G– SENSOR OPERATION

1. Overall Description

A yellow loop is available on each TBOS/TBOS-II
WARNING:
Control Modules (old models) can only accept the Dry-contact Sensor. A switch state of the sensor affects
TBOS
TM
all the valves.
TBOS-II Control Modules accept 2 types of sensor:
TM
- By default, Dry-contact sensors as :
. Rain Sensor (Rain Bird RSD-Bex)
. TBOS controller saves state switch.
- Variable pulse rate flow meters/sensors
. TBOS Controller counts pulses (max 10 pulses per second)
. This kind of sensor is polarized – Refer to polarity (+/-) graved on TBOS-II
on the yellow loop.
. Those sensors have to be set up from IQ Software.
Each valve output can be affected or not by a state switch of the sensor independently.
Flow management is available only when the controllers are centralized on IQ V2 Software. IQ2 withstands up to 4
sensors with network action associated, per TBOS Network.
Alarms are automatically communicated every 12 hours. TBOS-II
information to the IQ-TBOS Master Radio Module. Then the Master Radio module reports the alarm to the central.
You can also manually query any state switch by sending a request from the PC.

2. State switch of a Rain Sensor

Each sensor state switch causes an alert.
For each Rain Sensor and for each sensor state (ON/OFF) IQ Software allows different automatical reactions:
- Selection of affected valve to sensor state switch
- Manual ON with programmable duration. (for only one controller on the TBOS Network)
- Manual Program (for only one controller on the TBOS Network)
- Manual OFF (for only one controller on the TBOS Network)
- OFF or Rain Delay for all controllers on TBOS Network
- ON for all controllers on TBOS Network.
Control Module to accommodate a dry contact sensor.
