Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the most versatile hand-held programmer
in the market to date. The Toro Battery Controller Hand-Held
Programmer (TBC
TM
HH) can program Toro’s Battery-operated
Waterproof controller (TBC
TM
WP) utilizing infrared technology or with
the optional radio communication capability. In addition, the TBC
TM
HH
Programmer is fully compatible and a perfect upgrade to other battery
operated controllers in the market.
Aside from the easy to read, back-lit LCD display, TBC
TM
HH offers
additional functions when used in Toro mode. With Toro mode, you’ll
have more programming flexibility by having the ability to use odd,
even and interval scheduling, season adjustment, etc. These features
are not offered for use with non-Toro controllers.

Battery and Comm Cable Installation
The TBC
TM
HH Programmer is
powered by a 9 VDC battery.
Follow the steps to install the
battery.
Step 1 - Remove the
programmer’s back
cover by loosening the
three retaining screws.
See
Figure 2 insert.
Step 2 - Install the battery onto
the socket as shown on
Figure 2.
Step 3 - To install/remove the
communication cable,
remove or plug the
communication cable into
the RJ45 socket indicated
on
Figure 2. Once
installed/removed, verify
that the rubber cover seal
is properly seated.
Step 3 - Reinstall the programmer’s back cover.
Communication Procedure
The TBC
TM
HH Programmer is designed to communicate with the
TBC
TM
WP and other battery operated controllers using an IR cable
that plugs into the controller’s communication receptacle. See
Figure 3.
The
TBC
TM
HH can also be purchased with an optional radio
transmitter for wireless operation. See
Figure 4.
To load programs from the
TBC
TM
HH to a controller, simply press
the button. The two devices will initiate a verification procedure
that will match their Programmer I.D. and Controller Number
(verification process is not required for wired I.R. communication).

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
button until ADVSET
is displayed. Press the
NEXT
button until above screen is
displayed.
Step 2 - Press
ON
or
OFF
button to select the appropriate
Programmer I.D. you would like to assign the hand-held.
Step 3 - Press the
DIAL
button to accept the change.
NOTE
Proceed to Controller Setup (pg. 7) to
establish the controller’s Programmer I.D. and Controller
Number.
