Aurora® Decoder Controller
Aurora® Decoder Controller
  • The Aurora Decoder and Decoder Controller offers an affordable alternative to central-computer controlled golf course decoder systems
  • The controller is powerful enough to function as a stand-alone controller or as part of a satellite network without a central computer for unprecedented control and unparalleled value
  • Operates with a handheld remote control or as part of an Aurora Central Control System
High Performance
  • Increase flexibility and confidence with CE, CSA listed, wall mount/pedestal, modular controller.
  • Improve field aesthetics and reduce costs with buried in-field decoders
  • Protect against the elements with completely encapsulated electronic components
  • Effcient utilization of field wiring uses less than conventional satellite systems
  • Simple two-wire system can be spliced adding more stations during installation
  • User ID addressing system, permits custom numbering eliminating confusion associated with fixed-ID based addressing systems.
  • Operates as a stand-alone controller or as a central computer-controlled satellite
  • In-field control allows for maximum control, without the need for control panels or plug in devices
  • Central-to-satellite communications via hardware; telephone and radio
  • 128 independent programs per day allow calendar control of each station in any sequence, with multiple repeats and pauses
  • Water budgeting from 0-999%
  • Self-monitoring feature finds open and shorted circuits, activates alarms and shuts down automatically if necessary
  • Decoders operate single, dual and quad stations, allowing for one, two or, four solenoid operation
  • Pedestal accommodates 3x125 station modules
  • Wall mount accommodates 2x125 station modules
  • Superior protection from lightning for all modules
Easy to Use
  • Multilingual instructions
  • Powerful yet simple-to-use program setup
  • Bold LCD with step-by-step menus
Cost Effective
  • Simple installation requirements and the absence of protective enclosures keep the cost of installation and maintenance low
  • Conventional satellite controller installations generally use large quantities of field station wire
  • Decoders utilize a two-way wire-path connecting the decoders to solenoids
  • FCC-narrowband and digital compliant eliminates need for expensive upgrades
  • Remotes offer maximum in-the-field control without the expense of a central computer thus making decoder relatively inexpensive to maintain and operate
