Hand Held Programmer Setup (Radio Users Only)

Since a single TBC

TM

HH may be used to connect with multiple

controllers, the

TBC

TM

system is designed to have a unique
HHP Number (Programmer I.D.) (1–99) and a separate unique
Controller Number (1–99). Each of the 1–99 Programmer I.D. can
be assigned a Controller Number 1–99. This enables the

TBC

TM

HH to communicate with up to 9,800 individual controllers.

The unique

Programmer I.D. and Controller Number must be

set in each controller within two minutes upon initial power-up.
Mismatched Programmer I.D. and Controller Number during
hand-held to controller communication will return an ERROR
message. Follow the procedure to set the Programmer I.D.

NOTE

Programmer I.D. and Controller Number

synchronization is only required for wireless radio communication.
Step 1 - The TBC

TM

HH I.D. is set during initial power up and the

value can be changed from the hand-held’s Advance
Setup function. When installing the battery for the first
time, the following screen will immediately display.

If the battery is already installed and you want to modify

the Programmer I.D., press the

DIAL

Controller Setup

The TBC

TM

system allows you to assign each TBC

TM

WP a unique

Controller Number. Once assigned a number, the TBC

TM

WP will

only respond and accept programs from a hand-held with that
Controller Number. When uploading and downloading programs
from the TBC

TM

HH using wireless radio communication, make sure

that the TBC

TM

HH is set to the correct Controller Number. Wireless

radio communication is only possible when both devices have
identical numbers. Follow the Steps to set the Controller Number
and assign the controller type, whether it is a Toro brand or not.

Step 1 - Press the

DIAL

button until TORO Y is displayed. The
display will prompt you to select the controller type.
Assign Y (Yes) for Toro TBC

TM

WP controller or N (No) for

non-Toro controllers.

Step 2 - Press the

DIAL

button to set the Controller Number.

Step 3 - Press

ON

or

OFF

button to select the appropriate
Controller Number you would like to assign to the
controller.

NOTE

(Pertains to radio communication ONLY)
Once the controller is assigned with a Controller
Number, it will not accept any wireless radio program
uploads/downloads from the hand-held unless it has
the same Controller Number. Make sure the hand-held
is set to the correct Controller Number before wirelessly
downloading any program to the controller.

To assign a different Controller Number to the controller,

you must reset it by disconnecting the batteries and
waiting two minutes to discharge the memory capacitor.

Step 4 - Attach the batteries to the TBC

TM

WP controller (You can

only reprogram the controller’s Programmer I.D. during
the initial power-up). Once the batteries are installed, you
only have two minutes to process Step 5.

8

Step 5 - Send the identification numbers to the controller. Please

allow more than two minutes prior to reinstalling the
batteries for Step 4.

NOTE

Identification numbers can only be sent to
the controller from the screen shown in

Step 2..

Indicates the controller has accepted the identification

numbers.

Indicates that there is another controller within range

with the same identification numbers. Select a different
controller number and repeat

Steps 2–5.

NOTE

Identification numbers are retained in the
controller until reprogrammed.

Receive/Confirm Module Number

NOTE

This is an advanced feature of the TBC

TM

WP controller

and it does not apply to other non-Toro controllers.
Wireless radio communication requires for both the Programmer

I.D. and Controller Number to match. It is possible to retrieve the
Controller Number from the

TBC

TM

WP unit if it is unknown or lost.

However, it is not possible to retrieve the Programmer I.D. from
the TBC

TM

WP.

NOTE

This process is only valid for wireless radio
communication. Programmer I.D. and Controller Number
matching is not required for wired IR communication.

Step 1 - Press the

minute. Reinstall batteries.

Possible Cause: The IR cable has been damaged and has a short.
Solution: Obtain a new IR cable from your dealer and replace the

damaged cable.

Problem: Communication “ERROR” when using the radio.

Possible Cause: The TBC

TM

HH Programmer I.D. and Controller Number codes

do not match.

Solution: Reset the Controller by removing the batteries. See

Hand-

Held Programmer Setup on page 5 and Controller Setup

on page 7.

Possible Cause: You may be too far away from the TBC

or use the IR cable to communicate.

Possible Cause: There may be too much radio interference from other devices.
Solution: Move Closer to the TBC

TM

WP and send transmission again,

or use the IR cable to communicate.

Possible Cause: Toro TBC

TM

HH is not compatible with the system.

Solution: Consult your Toro dealer for a list of compatible controllers.

Problem: Not able to find program features.

Possible Cause: You may be in the

TORO N mode.

Solution: Change setting to

TORO Y and send transmission. This will

set the controller to the Toro feature set.

Possible Cause: You are trying to program a non-Toro controller unit.
Solution: To use the advanced Toro Features, you must use a Toro

TBCTMWP controller.

Possible Cause: You may not have the correct controller type set in the

controller.

Solution: You need to select

Toro N for non-Toro controllers, and Toro

Y for TBCTMWP and transmit to the controller.

Problem: Valves don’t turn on immediately.

Possible Cause: The Controller may be in a “low charge” mode where it can

take up to 1 minute to send the charge to the solenoid.

Solution: This is normal operation when the batteries are low. To

improve the response time, replace with fresh batteries.

Possible Cause: You have scheduled two programs to start at the same time.
Solution: The TBC

TM

WP will only fire one station at a time, the second

station will be delayed, but will fire within 1 minute of the first.

19

Problem: TBC-HH does not respond.

Possible Cause: Unit is in Sleep Mode.
Solution: Push the

DIAL

button to activate the TBCTMHH from sleep

mode.

Problem: “CLOCK” received after upload with controller.

Possible Cause: The controller time varies from the hand-held time by more

than 10 minutes.
