Toro Micro-Master® 5000 Series Controllers
The Micro Master 5000 Series Controller is a centrally located computerised control system providing for exact water management at the touch of a button.
Stand alone operation, pedestal or wall mounted field controllers, networked from a centrally located computer, or operated independently of the central computer if required
10 grouping and 32 single station programmes with concurrent operation capability
10 valves per group capacity
With central control installation the MM5000 has the ability to auto-schedule and flow manage irrigation based on ET and the agronomic data for each valve output
The computer software has the capacity to operate up to 999 individual controllers if required
Communication is by either underground wiring or radio control
Software package ensures optimum use watering at all times. An in-built ‘flow manager’ avoids overloading the system
Stand-alone weather station (not supplied) can link to the software package
Software operates on any computer with full IBM compatibility (see computer specification on page 289) Controllers
Stainless steel wall mount or pedestal units
32 station
Grouping or single station programs 10 independent grouping programs of up to 10 standard valves per group and 40 groups per program

0-250% percentage global adjustment for fine tuning of programs
Up to 14 day programmable calendar with 9 daily cycle repeats per program
Up to 10 valves per group with a settable run time for manual spot watering
Internal communication check and set up function for field testing
Reports on solenoid current, flow testing, run times, and flow and pressure status (optional)
In-built ‘help’ facility
Programs are stored permanently
Battery back-up keeps accurate time in the event of a power failure
Password setting for field protection against unauthorised programming adjustments
