Manual do ProprietárioOrbit 57950 B-hyve™ Wifi Sprinkler Timer

Started

Your B-hyveTM Sprinkler Timer is ideal for new installations or replacing an old sprinkler timer. Here are some basic steps to set up your timer and get you one step closer to saving water and money.

• install the timer

Choose a location on your property with a good Wi-Fi signal.

• Install the B-hyveTM app on your smart device

You need a smart device to connect the timer to wifi. Once the timer is paired, you can also use a computer to set your timer.

• Set your timer with the app or on the timer

Your timer works with or without WiFi - it can be programmed with your smart device or through the timer interface.

• Observation:If you're replacing a timer, it's helpful to take a picture of the wires before removing them from the old timer.

Timer-Installation

• choose a location

If possible, choose a location close to electricity and out of direct sunlight. Be sure to leave room for the timer door to fully open.

• set the timer

Install a screw (included) into the wall. Use the expansion anchors (included) for plaster, masonry or drywall installations. Using the keyhole slot, hang the timer on the installed screw. Align the timer and use the second screw in one of the pre-formed mounting holes to secure the timer.

• Connect the valve wires

Strip 12 mm (1/2 inch) of insulation from each wire. Connect one wire from each valve to a "common" (COM) wire and the other wires to a numbered terminal (only one wire per terminal).

• Observation:We recommend that you consult an electrician for wired installations.

Timer installation - WIFI connection

• Connect your Orbit® B-hyveTM timer

Once your Orbit® timer is connected to the power source, it will automatically attempt to pair with your smart device. In the upper left corner of the timer screen, the "WLAN" icon will gradually start flashing. This indicates that your timer is ready to be paired with a smart device.

• Install the Orbit® B-hyveTM app and create an account on your smart device
• Locate Orbit_SmartHome_XXXX in your WiFi list

The B-hyveTM timer creates its own network that appears in your list of available Wi-Fi connections on your smart device. Connect to the Orbit SmartHome network and return to the Orbit® B-hyveTM app.

• Enter your WiFi settings

After returning to the application, you will see a list of available networks. Choose your network and enter the network password to connect your timer to your WiFi signal. When connected, the WiFi icon on the timer will stop flashing and show solid lines.

Uninstall/Reinstall

• How to pair with WiFi again

You can re-pair your smart device with your B-hyveTM stopwatch by turning off the switch and pressing the reset button on the back of the swash plate. “Pair” will appear on the timer display.

It may be necessary to delete the stopwatch from a smart device. Go to settings to turn off the timer. After that, you will be asked to confirm the removal of the timer.
