Toro Irrigation

TBCWP
Waterproof Commercial Battery Controller

The Toro TBCWP sets a new standard for

battery-operated controllers by offering several
advanced water-saving features, such as
monthly program season adjust and Rain Sensor
compatibility. Vandal prone, or remote locations
without access to electrical power, can now reap
the advantages of intelligent irrigation control.
The easy-to-use handheld programmer allows
users to operate up to 99 valves located up
to 50 metres away. And for those with existing
battery control systems, both the TBC handheld
and control unit, are compatible with most
existing competitive systems.
Key Features
Control units are available in 1, 2, 4, and 6 stations with
radio communication to handheld control units

Four independent programs, with 10 start times per program

Programmable season adjust, allows operator to pre-program
run time changes for each month, up to 12 months
in advance
Two 9-volt alkaline batteries (not included) provide sufficient
power to last an entire irrigation season
Fully waterproof to IP68 standard, submersible to 2 metres
Percent adjust from 0-300% in 10% increments
Accommodates normally closed Rain and Moisture Sensors
Users able to create up to 99 programs that can be stored
and then easily downloaded to any TBC controller
Visual confirmation of sent and received commands
TBC Handheld comes with built-in infra-red cable to connect
directly to controller for easy programming via infra-red port.
Communicate up to 50m from TBC handheld to control unit
with in-built radio
Wire length runs up to 60 metres using 1.0mm
