RainBee16
RainBee16 must be installed indoors or in a weather proof
enclosure.
Each irrigation valve will have 2 wires. One wire will connect to a
“Zone #” terminal and the other will connect to a “Comm” terminal.
For more than two valves, connect all common wires together and
attach one lead wire to run from the common bunch back to a
“Comm” terminal as shown in the diagram.
A 24V AC power supply will be needed to power your valves and will
connect to the two terminals labeled “AC Xmr”.
Once all connections have been made, proceed to Set-Up
instructions below.
1) Factory Reset
• With your RainBee16 disconnected from power, press and hold the Program Button and restore power while
continuing to hold the Program Button. Once the Status LED starts to blink, release the Program Button.
2) Join Network
• Open a ZigBee HA router/coordinator to permit joining of your RainBee16 to the network. The Status LED blinks
rapidly while searching for an open network to join.
• After the RainBee16 completes the joining process, the LED will be lit solid. The LED will remain ashing fast if the
device is unable to join the network.
The RainBee16 oers wireless control and monitoring
of up to 16 irrigation zones.
With the ability to interact remotely from a PC,
smart phone, or through any web browser, water
conservation and management is easily achieved.
The RainBee16 utilizes the ZigBee RF protocol in the
HA prole, which is rapidly becoming the standard for
home and building automation.
Valve timers and up to 4 program sequences
will need to be set up and triggered with a home
automation gateway such as the Harmony Gateway.

Open Permit Join
In addition to extending the range of ZigBee HA devices, the RainBee16 also serves as a router and
allows other ZigBee HA devices to join the home automation network. After the RainBee16 has
already joined the network (LED is solid) proceed as follows:
1. Press and hold the Program Button for 6 seconds, until it ashes. The Status LED will begin
to ash rapidly. The RainBee16 will allow joining of other devices for up to 4 minutes.
2. Join the new ZigBee HA device to the network according to the join method of that device.
3. When the RainBee16 has timed out for join permission, the Status LED will return to solid.
