TBOS-II™ field transmitter initial settings - First use of the field transmitter
As soon as it is switched on for the first time, the TBOS-II™ field transmitter asks you to choose from the following:
The main screen is then displayed, showing the date, time, battery charge level and the name of the
field transmitter
(the name can be changed).
Activation/Standby of the TBOS-II™ field transmitter
Activate the field transmitter by holding down the Home key for 3 seconds.
Standby mode is automatic. Backlight time can be set from 10 to 30 seconds – Press OK / Settings / Backlight
time-out and set the time required using the + and - keys.
TBOS-II Program Templates Menu
Turn on the Field Transmitter by pressing for 3 seconds.
Press OK to go to main menu.
From the Templates (TBOS-II) menu you can access to all programming functions of the Field Transmitter offline, without
being connected to Control Module.
You have the ability to build a template program
(irrigation schedule, start times, run times, seasonal adjustment, etc…)
and-
save it in one of the three Field Transmitter memory locations in order to transmit it later onto in-fieldto a TBOS-II™ Control
Module
(via radio or infra-red).
From the main screen, only TBOS-II Templates are accessible. You can use them to program through infra-red communication a TBOS-
II Control Module or through radio communication a TBOS-II Radio Adaptor (installed on TBOS™ or TBOS-II™ Control Module).
For a 1st generation TBOS Control Module programmed thru infra-red, program templates are accessible only when you are mecha-
nically connected to the Control Module, just after the programming functions.
