The Toro Maintenance Remote is designed for convenience

and usability. This powerful tool enables a single operator

to perform most manual controller operations remotely

from the field.

With the capacity to handle commercial

and municipal applications, the TMR-1 is also right at

home in residential systems as well.

The TMR-1 kit includes a long-range, handheld transmitter

complete with NiMH batteries and compatible charger.

A pre-wired, quick-release receiver mount enables the

TMR-1 system to be quickly installed and ready for opera-

tion; then easily moved from site to site as needed.

The TMR-1 system

is designed for simple “plug and play”

operation with all Toro and Irritrol remote-ready controllers,

such as, TMC-212, TMC-424, and Rain Dial

®

Plus.

For additional controller model compatibility information,

refer to “Specifications” on page 20.

Before using your TMR-1 remote control system for the

first time, the following procedures must be completed:

s

Charge the transmitter batteries for a minimum of

8 hours.

s

Install and connect the receiver plug assembly and

receiver unit per the instructions provided.

s

Test the installation to confirm proper signal reception

and remote operation.

For maximum remote control performance and operating

range, select an installation site for the receiver using the

following guidelines:

s

The mounting location wall is constructed primarily of

wood or other non-metallic materials.

s

Stuccoed walls, metal buildings and large metal objects

are avoided.

s

The receiver is located as high above the controller as

possible.

s

The antenna is free of contact and aligned perpendicular

to the horizon.

The receiver plug mounting bracket should be secured to

an inside wall within 4' of the controller (the connecting

cable is approximately 6' in length). Alternately, when an

outdoor installation is preferred, the receiver plug can be

removed from the mounting bracket and installed into a

threaded

1

fasteners), secure the bracket to the wall as high as

possible. If installing the plug assembly bracket onto

drywall or masonry, screw anchors must be used.

3–

With the receiver lock pulled up, align and install the

receiver onto the plug assembly. Push the lock down to

engage the groove in the plug assembly. See Figure 1.

the wall for

1

2 –

Install a length of PVC pipe through the wall, leaving

about 1" of pipe on both sides.

3 –

Inside, install a 90° elbow and a 3" section of pipe.

Use a conduit clamp to secure the pipe assembly to

the wall. See Figure 3.

4–

Remove the mounting bracket from the plug assembly.

5–

Insert the receiver plug wiring through the threaded

end of a

1

⁄2" thread/slip PVC fitting. Thread the receiver

plug into the PVC fitting and tighten by hand.

6–

Route the wiring through the conduit. Install the

plug/fitting assembly to the pipe, orienting the plug

alignment hole pointing straight down.

s

The transmitter batteries must be fully charged prior to

operation. Refer to “Charging the Batteries” on page 16.

s

For maximum signal range, hold the transmitter vertically,

at shoulder level, facing toward the receiver when sending

a command. Operating the transmitter in a horizontal

plane and/or contacting the antenna during transmission

can significantly reduce signal range.

s

The highest station number that can be selected is 24 (by

default), but is easily adjusted from 1 to 512 as preferred.

The ASC

(All Station Cycle)

feature enables all stations

to be automatically operated in numeric sequence for a

two-minute run time.

When ASC operation is initiated, a start command is sent

to station number 1. The station runs for two minutes and

shuts off. All subsequent stations (up to and including the

highest station number accessible on the transmitter) will

run automatically in numeric sequence. You may prefer to

adjust the station number range for this procedure. Refer to

“Adjust Station Number Range” on page 15.

The handheld transmitter and receiver provided in the

TMR-1 kit are programmed by default with the same

three-digit communication address code ranging from

001 to 999 and requires no additional adjustments for

initial remote control operation.

Due to the long-range capability of the TMR-1 transmitter,

cross talk to more than one receiver is possible if the

receivers are located within the transmitter’s broadcast

radius. So, it is generally good practice to assign a unique

address to each receiver when operating multiple remote

control irrigation systems with a single TMR-1 handheld

transmitter. The transmitter and receiver address codes are

accessed and set through the transmitter keypad.

When the receiver is initially powered up, its address code

can be accessed and adjusted for period of 30 seconds

through the handheld transmitter keypad. To perform this

procedure, you must have access to the receiver, the plug

assembly and the controller’s modular cable connection.

1 – Unlock and remove the receiver from the

plug assembly.

2 – Remove the modular cable connection

from the controller’s remote control jack.

3 – Press and hold the ON button until the

transmitter powers up.

4 – Press the Address button to access the

address code function. The current address

code in the transmitter will be displayed.

5 – Press and hold the Address button

until the word ADDRESS and the third

digit of the addr

ess code begin flashing,

The NiMH batteries supplied with the handheld transmitter

are capable of several hundred charge/discharge cycles and

a long service life when properly maintained.

The transmitter batteries will have a slight charge when

shipped from the factory. Before using the remote system

for the first time, charge the batteries for at least 8 hours.

The battery charger provided in the TMR-1 kit supplies

a dual-rate charge cycle that will initially bring the batteries

to full capacity at a high rate, then switch automatically

to a trickle charge to maintain the batteries at peak capacity.

When using the TMR-1 charger, the batteries can be charged

indefinitely without risk of overcharging.

The battery symbol on the transmitter display indicates

the current charge state of the batteries.

The display symbol will change to indicate the following

batter

y charge conditions:

The following troubleshooting symptoms and solutions

are provided to help resolve basic problems that may arise

during setup and initial operation of the TMR-1 remote

control system. If the problem cannot be resolved using this

information, contact a Toro Customer Service representative

at 1-800-664-4740 for assistance. Normal office hours are

Monday–Friday, 7:30 a.m.– 4:00 p.m., PST.

v Change the receiver location slightly. Try increasing the

installed height and/or moving the receiver slightly left or

right. Sometimes small changes can result in a substantial

increase in reception. Make sure the receiver is not located

within 3' of any large metal object or metal stud. Metal

objects below the r

eceiver are generally not a problem,

whereas metal objects above the receiver can often

decr

ease r

eception and overall performance.
