Description

The Rain Bird TM2 controller is designed for domestic and average sized landscape irrigation systems and is a multi-cable controller, meaning that each solenoid valve requires a dedicated wire (you can buy the proper multi-strand irrigation cable from us, refer to our Multi-core Cable page).

So why buy a TM2? Well this cost-effective irrigation controller has features that make it very easy to programme & use. It is available in 4 models depending upon how many solenoid valves your system has. All models can be installed inside or outside and the controller has a lockable weatherproof front door.

The controller has 3 programmes (for different parts of your landscape such as lawns, gardens, greenhouse, pots etc) & 4 start times per programme. It has a back-lit LCD display, making it easier to see when you have it mounted in a shady corner! You can select which solenoid stations react to a weather sensor, for example your greenhouse irrigation doesn’t want to be switched off in the event of rain outside. A seasonal adjustment button allows you to increase or decrease the run-time of all solenoid valves in the system in a second; if the weather is uncharacteristically hot you can increase all stations by say 20%, or if it’s cold but dry, maybe you’ll reduce it by 30%. This changes the run-time of every station on the system and is very handy.

It has a non-volatile memory so does not require battery-backup. This means it will hold its programme in the event of a power cut or if you switch the controller’s power off at the wall.

This is a tidy little controller, with dimensions 20cm x 20cm x 9cm deep.

As an accessory you can buy a LNK WIFI module which fits snugly inside it & allows you to control the irrigation from your smart phone via an app.
