TBOS™
Rainbird TBOS Battery Operated Field Transmitter Only
TBOS batter-operated controller system description:
The TBOS battery-operated line of buriable controllers allows the use of automatic irrigation in the absence of AC power. TBOS is easy to program, vandal-resistant, and reliable. With a host of flexible features, the TBOS will meet all of your irrigation needs with only a 9V alkaline battery.
Features and Benefits:
- Ideal for commercial applications, including municipal parks, street and highway landscape projects and construction projects.
- Convenient temporary option for providing uninterrupted irrigation while repairs are made to an AC-powered system.
- 365-day calendar (adjusts for leap year).
- AM/PM or 24-hour display.
- Basic programming (standard mode) includes 3 independent programs, each with 8 start times per day. Run time is from 1 minute to 12 hours in 1-minute increments on a 7-day calendar.
- Additional cycles (turbo mode) include even, odd, odd-31 and 1-6 day program cycles for maximum flexibility.
- The low battery indicator warns of failing batteries in the TBOS field transmitter or TBOS control module.
- Independent station operation allows simultaneous start times or sequential start times based on system hydraulic capacity.
- The TBOS field transmitter has a large Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), with self-explanatory function icons. Each function is indicated by an easy-to-understand symbol.
- The 7-key keypad is equipped with a 'beep' sound to confirm that a key has been pressed for fast and sure programming.
- One TBOS field transmitter programs an unlimited number of TBOS and UNIK Control Modules
- Fully backward compatible - operates in standard mode with all components of Rain Bird's UNIK controller line.
- The field transmitter and control module have external optical connectors for easy plug-in.
- It is possible to transmit information even if the module is under water.
- The TBOS potted latching solenoid will mount on all Rain Bird valves in the DV, DVF, ASVF, PGA, PEB, PESB, GB, EFB-CP, BPE and BPES series.
- The TBOS solenoid adapters will adapt the potted latching solenoid for use in retrofit applications with selected Irritrol® (Hardie/Richdel) and Buckner® valves or Champion® and Superior® valve actuators.
