John Deere Golf Irrigation Aurora™ Control Series JOHN DEERE GOLF IRRIGATION AURORA CONTROL SERIES Reduces water usage up to 25%. And that’s not even counting the sweat it saves. Which would you rather have? A: An irrigation system that takes a long time to adjust to changed conditions, and isn’t as precise as it could be in its application rates. B: A system which automatically senses and instantly adjusts for even the slightest on-the-ground changes, plus allows to-the-second application rates? And what if we told you option B was easy to install and use, could be upgraded in less than five minutes — and didn’t necessarily require the most costly component of most systems, the “central” computer? This isn’t just a theoretical question. Option B is no pipe dream: It’s the John Deere Aurora™ Control System. Smarter, simpler, and exceptionally reliable, it’s the answer for all your irrigation needs. Extraordinary water savings 180° rotation time (per head) 1:30 minutes 1:30 minutes 25 GPM 25 GPM Flow (per head) Controller setting 2:00 minutes 1:30 minutes Water used per head 50 gallons 37.5 gallons 40,000 gallons 30,000 gallons Water used multiplied by 800 heads Aurora savings per application 10,000 gallons Conventional Aurora The secret to Aurora’s water conservation: To-the-second programming. In the example below, a conventional to-the-minute system must run for two minutes to ensure head rotates 180°, where the Aurora system can run exactly the time needed, 1:30—saving a full 30 seconds of water per head per application. If the system in the above example runs 200 times in a year, it adds up to 2 million gallons saved. JOHN DEERE GOLF IRRIGATION AURORA CONTROL SERIES This team performs with magnificent economy. Even without a star center. Hole 5 Panel 1 The days of requiring a central computer to call all the shots for your course are over. All field controllers of the Aurora system are capable of not only managing their own rotors and valves on the same communications network, but also every other controller’s rotors and valves. That’s important so we’ll say it again: Every field controller in the Aurora network can act as an overall controller. Of course, if you want to add a central computer for your office, it’s easy to do: you can link one in by cellular, hardwire, Internet, VHF, DSS, or UHF communication. Besides offering a simple-tooperate interface, and on-screen landscape and irrigation plans, this commanding central option also enables flow control. The ultimate in flow control: Aurora Professional Central Software. Windows®-based software adds desktop efficiency and the ability to monitor flow in real time for automatic adjustment of the irrigation schedule. And an envirodatabase determines the most efficient irrigation schedule by monitoring its effect on the landscape. Flexible programming means you won’t waste a drop. Field controllers can be custom programmed, without a central, to run any station, in any order, with multiple start times, in cycle and soak modes and water budgeting from 0 all the way to 999%. With the addition of an interface unit, the Aurora system can rely on what’s called peer-to-peer networking, where every station on the network has equal access to information. It’s the same organization scheme that governs the Internet. Hole 12Hole 9 The ultimate in flow control: Aurora Professional Central Software.

Hole 12Hole 9 JOHN DEERE GOLF IRRIGATION AURORA CONTROL SERIES Imagine having sensors embedded at each hole actually measuring and sending real-time updates for the controller to act on. Or being able to make adjustments to your irrigation settings from any web-enabled platform (from a PC back in the office, to your home PC, to a Windows Mobile® SmartPhone or PDA)? Or perhaps just being able to use a maintenance radio to change settings, without having to invest in costly upgrades to your controllers? The Aurora system can do all this, and more. Give each hole individual climate control. Spend less time cooped up in the office. ET Sensor Environmental sensors such as subsurface moisture, oxygen, methane and temperature levels, flow, rainfall, wind speed and ET, etc. connected to any single or array of field controllers can be embedded righ...
