16As indicated in the foreword, the addition of a radio interface unit enhances the programming of old generation TBOS™ control modules and allows the transfer of programs by radio to the new TBOS-II™ control modules.This simply requires the radio interface unit to be mounted on the old or new generation TBOS™ control module.  D – USING THE TBOS-II™ FIELD TRANSMITTER via RADIOFor information, the radio interface unit is compatible with the following old model TBOS™ control modules: -  K80 120, K80 220, K80 420, K80 620 (Europe)-  K80 110, K80 210, K80 310, K80 410 (U.S)   1. Radio tagging of TBOS-II™ productsRadio tagging consists in sending the network number of the TBOS-II™ eld transmitter to the radio interface unit. The two radio products (TBOS-II™ eld transmitter and radio inter-face unit) must have the same network number in order to communicate with one another.Radio tagging is performed only once in the lifetime of the product (the rst time it is used after leaving the factory) or if the user moves a radio interface unit  from one site to another (E.g. site 1 with network number 0001,  site 2: 0002, etc.).         Press any key to turn on the eld transmitter and display the welcome menu.          Press OK, select “TBOS Radio“ using the OFF key and conrm by  pressing OK.          The select “Radio tagging“ from the TBOS™ Radio menu.  A message will then appear on the screen.         Remove and reinsert the radio interface unit battery.          Conrm the radio tag on the TBOS-II™ eld transmitter within 20 seconds of reinserting the battery.TBOS-II™ Field TransmitterTBOS-II™ Field radio interfaceTBOS-II™ control module 1, 2, 4, 6 (old generation)TBOS-II™ control module 1, 2, 4, 6
17         If  tagging  has  failed,  the  message  “FAILURE CODE 1“ will be  displayed after a few seconds (1 indicating a radio error).  If tagging has been performed correctly, the message  “SUCCESS“ will be displayed on the screen, followed by the unique identication code of the radio interface unit just tagged (12 digits).  2. Special radio tagging procedure for old TBOS™ products If the radio interface unit is attached to an old TBOS™ controller and the user performs radio tagging, the irrigation program held in the old TBOS™ is automatically transferred to the radio interface unit that then becomes the controller.An empty program is then sent to the old TBOS™ control module that when only serves to control the solenoids.If network tagging is subsequently performed again, it is an empty program that will be transfer-red, causing the loss of the interface unit’s program. To prevent this happening, you must remove the radio interface unit from the old control module if you which to perform network tagging of a module that has already been operated.   3. Changing the network number of TBOS-II™ products Each TBOS-II™ eld transmitter and each radio interface unit is assigned a network number of “9999“ in the factory. This user-modiable number is stored in the memory of the TBOS-II™ eld transmitter and the radio interface unit even when switched o.         Press OK, select “TBOS  Radio“ using the OFF + key and conrm by pressing OK.         Then, select “Radio tagging“ from the TBOSTM radio menu.  A message will then appear on the screen.          Select “Network number“. A warning message will automatically be displayed informing you of your action.        The default network number will be displayed (9999).
