Section 2: Installation

Required Tools

  • Phillips Screwdriver
  • Wire Strippers

1. Select a Location
When choosing a location for your timer, consider the following:

  • Choose a location near an electrical outlet.
  • Ensure operating temperatures are not below 0°Celsius or above 70° Celsius.
  • Locate the timer where there is easy access to sprinkler wire (from valves).

2. Mount the Timer

  • Use the mounting template (included) to mark the mounting screw location on the wall. See figure 1
  • Install a No. 8 screw into wall in the upper template location. Leave the screw head protruding 3mm from wall. Use expanding anchors (included) in plaster or masonry, if necessary, for a secure hold.
  • Slip the timer over protruding screw (using keyhole slot in back of timer). See figure 2
  • Drive a No. 8 screw through one of the two pre-formed holes located in lower corners of the cabinet. See figure 2

3. Connect Valve Wires to Timer

  • Strip 12 mm of the plastic insulation off the end of each wire for both the timer wires and the valve wires.
  • Connect one wire from each valve (it doesn’t matter which wire) to a single “Common” sprinkler wire (usually white).
  • Connect the remaining wire from each valve to a separate colored sprinkler wire.

See figure 3

Note: The maximum loading for each station/pump is 250mA (one valve), the maximum loading for the timer is 500mA.

If more than one valve is connected to a station the timer will be permanently damaged.
If the distance between the sprinkler timer and valves is under 210 m, use Orbit® sprinkler wire or 20 gauge (AWG) plastic jacketed thermostat wire to connect the sprinkler timer to the valves. If the distance is over 210 m, use 16 gauge (AWG) wire.

Important: All wires should be joined together using wire nuts, solder, and/or vinyl tape. In wet environments like a valve box it is recommended to use Orbit Grease Caps or Speed Seals to prevent corrosion of the connection and for protection from water infiltration.

Wiring Electric Valves
Strip 12 mm of plastic insulation off the end of each individual wire. Each valve has two wires. One wire (it doesn’t matter which one) is to be connected as the common. The other valve wire is to be connected to the specific station wire that will control that valve. The common wires for all the valves can be connected together to one common wire going to the controller. To avoid electrical hazards and damage to the timer, only one valve should be connected to each station. See Figure 4

Important: The wire can be buried in the ground; however, for more protection wires can be pulled through PVC pipe and buried underground. Be careful to avoid burying the wires in locations where they could be damaged by digging or trenching in the future.

Only connect one valve to each terminal (station) or damage will occur

Your timer is equipped with the simple “push-in” terminals for easy connection. Connect common wire to the common terminal. Connect remaining wires to corresponding terminal locations.

4. Connect Electrical Transformer Power
Connect power connector to the timer. Insert the transformer into an 120V electrical outlet. See Figure 5

5. Activate Battery
One Lithium CR2032 battery (included) is required to retain the program in memory during power loss. Annual replacement is recommended.
Remove the plastic strip to activate the pre-installed battery. (See page 12 for battery replacement)

Note: The battery alone will not operate the valves in your sprinkler system. The sprinkler timer has a built-in transformer that must be connected to an AC voltage source.

Section 3: Programming with

A note about multiple programs
Your sprinkler timer provides the flexibility of using 2 independent programs (A, B). The programs are where you store all of your sprinkler settings. Each program consists of a group of stations set to specific start times and run times. Multiple programs allow you to run different valves on different days with different run times. While many applications only require one program (A), using multiple programs (A, B) can be useful for drip areas, newly planted lawn, or rotary sprinkler stations. Using programs to group stations with similar water needs will maximize irrigation efficiency.
Primary programming can be accomplished in just a few basic steps.

Primary Programming
Press the [RESET] to clear any previous factory programming

1. Set Clock

  • Turn dial to [SET CLOCK].
  • Press the [+/–] buttons to set the current time of day.

Tip: To increase or decrease more rapidly, hold down either the [+] or [-] buttons until the display goes into rapid advance mode.

  • Turn dial to accept time.

2. Set Date

  • Turn dial to [SET DATE].
  • Press the PROGRAM button to select which program you’d like to set.
  • Press the [ ] buttons to select which stations you’d like to set
  • Y/M/D will appear (blinking letter indicates selection).
  • Press the [+/–] buttons to set the correct year, then press [ENTER] or [ ].
  • Press the [+/–] buttons to set the correct month, then press [ENTER].
  • Press the [+/–] buttons to set the correct date.
  • Turn dial to accept date.

3. Start time

  • Turn dial to [START TIME].
  • Press the [+/–] buttons to select time you’d like your watering to begin. (time will adjust in 1 minute increments)

The display will show:

Please note that [START TIME] is the time of day that your programmed watering starts. You can set up to 4 start times at each program if you want to water more than once per day. All stations that have a programmed run time (how long) will run in sequence at each start time.

Note: Start-Time Stacking
When a start time is set before the previous program has completed, that start time will be “stacked” or delayed, and will start upon completion of the previous program.

Example: Bill just planted new grass seed and wants to water three times per day. He sets START TIME 1 for 5am, START TIME 2 for 12pm, and START TIME 3 for 5 pm.

He sets the INT (interval) to water every 1 DAYS (see section 3, HOW OFTEN).

In AUTO mode the system will water 3 times per day. Once Bill’s sod is established he can CLEAR start times 2 and 3 and return to watering just once per day.

4. Run Time

  • Turn the dial to [RUN TIME].

  • Press the PROGRAM button to select which program you’d like to set.

STATION is the area that will be watered by each valve. On this screen the RUN TIME or duration for each station is set.

  • Press the [ ] to select a station and press the [+/–] buttons to enter the watering duration for that station.
  • Press [ENTER] or the [ ] buttons to move to the next station/valve, and enter watering duration for each station.

5. How Often

  3. Odd or Even Days

Days of the Week

  • Your dial should be set to [HOW OFTEN].
    – Press the PROGRAM button to select which program you’d like to set
    – Press the [ ] buttons to move from one day to another.
    – Press [+] or [ENTER] to select a day for watering. A frame will appear around the selected days.
  • To delete a previously entered day, press [-] or [CLEAR].

Example: Monday, Wednesday, & Friday Intervals

  • Use the [ ] buttons to move to the INTERVAL option “INT”.
  • Press [+/–] buttons to select the number of days between watering.

Example: An interval of 1 will water every day; an interval of 3 will water every 3rd day, etc.

Odd or Even Days

  • Use the [ ] buttons to move to the ODD or EVEN day watering.
    – Press [+] or [ENTER]
  • Selecting a different option or pressing clear will erase the previous selection.

Example: Odd: 1st, 3rd, 5th, etc.

Example: Even: 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc.

Turn the dial to [AUTO] and that’s it!
You have programmed your timer!
Turn dial to [AUTO] to activate your program.

Note: If your program is lost, the factory installed fail-safe program will turn on each station every day for 10 minutes.
Note: Your prior programming will not be disturbed unless altered. Always be aware of the program you are in (A or B) when you are making changes.

Reviewing and Changing Your Program
If you want to review or change the start times, run times, or how often to water, simply follow the directions again for that option. After reviewing or changing a watering schedule, remember to turn the dial back to [AUTO] for automatic operation.

Section 4: Additional Features

Rain Delay
[RAIN DELAY] allows you to delay your sprinkler timer from watering for a set period of time. Delay settings are 24, 48, and 72 hours.

  • Turn dial to [AUTO]

  • Press the [RAIN DELAY] button to automatically delay watering for 24 hours.
  • If a longer Rain Delay is desired, press the or [+/–] buttons to increase or decrease the setting.
  • Press [ENTER] or wait 10 seconds and the selected rain delay will begin.
  • [CLEAR] button stops the rain delay and scheduled watering will resume.
  • At the end of the selected rain delay amount of time, automatic watering resumes.
  • While in rain delay mode, the timer display will switch between the actual time and the remaining hours of the delay, every 2 seconds.

Manual Watering
Your timer has the ability to allow you to manually water without disturbing the preset program.

  • Turn the dial to [AUTO].

  • Press the [MANUAL] button. Display will show A B and ALL. After a few seconds or by pressing [ENTER] the timer will begin manual watering.
  • All stations will water consecutively for their programmed duration.

Note: If the run times have not been set, the timer will not initiate manual watering and the screen will return to the current time.

  • To specify a specific program or stations, Press the [  ] buttons to select A or B.
  • Press [ENTER] to activate.
  • To select a specific station, continue pressing the [ ] buttons until desired station number appears.
  • Press the [+/–] to enter the desired duration from 1 to 240 minutes.

  • To stop Manual Watering press [CLEAR].
  • The timer will go back to your original automatic watering schedule.

Example: To manually water on station 3 for five minutes, press the [MANUAL] button then press the [ ] buttons until you see station 3; using the [+/–] buttons, set duration to five minutes; press [ENTER].

Note: After the [MANUAL] button has been pushed, if a selection is not made within 5 seconds all stations and programs will begin watering using the programmed RUN TIMES. If no RUN TIMES have been set, nothing will happen and the display will return to the time of day.

Connecting a Rain Sensor

  • Connect the rain sensor wires to the wiring terminal ports (yellow in color) labeled “Sensor” (see figure 6).

Note: Refer to your rain sensor manual for specific wiring instructions.

  • Place the sensor on/off switch to the “on” position to begin operation.

Rain Sensor Bypass
This sprinkler timer is equipped with a sensor override “on/off” switch. This switch is for use during maintenance and repairs, so the sprinkler timer can be operated even if the rain sensor is in active mode.

Important: If the rain sensor switch is in the “on” position and no sensor is connected, the sprinkler timer will not operate. To resume sprinkler timer operation place the switch in the off position.

Replacing the Battery
Your timer requires a CR2032 Lithium battery.

  • The battery will maintain your program in case of an AC power loss.
  • Battery should last approximately one year.
  • Open by sliding the battery tray out to the right.
  • Insert one CR2032 battery into the compartment with the + side up.
  • Slide back into place.

A weak or missing battery can cause the time, date, and program to be erased after a power failure. If this happens, you will need to install a fully charged battery and reprogram the timer.

Tip: Replace battery every year, to avoid loss of programming.

Note: A battery alone will not operate the valves in your sprinkling system. The sprinkler timer transformer must be connected to an AC line voltage source.

Why isn’t my orbit sprinkler timer working?

Check the connection to the docking port to ensure the timer is plugged in properly. Try removing the timer and reinserting it into the docking port, pushing down until you hear a click. If you are still not getting power, the timer may be defective.

Why is my controller not starting the watering cycle?

Check the valve.
Make sure the valve is operating normally by turning the solenoid 1/2″ turn counter-clockwise. Turning the solenoid will turn the valve on manually. Turn the solenoid clockwise until snug to turn off the valve. If the valve will not turn on manually, check the water supply to the valve.

How do I test my orbit sprinkler timer?

Turn the dial to the “Auto” position and move the slide switch for the desired valve up to the “Manual On” position to test valves on Orbit’s “Individual Station Slide” timers. To test all the valves in sequence, simply press the “Manual” key and press “Enter.”

What type of battery does the orbit use?

ORBIT is powered by a CR2025 coin cell battery (included). It lasts 6 months with normal use and 12 months when on standby.

Why do my Orbit sprinklers turn on twice?

A common reason why a program is repeating is that you have a second start time set. The start times control the exact time your ESP-Me timer will begin to water and they also control how many times a day your timer will water.

What size battery does orbit use?

ORBIT is powered by a CR2025 coin cell battery (included). It lasts 6 months with normal use and 12 months when on standby.

Why are my sprinklers running when turned off?

It’s possible your valves were opened manually. Locate your valve box(es) and turn the solenoid(s) clockwise until snug. The solenoid is located on top of the valve and looks like a cylinder with two wires protruding out of it.

Do not know what google mini is


Does this time have the ability to withstand heat and cold? It would be placed on my garage wall (inside).

The package insert says operating temperature range is 32-158°F (0-70°C), humidity 0-80% and altitude 6,500ft. I have no idea why the altitude would be a limiting factor unless there is a built-in barometric pressure sensor on the circuit board.

Can this replace an old time for four zone system?

It should providing the old system used low voltage (24vac) valves and used a 24vac contactor to start and stop the pump if your system has a pump. If your old system used a mechanical time clock and an indexing valve to switch zones you would need to replace the time clock with a low voltage contactor and program the new controller to switch the pump off and back on to make the indexing change zones. This controller has 5 low power relays internally that the controller uses to turn power on and off to the valves and pump control contactor.

how to change when watering occurs?

Not quite sure what the question is.
If you’re asking about changing settings once your lawn has been watered then all you have to do is open the app and make any changes moving forward.

Is it safe for outside ?

It’s not weather sealed, so no. And it requires the router password for your internet system which means it’s not safe inside OR outside.

why are the dimensions conflicting?

Yes

Can the B-hyve connect over a Verizon cellular mifi for monitoring and use at a remote location?

As long as you have a wifi internet connection between your phone and the controller you should be able to control the unit.

BLUETOOTH HOSE FAUCET TIMER

Congratulations on the purchase of your B-hyve Bluetooth Hose Faucet Timer! Faucet watering has never been faster, easier or more convenient with the ability to control it from your phone. You can schedule, manually operate and monitor flow without climbing through your shrubs to access the timer. The timer works much like other Bluetooth devices: if you are within range of the timer you can connect to it with the push of a button via the home screen in the app. Your B-hyve Hose Faucet Timer uses a Bluetooth chip that has great range, up to 150 ft., to maximize the distance from which you can connect. It also allows you to water down to seconds, which is great for gardening, hydroponics, filling pet dishes or even bird baths

If Bluetooth doesn’t provide the flexibility you need, you can add the B-hyve Wi-Fi Hub to connect to your hose faucet timer from anywhere in the world. With the addition of a hub you can connect to the Internet and have your timer automatically update and adjust based on the weather forecast.

Whatever your connected outdoor watering needs, B-hyve provides best-in class smart products to help you more effectively manage and control your watering. Thanks for your purchase, and welcome to B-hyve.
