Transformer The HSC has a dual-voltage transformer behind a safety enclosure. The HSC controller’s transformer is adaptable to single phase 120 and 240 voltage inputs. WARNING: TURN OFF THE POWER TO THE CONTROLLER BEFORE WORKING WITH THE TRANSFORMER AND WIRING. TURNING THE ON/OFF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN OFF THE POWER INTO THE TRANSFORMER. ALWAYS FOLLOW APPLICABLE ELECTRICAL CODES.

When adding modules to the HSC, first turn off the power to the controller at the On/Off Switch. Look at the slots on the back of the module. The slots are configured so that the alignment pins insert into the middle of the slot. The module should then be able to slide up into the ten-pin connector of the HSC or the module above it.

HSC-1600-M INSTALLATION & USER MANUAL Step 2 - Install a #6 AWG solid copper wire from the grounding lug in the controller to a ground rod and ground plate. FOR INDOOR INSTALLATIONS OF THE IRRIGATION CONTROLLER, LOCATE AND SECURE THE NOTICE GROUND WIRE TO A COLD-WATER PIPE.
Setup at the Controller When the HSC first powers on, it will show the controller MAC ID, firmware version, and the display will show, “For full functionality use the B-hyve Pro app.” ® The HSC controller was designed with the intention of having the phone app be the primary interface.
HSC-1600-M INSTALLATION & USER MANUAL Master Valve / Pump Start WIRE RUNS SHOULD BE CONTINUOUS WITHOUT ANY WIRE SPLICES.

To attach a rain sensor, remove the small piece of wire or “wire jumper” from the terminal and connect the rain sensor wiring according to manufacturer’s instructions. Hydro-Rain recommends using HRC-100 series rain sensors, but any manufacturer’s power-interrupt-style sensor will work. This includes soil moisture sensors that operate on the power-interrupt principle.
HSC-1600-M INSTALLATION & USER MANUAL LED Lights on the Controller & Modules The LED lights on the HSC illuminate with distinct colors and flashing patterns to let you know where or when an Alert, Caution, or irrigation is taking place. These can be helpful when troubleshooting the controller.
Module LEDs The LEDs on the Multi-wire modules can also help you understand what is happening with specific zones and troubleshoot issues with the controller. Colors and pattern are in the chart below. COLOR PATTERN MEANING SOLID Zone Fault, or No Flow (if a Flow Sensor is installed) YELLOW SOLID Rain Sensor Delay...
HSC-1600-M INSTALLATION & USER MANUAL Communication Problems Like any connected device, the HSC must be reconnected if you have trouble with the router, change your Wi-Fi service, or the ethernet provider changes security settings (like firewalls). Update your settings as needed. If your B-hyve Pro app says the HSC is disconnected, try the following steps to reconnect.
Rain sensor jumper wire: removing the rain sensor jumper wire when a rain sensor is not attached will cause the controller to act abnormally. Any wire connected from the negative terminal to the positive terminal (top to bottom) can function as a jumper. Hydro-Rain recommends an insulated wire so accidental shorts cannot take place.
