INTRODUCTION
RAIN BIRD thanks you for having purchased a TBOS-II™ series eld transmitter.
This new transmitter is universal and is compatible with the entire TBOS™ range (old and new generation).
Adding a radio interface unit enhances the programming of the old generation TBOS™ modules.
Once the program data has been entered into the eld transmitter, it could be sent 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
that attaches to the control module.
This dual radio/Infrared communication option allows
continued transmission in the event of disruption to the
radio system (bad weather, low batteries in the radio module,
etc...)
The new programming module also includes new features
that will provide additional benets for the management of
your TBOS™ and/or TBOS-II™ modules.
