“ Having spent 22 years in course construction and maintenance, I have been a part of many new irrigation
systems. And now as a co-owner and superintendent, I had a lot at stake to install a quality product. The
support I’ve received from my John Deere distributor and the company itself in bringing my Aurora system
online has more than lived up to my expectations. I feel better about my decision every day!”
John Roth, Owner and Golf Course Superintendent • Paradise Valley Country Club • Casper, Wyoming
Aurora eliminates interference from
analog noise by employing a digital
communication protocol which transmits
packetized encrypted data.

June 2007, Wilmington Country Club, Delaware:
A direct lightning strike causes $15,000 in landscape
damage, completely exploding a mature oak
tree only 60 feet from an Aurora controller. The
damage to the controller: only minor component
replacements, and absolutely no burn out of
neighboring controllers. Superintendent Dan
Pierson, CGCS, explains, “I’ve experienced similar
powerful strikes like this with other systems and
they’ve knocked out 3 or 4 controllers all at once.
But Aurora’s lightning suppression system and
wireless operation worked as promised. I’m very,
very pleased we made the change.”
No wonder every Aurora Field Controller
comes standard with 24-volt and 110-volt
lightning protection.
