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.
Temperature 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.
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.

Max
: Maximum pressure permitted for operation.
Unit

pounds per square inch (psi) or bar.
Alarm
: Select either a high limit alarm (Hi) or a low limit
alarm (Lo). In the
Set
: field, it is possible to turn the Hi or
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.
