H - Tbos Radio Network Building; Radio Range Increase Between Field Transmitter And Radio Adaptor Tbos-Ii - Rain Bird TBOS Serie Manuel D'utilisation

Leakage
TBOS-II measures the flow when irrigation is closed.
TBOS-II checks every hour that consumption does not reach threshold set up by user. If water consumption is over
the threshold during the previous hour, an over flow alert is sent and prevent irrigation until the alert clearance by the user.
Excessive Consomption (SEEF)
The user can set up a threshold above which the flow will be consider as excessive and then not normal. This thres-
hold is displayed as a percentage of the normal flow.
Ex: 130% indicates that the recoded flow is 30% more than flow in normal conditions.
FloWatch
TBOS-II manages each station independently. If a flow alert is emitted for one valve, the controller stops irrigation
TM
on all valves affected to the sensor. Valves non affected to the flow sensor keep on proceeding their programs
normally.
A flow sensor can be ignored, as well as its flow data. See Flow Watch OFF command in IQ V2 Software HELP Section.

1. Radio range increase between Field Transmitter and Radio Adaptor TBOS-II

Optimum Radio range between Transmitter and Radio Adaptor.

The radio range between TBOS-II
equipped with a Radio Adaptor can reach 50m in open field. Radio range can be significantly
different according to:
- Natural barriers (topology, trees...)
- The absorption or reflection of non-natural barriers (metal structure, concrete bloc...)
- Antenna position (See TBOS-II
has to be positioned vertically, pointing up.
A TBOS-II Field Transmitter can control an unlimited number of TBOS
TM
Control Modules, but its radio range is limited.
In order to increase radio range between Transmitter and Control Modules, the user can install
one or several TBOS Radio Relays. (TBOS Radio Relay scan be used without IQ Software.)
