Preamble

RAINBIRDthanksyouforhavingpurchasedaTBOS‐II™seriesfieldtransmitter.
ThisnewtransmitterisuniversalandiscompatiblewiththeentireTBOS™range(oldandnew
generation).
AddingaTBOS‐II™RadioAdaptorenhancestheprogrammingoftheoldgenerationTBOS™modules.
Oncetheprogramdatahasbeenenteredintothefieldtransmitter,itcouldbesentintotheControl
Modulesinoneoftwoways:

•Viaaninfraredconnection,usingthe
cordsuppliedwiththetransmitter.




•Viaaradioconnection,usingthe
TBOS‐II™RadioAdaptorpluggedonto
theControlModule.



ThenewFieldTransmitteralsoincludesnewfeaturesthatwillprovideadditionalbenefitsforthe
managementofyourTBOS™and/orTBOS‐II™ControlModules.

C. UsingtheFieldTransmitterviaInfraRedConnection(IR)

Thefieldtransmitterisabletocommunicateviainfraredwithalltypesofoldornewgeneration
TBOS™controlmodules.Certainexclusivefunctionsareonlyaccessiblewhenthefieldtransmitteris
connectedtoaTBOS‐II™IRcontrolmodule,i.e.:
‐Waterbudget,
‐Assignmentofastationtoseveralprograms,eachwithadifferenttime,
‐Stationtest,
‐1to31daycyclicalirrigationschedules(1to6daysfortheTBOSmodel),
‐CustomisationofTBOS‐IImoduleanditsstationsnames,
‐Savingofprograminthecontrolmodule

Thefieldtransmittercanalsoaddthe"RainDelay"functiontoallTBOS™controlmodules.Ithas6
memorystorageareasthatcanstore6differentprograms:3arededicatedtooldmodelTBOS™
modulesandthe3otherstotheTBOS‐II™modules.Italsoallowstocancelallorindividualprograms
containedinanyTBOS™module(TBOS™modulereset).

1. ProgrammingTBOSIITMFieldTransmitter
