 PRECISION IRRIGATION SOLUTIONS
Toro Tempus® Air is a centralized system to control
hydraulic irrigation valves and monitor a wide set of
field parameters for an even more precise and efficient
irrigation scheduling.
Based on LoRa™ technology, Tempus® Air system
allows to remotely control valves via smartphone,
tablet or PC.
In the field, direct access to Gateway/Modules can be
done via Bluetooth® for quick manual operations.

MAIN FEATURES
Scalable: add field modules to expand the
number of irrigation sectors or for a more
precise monitoring of field parameters.

Easy to install: all the modules are

battery powered, no need for wiring.

Easy to use: user-friendly mobile App and

web platform

Toro reserves the right to change the product specifications without prior notice and without incurring any penalties.
