The Turf Guard System communicates with the buried soil sensors via a network of above ground repeaters that

are installed on the irrigation satellite pedestals that are already on the course.

Proper repeater location is critical to the success of the Turf Guard system. It is recommended that a repeater is

located within 500' (152.4m) (line of sight) of all buried sensors. Generally, this means that a repeater will be

installed on the nearest pedestal to each green. Depending on conditions, the range can exceed 500' (152.4m).

There are three types of repeater installation; Internal Repeater for Network VP, Internal Repeater for Non

network VP and External Repeater. Repeater installation may require a Turf Guard power supply, part number

TG PS, for power integration.

The Internal Repeater is currently set up for use with Toro Network VP, Network LTC Plus and E OSMAC

plastic pedestal satellites only. All other satellite models will utilize the external repeater.

Install the repeaters in the pedestal locations identified by the superintendent. Make sure to record the repeater

ID and location in the installation log.

IMPORTANT: With all installation types, always shut off the power to the satellites before initiating your

installation.
