  C – USING THE FIELD TRANSMITTER via INFRARED (I.R.) CONNECTION

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,

- 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 the deletion of the programs contained in any TBOS™ 

module (deletion of one or all programs, TBOS™ module reset).

  Press the OK key, select “TBOS IR infrared“ by means

read the program data contained in your TBOS™ 

field transmitter. 

The reading of program data can 

take between 2 and 12 seconds according to the 

TBOS™ module version (old or new). 

 The first infrared welcome screen indicates the  

status of the various external items (TBOS™ module 

sensor or battery), ON/OFF state, of the Water budget  

or the watering operation in progress (TBOS-II™ only).

  Before configuring the functions, connect the infrared cord supplied with your product.
