Flow / Rain Bucket / Status
(Normally Open / Normally
Closed) Sensor
Secure the flow / rain bucket / status sensor’s
black lead to screw IN 2 (or any terminal
input thru IN 6) and red or white lead to
terminal input 12V (see illustration)
.
DO NOT ATTACH A LEAD TO
THE G (ground) TERMINAL.
That will short the power to
the controller.
Sensor
A
temperature sensor
must be connected to
the Temperature Probe Connection port. See
Sensor Input Board Overview
on page 1 for port location.
The Toro temperature sensor will be available in late 2017.
Sensor Configuration - Local Mode
Procedure
1. Return power to the controller.
2. The controller can automatically tell if a pressure sensor
and/or a temperature sensor is installed. For flow,
rain, and status sensors, however, we need to tell the
controller what kind of sensor has been installed on
that terminal.
3. Press the
Station Settings
button.
counter-clockwise to quickly get to the
Sensor Setup Menu
.
4. Use the arrow keys to navigate to

Alarm
: Select either a high limit alarm (Hi) and/or a low
limit alarm (Lo). In the
Set
: field, it is possible to turn the
Hi and Lo alarm On of Off.
QTime
: Qualification time. How long does the alarm
condition (max pressure exceeded, for example) have to stay
in that condition for the alarm to be triggered.
RTime
: Reset time. Clears the alarm automactially if alarm
condition no longer exists for that period of time.

Sensor configuration can either be done at the satellite in Local Mode or at a Central computer
running Lynx. If communication is established between a satellite and a Lynx system, the Lynx
system
will overwrite all locally defined sensor configuration information
. Meaning, if operating a
Lynx system, the sensors must be configured with Lynx.
