Troubleshooting

The following list contains possible problems you
may encounter and some solutions.
Most of the problems involving the TBOS Field
Transmitter can be classified as transmission/ recep-
tion malfunctions usually caused by a dead or
improperly connected battery. Other common caus-
es of malfunction could be a dirty optical connector
and poor wire connections.
These problems are easy to fix. If you experience
transmission/reception problems, try using a
Control Module that operates properly to determine
if it is the Field Transmitter or Control Module that is
the source of the problem.
Before calling Rain Bird, check this list. If you cannot
solve the problem yourself, call our Technical Service
Hotline at 1-800-247-3782 (U.S.) or 626-963-9311
(outside the U.S.) and we will be glad to help you.
