Product Information

The CONTROL AND MONITORING SYSTEM CMS Control Unit is a device that allows users to remotely control and monitor their irrigation  system. It is designed to work with the B-hyve Pro or B-hyve Ag app, which can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play. The device is compatible with B-hyve Cell Module (sold separately) for remote control from remote locations. The device has a non-volatile memory that retains programming even when the batteries are removed or drained. The device comes with a lid, battery latch, battery tray, Mac ID, mounting screws, status light, pairing/reset button, B-hyve Cellular Module Port, and Accessory Module Ports.

Product Usage Instructions

Pairing with Smart Device and Installation:

1. Install the B-hyve Pro or B-hyve Ag app on your smart device.
2. Select a location where you want to mount the CMS Control Unit. The device should be mounted as close to the valve(s) or flow meter as possible.
3. Remove the lid of the CMS Control Unit by unscrewing the three screws on top using a Phillips screwdriver.
4. Remove the battery tray by sliding the latch to the left. Insert the batteries. Reinsert the battery tray and slide the latch back to the right.
5. Install the B-hyve Pro Cellular Module (sold separately) into the compartment by sliding it securely in place.
6. Connect the CMS Control Unit to the app by opening the B-hyve Pro or B-hyve Ag app on your smart device. In the app, go to the device list and tap the + button. You will then be guided through the set-up process.
7. Drill a hole in the center of the valve box lid using a 2.5 in. (64 mm) hole saw.
8. Ensure the lid of the CMS Control Unit is off and place it in the hole. Using a drill with a Phillips bit, install the three mounting screws to secure the CMS Control Unit to the valve box lid.
9. Do not attach the lid of the CMS Control Unit until after ithas been paired with a mobile device.

Installing Accessory Modules (sold separately):

1. Ensure the B-hyve Pro or B-hyve Ag app is connected to the CMS Control Unit.
2. Using wire nuts, connect the control wires to a DC latching solenoid or flow meter wires.
3. Remove a cap from one of the CMS Control Unit’s accessory ports.

Note: For control from remote locations, a B-hyve Cell Module (sold separately) is necessary. The CMS Control Unit should be paired with a smart device at the installation location to ensure sufficient wireless signal or cellular strength. Placing the CMS Control Unit inside a valve box rather than mounting it to the valve box lid will diminish your wireless signal.
