TBOS

Field Transmitter

Welcome to Rain Bird

The TBOS

Field Transmitter, part of the TBOS

irrigation system family, allows you to create,
transmit and retrieve irrigation programming
information when used with the TBOS or
UNIK

Control Module.

The Field Transmitter features include:

• One minute to 12 hour irrigation run times per

station in one minute increments

• Three independent programs: A, B, C

• Up to eight start times per program per day

• 365-day calendar (adjusts for leap year)

• Standard mode: 7-day (custom) cycle; any day

can be set ON or OFF as a watering day

• Turbo mode: includes 7-day (custom) cycle plus

the following cycles:

• Even day, odd day or odd-with-31st-of-the-

month-off cycles (adjusts for leap year)

• 1 through 6 day cycles, water one of every one 

to six days

• Manual irrigation start or stop capacity 

• Low battery icon indicates when a new battery is

needed in the TBOS Field Transmitter or TBOS
Control Modules

• Ability to program an unlimited number of UNIK

and TBOS Control Modules with one Field
Transmitter 

• Automatic reset of current time and day when

transmitting a program to a Control Module 

Operating principle

Above parameters are transmitted 
to the module.

The above parameters are received 
by the transmitter.

NOTE:

The transmitter does not receive the current

time from the module: there may be a difference in the
current time between the transmitter and the module. It
is therefore advisable to retransmit the program to the
module to synchronize the current time in the module
with your transmitter.
