TORO TDC Series Decoder System
TORO TDC Series Decoder System


The TDC (Turf Decoder Controller) system provides a durable, cost-effective alternative to traditionally wired irrigation control systems. Using a 2-wire path to communicate to buried decoders, the TDC is vandal-resistant, easy-to-install and easy to expand.

Specifying and subsequent installation of the TDC Series is simple due to the nature of its low power operating requirements

Use 2.5mm2 Toro Decoder Cable and rest assured that the system will achieve the maximum specifications without having to do any voltage drop calculations.

TDC’s simple, intuitive and easy-to-use user interface makes it a breeze to control up to 200 stations

Operate up to 20 simultaneous stations, including remote pumps and master valves, up to 4.5km from the controller.

Save installation costs on wire when compared to traditional large control systems by using two wire cable(s) from the controller
