TMR-1 Remote Contr ol System Over view 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.

Receiver Installation 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.
2 – Using the provided wood screws (or other appropriate 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. Caution: Never connect the remote control power wires to any voltage source greater than 24 VAC.
6 – Locate the controller’s remote RJ-11 jack and insert the modular connector. See Figure 2. The controller illustrated in Figure 2 is shown for r efer ence only. Refer to the controller user’s guide for specific installation infor mation. 7 – Locate the controller’s 24 VAC connection terminals and attach the receiver power wires. Connect either wire to either terminal. 8 – Apply power to the controller. The receiver Activity monitor should begin flashing Green.

Remote Contr ol Operations For the best results, please note the following TMR-1 remote system operating characteristics: 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.
Operating Contr ols After selecting and starting a station, the following operating controls become available: s Stop operation: Press the OFF button. s Select a dif fer ent station number: Press the left or right arrow button to select the station number. The previous station will turn off as the selected station starts. s Pause operation: Press the pause button. The pause symbol will be displayed with the station number.
ASC Operation 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.
TMR-1 Setup Featur es About Communication Address Codes 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.
Reset Receiver Address Code 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.
Important: The Activity monitor will momentarily flash Red when the receiver acquires a valid signal from the handheld transmitter. Repeat this procedure as necessary until the signal reception is confirmed. 9 – Connect the receiver modular cable to the controller. 10 – Run a basic station operation using the handheld transmitter to confirm established communications and proper controller operation.
Transmitter Batter y Ser vice 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.
Figur e 4 ON OFF To 115 VAC Receptacle Replacing the Batteries When battery replacement is required, any conventional size AA rechargeable NiMH or non-rechargeable Alkaline batteries can be used. Caution: Never, under any circumstances, connect the battery charger to the transmitter with Alkaline batteries are installed. Charging Alkaline batteries will result in battery failure and severe equipment damage. 1 – Confirm the transmitter is Figur e 5 off and the battery charger is disconnected.
Troubleshooting 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. The controller station does not turn on.
Solution 2 of 2 v Relocate the receiver beyond the constraints of the 6' connection cable and power wire supplied in the TMR-1 kit. Use a conventional RJ-11 extension cord and additional 18-gage power wire to install and connect the receiver in an optimal reception location, within 30' of the controller. The transmitter batteries dischar ge quickly. Solution 1 of 3 v Protect the handheld transmitter keypad. Pressing the buttons on the hand-held cause it to transmit a signal which uses battery power.
