Introduction
The Toro Lynx Smart Satellite combines modular flexibility, ease of use and increased programmability in a single
controller.
Modularity means flexibility. The Lynx Smart Satellite is available from 16 to 64 stations, and can expand in 16-station
increments to meet your needs. Station switch capability and optional surge protection provide simple operation and
added security.
The intuitive Lynx Smart Satellite user interface is easy to use and includes a backlight for improved visibility in
low-light conditions, yet it is completely viewable in direct sunlight. The faceplate’s combination of menu keys,
navigation arrows and input dial allows for easy menu navigation as well as establishing settings quickly.
With 64 irrigation programs, the Lynx Smart Satellite allows programming to the station level. Discrete local and
central modes make stand-alone and central controlled operations independent from one another, while the ability to
run up to 32 stations simultaneously lets you deliver more water, quicker than ever before.
Modes of Operation
The Lynx Smart Satellite can be placed in three operating modes: Central mode, Local mode and Off mode. In all
three modes, the satellite will accept communications from Lynx or SitePro Central Controller. Select the mode of
operation by pressing the Satellite Settings
and selecting Comm Mode. Select from the three modes using
the Input Dial
.
Central Mode - When placed in Central Mode, the satellite will allow Lynx or SitePro Central Controller to
download irrigation programs, edit time and date and modify the satellite’s operation mode. If communication
between central and satellite is interrupted for more than one hour, the Central Mode LED indicator will start
flashing until communication is reestablished.
Local Mode - When placed in Local mode, the satellite will execute previously downloaded or locally configured
irrigation programs. In this mode, the satellite will allow the central to edit time, date and operation mode but will
not allow modification of settings affecting irrigation programs.
Off Mode - When placed in Off mode, the satellite will not execute any watering operation whether it is
programmed or manually initiated. Any watering operation will terminate once the satellite is placed in Off mode.
Watering operations will resume once the satellite is placed back to Central or Local mode. In this mode, the
satellite will allow the central to edit time, date and operation mode but will not allow modification of settings
affecting irrigation programs.
General Editing
Pressing a menu key on the Lynx Smart Satellite will display menu items. Items with fields containing values
that can be edited are referred to as entry fields. Use the arrow keys
to navigate through
the menus and entry fields. Modify any selected value by scrolling through the selection using the Input Dial
. Values will be saved automatically when you exit an entry field or press another menu key. Pressing
HOME
will also save any modification and revert back to home display.
Additionally, if no keypad activity is detected within five minutes, the satellite will automatically save any
modifications and revert back to Home display.
