Sentinel
Central Control
SENTINEL™ CENTRAL CONTROL
“You can run it off of a laptop computer. I could be in the Bahamas, plug into the internet and pull it up.
I can make sure everything is running, or correct issues or send out reprogramming features - the whole
nine yards.”
- Ann Maner, Exterior Grounds Supervisor, Galord Texan Resort
“The reason we save 15-20% on water costs is because of the innovative technology Sentinel provides.
With Sentinel we have the ability to effi ciently water our grounds, saving us a total of $77,000 a year
on water costs. Sentinel is an invaluable tool that I could not do my job without.”
- Russ Ayers, Shoreline School District, Seattle, Washington
“Our original central control system was hard wired. We had literally miles of wires running from our shop
where the computer was located out to these controllers at different points in the fi eld. Our community was
growing rapidly with new construction work coming in-pipelines, water lines, phone lines, electric lines-so
our wires were constantly being dug up and broken. Finally we said, ‘let’s go with radio control’ and Toro
came in and made it work”
- Rick Schultz, Highlands Ranch Parks, Colorado

Key Benefi ts of the Sentinel Central Control
™
WATER SAVINGS
A HEALTHIER LANDSCAPE
Effective evapotranspiration (ET) based system management
can lead to water savings of 25% to 30% per year. Depending
on current management practices, water savings may be
greater, or in the case of extremely well managed stand
alone systems, somewhat lower. As an additional source of
savings, pipeline breaks, malfunctioning valves, and missing
heads are automatically detected and shut down, preventing
excessive water loss.
A central control system helps ensure that your landscape
receives the right amount of water for existing conditions.
Good irrigation management can reduce fertilizer leaching
and run-off, and good plant health will reduce pest
infestations and disease.
SIMPLICITY
Installing and setting up irrigation control over an entire system
from a central computer is simple with Sentinel Central Control
Software as 90% of all operations are executed in one screen.
With a simple click, navigation to screens such as manual water-
ing, rain shutdowns, hydraulic fl ow simulation graphs, and
extensive troubleshooting and feedback from the satellites in the
fi eld can be accomplished. All data in the system is stored at both
the computer and the satellites so in the event of a power outage
at the computer, the satellites will still irrigate according to their
previous watering schedule.
GAS AND VEHICLE WEAR SAVINGS
The user no longer needs to visit each control site, to make
program changes or check for system component malfunctions.
Programming functions and system information are all available
in the central control computer.
Engineered to the highest quality and reliability,
yet simple to use, the Sentinel Central Control
System is ideal for controlling multiple
irrigation sites with diverse landscapes and
multiple watering requirements.
REDUCED LABOR COSTS
By regulating all irrigation functions from a single PC, the user
no longer needs to make program adjustments at each
controller. System checks are handled quickly, by one person,
using radio remote control. Labor time savings created by
the central control system, can be benefi cially reallocated
to complete additional tasks within the management area.
NON-IRRIGATION SYSTEM CONTROLS
Lighting, fountains, security gates, pumps, and other non-irrigation
functions may also be controlled by the central control system.
FLEXIBILITY
The Sentinel Central Control System provides the utmost in fl exibility for
designers, contractors, and end users. Sentinel Field Satellites are built with
modular station counts ranging from 12 to 48 stations which allow the end user
to expand in 12 station increments without having to purchase a new controller.
Also, the fi eld satellites can be built in a variety of wall or pedestal-mounted
enclosures in order to best meet various site applications needs.

CONVENIENCE
The Sentinel System is shipped from the factory with the ability to read and react to fl ow sensors. It is also
handheld remote ready, which means the customer doesn’t have to purchase any add-ons for the Sentinel remote
(SHHR) to function with the system. In addition, the system is compatible with a variety of weather-sensing
devices such as Weather Stations and Rain Sensors which allow the user to control watering more precisely.
