. The controller’s ability to integrate with the new Sensor Input Kit enables local or Lynx central control system response to information from anywhere on the course.
  • New diagnostic tools. Through the use of LED indicators, the Smart Satellite clearly displays normal function and diagnostic information to assist with troubleshooting.
All the outstanding features of the Network VP are included in the Lynx Smart Satellite system, including station-based flow management, current sensing and alarm notification, and runtimes executed to the second. The new controller is fully compatible with Network VP and Network 8000 systems as an addition or replacement.

"The Lynx Smart Satellite takes irrigation efficiency to a new level," says Andy Strother, Toro product marketing manager for golf controllers. “With a powerful and reliable controller providing more and better information, combined with precise control options, golf course managers can make irrigation decisions that optimize their irrigation efficiency and course conditions.”
 

The Lynx Smart Satellite will be available spring 2017. For more information, contact the nearest Toro distributor or visit the Toro website for more information.
