SENTINEL® CENTRAL CONTROL PRODUCT GUIDE
Flexibility - Making Sentinel Work for You
The Toro Sentinel System has established itself in the marketplaces as one of the leaders in
wireless communication for central control systems. Sentinel allows the user to communicate to
up to 999 satellite controllers wirelessly, rather than forcing the customer to install lengthy wire
runs that tie field controllers together. Sentinel provides a variety of Central Computer to
Satellite communication options, so you can choose the one that best meets your site-specific
needs or mix-and-match across multiple sites including:
Radio Communications - Radio communication from the Central Computer to Sentinel
Satellites allows you to install Sentinel at sites with little or no disruption of existing landscapes
and is ideal for single-site installations. Sentinel can also utilize radio protocols to communicate
with MapTo Satellites, maximizing system capabilities.
Telephone Communications - When reliable communication to multiple geographically-remote
satellites is needed, standard telephone communications can meet your needs. Installation can be
accomplished anywhere a standard telephone line can be run to a Sentinel Satellite. A standard
internal or external phone modem is all that is required at the Central Computer, which
communicates to a commercial-grade modem in the Sentinel Satellite.
Cellular Communications - When remote-access benefits of telephone communications are
needed, but a phone line is not available at the Satellite location, cellular networks provide a
wireless communication option. By installing a cellular IP modem in the Sentinel Satellite, the
user can communicate wirelessly from anywhere in the world.
Ethernet Communications - In an increasingly “wired” world, Ethernet/Internet is one of the
fastest growing segments of central control communications. The simple combination of an IP
address at the computer and an Ethernet adapter in the field can allow for network access and
control of your Satellites.
Controller Options - Sentinel also provides the widest array of standard Satellite configurations s
in the industry, ensuring system installation meets the requirements of your site. Enclosure
options to choose from include:
•
•
•
•
Small Metal Wall Mount Cabinet
Stainless Steel Wall Mount Cabinet
Stainless Steel Pedestal
Plastic Pedestal
Also, many existing controllers, like the Irritrol MC can be upgraded with a Sentinel Retro-Link
to turn them into a Sentinel Satellite without needing to replace the controller. And, if the
standard product doesn’t meet your needs, our Eicon Division can custom build what you require,
from custom enclosures to non-standard station counts and communications methods, the options
are endless.
With communication and enclosure options, modular station counts in 12-station increments, and
sensing and flow monitoring inputs that do not require additional interface components, a
Sentinel system adapts to meet your specific requirements instead you adapting to the
capabilities of the system.
