Satellite

Applications
In recent years we have seen an ever growing process of
automation of irrigation systems: The complexity of these
systems, at first expertly handled by the farmers, often
generated problems difficult for conventional control units to
solve. The Toro AG Satellite control unit was designed
specifically to meet these requirements.
Completeness, flexibility and easy programming underlines
this project.
Completeness: 30 independent programs (including in
cyclic mode), 10 irrigation start times per program, timed
and volumetric contral, filter backwashing contrai, sensor
contrai, possibility of programming and remote contral via
mobile phone or PC ali this in one single contral unit!
Flexibility: farm and residential irrigation systems are not
easy to standardise and hence a flexible control instrument
able to adapt to the individual system requirements is
needed. Satellite is a modular control unit both in terms of
number of stations (from 16 to 96) and in terms of
performance - the basic principle is similar to a fullydeveloped
programmer to which you can add sensors and
remote controls whenever you like.
Easy programming: despite all the functions and the
expansion possibilities, Satellite remains an easy-toprogram
control unit by means of a practical dial and only
5 buttons.

Features
16 or 8 stations plus 8 for the backflush upgradeable until 96 stations (using a slave after 32 st.) with 8 station expanding module
Permanent memory
30 independent program, with the possibility to choose for every program:
- if activate it or not
- if program it in minutes/second or hours/minute
- delay beetwen stations
- odd or even days calendar starts or sensor depending
- the programm looping
- if 1 master valve and 1 pump start may run with delay
or not
- if is setted in electronic or electromecanic modality
- if sensors should be activated or not
10 starts per program
Possibility to create programs looping in numeric mode (up to 99 ripetitions for the same program) or timing mode (fixing the loop beetwen the programs)
14 day calendar
It works with 24 AC; DC 12V, DC 24V, or latching solenoids 12 or 24V (groups of 8)
It controls 1 master valve and 1 pump start ( per program)
Possibility to choose electronic or electromecanic working modality
Water budget from 5% up to 250%
Manual starting per program or station
Rain off (until 13 days)
possibility to have 7 inlet sensors (luxometer, anamometer, rain sensor, humidity sensor, flow sensor, termometer) and set their start delay operation
It works with AC or DC power
Filter backflush parameters:
- backflush time in minutes/second
- delay between stations in minutes/second
- interval between two complete backflush cycles in
minutes or hours (its possible to menage this parameter
with differential manometer )
- how to set pressure sustaining valve; it can count the
numbers of backflush in last 24h storing time and date
from last pressure differential operation
Easy programming
