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.
