Quick Links

The Sensor Input Kit receives sensor data from status, flow, temperature, rain buckets, and
pressure sensors, then relays that data to the Lynx computer. There, it can be used to monitor
conditions and automatically respond to user-defined alarms.
Sensor data is stored in the VP satellite for 12 hours and transmitted back to Lynx
every 2 hours.
Current sensor information and alarm status can be viewed in the VP faceplate.
Central-based or stand-alone alarm responses can be configured for any sensor input.

    Lynx Smart Satellite Sensor Kit. Check your satellite’s firmware: 1. Press the Diagnostic button. 2. Turn the Command dial to Revision. 3. Check Revision number. If firmware revision is less than 2.0, see your Toro distributor for a firmware update.
  • Page 8: Configuring Sensors

    Sensor Configuration - Lynx ® 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.
  • Page 9 Reviewing Sensor Data Figure 4 It is possible to review sensor information in realtime or historically. Realtime: Click Utilities then Sensor Dashboard. Select the Sensor Input Board to monitor. You will see a screen similar to Figure 4, though the number and type of sensors might be different, as well as the ranges for the sensors.
