Toro control unit - Evolution

Description

The Toro Evolution controller is a unique controller for irrigation systems for private gardens and small commercial applications. The control unit is modularly expandable(4 to 16 stations) and has an intuitive menu system with the option of simple programming. The control unit can be linked to a Smart Connect plug-in receiver with accessories such as an ET-based weather sensor, floor sensor, etc.

The product benefits

Revolutionary user interface: The user interface of the Evolution control unit has been developed for easy operation by the customer. Shortcut buttons allow quick access to standard functions and the advanced menu utilizes the experience and knowledge of an irrigation specialist. All information is shown on a graphic display that is navigated in a similar way to many modern consumer electronics devices.

Simple upgrade to integrated Smart Control: An optional SmartConnect is integrated into the control element. This enables direct wireless communication with numerous additional devices, including a weather sensor, hand-held remote control and a maximum of three floor sensors.

Computer programmable with USB drive: Programming is done on the computer with the user-friendly software. The programming is transferred to other control units in seconds using a standard USB drive. The USB drive also enables control unit logging; an operating log is saved for diagnostic purposes.
