The TBOS-II System received the 2014 EIA (European Irrigation Association) SilverAward for innovation.The TBOS-II has been designed and manufactured in France. Water saving and reduced labor input have been the main areas of development for the Rain Bird engineers. The TBOS-II Programming system has not changed drastically from its previous version: the same robust design integrating a controller and Radio Adaptor, fully waterproof to withstand harsh conditions (IP68 rating) and a field transmitter offering infrared and radio communication options. The TBOS-II now features advanced irrigation functions such as Seasonal Adjust (allowing monthly adjustment of irrigation) or Rain Delay. The TBOS-II Radio Adaptor and Field Transmitter are compatible with the first generation of TBOS controllers and allow for the use of new features on your old control modules.
This Award can be added to the Gold Award received in 2013 for the IQ V2.0 Central Control System. The IQ software allows for the management of all types of controllers: traditional?(ESPLXME), with Decoders?(ESPLXD)?and battery operated controllers (TBOS-II). Since 2015, all feature packs have been included as standard in the basic software: Advanced Programming, Advanced Communication, ET Management and Flow Sensing capability.
Global Weather is the latest innovation, available with the basic software. This new feature enables you to use weather data available on the internet to control irrigation. This is a simple and easy way to manage water consumption.
Moreover the new IC Technology has received the 2014 EIA Innovation Award for the Golf Category, offering a new economic alternative to the Satellite and Decoder Systems. This revolutionary irrigation management solution combines ease of use and cost reduction by building the controller into the rotor or valve solenoid. With real time management of each system component, it is what we call the Intelligent Use of Water.
