Find A Toro Golf Turf Guard Sensor, Mount, Power Supply or Wireless Base Station

The Turf Guard wireless monitoring system by Toro gives you the essential information you need about your soil conditions, whenever you need it! The Turf Guard sensor instantly tracks soil moisture or salt buildup and schedules flushing, no matter where you are!
Concerned about wires between the external or internal repeaters or between the sensor and probe? There aren’t any, so the device installs anywhere without trenching or pulling wires. What’s more, repeaters mount easily inside all Toro Network VP, Network LTC Plus and E-OSMAC satellite pedestals.
It’s a win-win! You get the information you need to make important decisions in real time, from soil moisture, salinity, and temperature, and your golf course client doesn’t have to disrupt play or tear up their grounds.

Now let’s take a closer look at how the system works, along with its features and benefits for golf irrigation specialists:

How it works

• Three to five sensors are buried in each green at critical root zone levels.
• Additional sensors are buried in fairways, tee boxes and planters.
• Above-ground relays are installed on or in existing irrigation pedestals.
• Wireless MESH networking links all sensors to the central control system.
• Moisture, temperature and salinity readings are displayed in real-time.

Benefits

• Instantly tracks soil moisture levels and adjusts irrigation without risking turf quality.
• Stops overwatering, which promotes root growth.
• Detects dry areas before turf health suffers.
• Tracks salt buildup and schedules flushings before it’s too late.
• Provides positive confirmation that a flushing has reduced soil salts. Know when and how much water to flush with.

Features

• Two distinct depths in the soil profile – one at critical root zone level and a second one, five inches lower. Independent measurements are given from each depth.
• MESH routing technology offers complete coverage over difficult topography — even in remote canyon courses; lack of wires between the repeaters and between the probe and sensors give you the freedom to install this wireless system anywhere.
• Turf Guard repeater mounts in most Toro irrigation satellite pedestals. An external repeater is available for other models, including non-Toro pedestals.
• Supports up to 500 sensors per course.
• Sensor reading sent every 5 minutes.
• Automatic network configuration and failure recovery.
• Plots trends and compares historical and current readings.
• Lynx® Control System integration
