XAG FBV5e Smart Electric Valve Controller (External Antenna) is an intelligent valve controller for automation of complex irrigation systems within the XAG Smart Farm ecosystem (2025).

The controller works with the FBV5 valve and provides centralized water flow management through the XAG Farm mobile app.

The key feature of this model is the external Wi-Fi antenna, which significantly improves connection stability and coverage in field conditions.

Key Functions

- Remote control via XAG Farm App
- Water pressure monitoring across multiple channels
- Valve control (open / close / switch)
- Support for complex irrigation scenarios (multi-zone irrigation)
- Device geolocation on the farm map
- Operating modes: Power-saving and Performance

Construction and Components

- FBV5e controller
- External Wi-Fi antenna
- Up to 4 pressure sensor connectors
- Air tubes for each channel
- 21700 Li-ion battery
- Control buttons (left and right)
- LED status indicator
- Mounting hardware (M5 screws)

How It Works

The controller mounts onto the FBV5 valve and performs the following functions:

- Controls the multi-channel valve position
- Receives and transmits pressure and system status data
- Integrates into the farm IoT infrastructure
- Enables automated irrigation through in-app scenarios

Connectivity is established via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi within the farm network.

Technical Specifications

- Compatibility: FBV5 electric valve body (strictly corresponding model)
- Antenna type: external Wi-Fi antenna
- Integration: XAG Smart Farm (IoT)
- Power supply: 21700 Li-ion battery
- Control interface: buttons + mobile app
- Protection: up to IP66 (as part of the system)

Operational Features

- Mounts directly onto the FBV5 valve
- Recommended for: large fields, complex terrain, areas with a weak signal
- Operates in a network with: FS1 / FS2 local servers, repeaters

Application

- Automation of multi-zone irrigation
- Management of multiple water flows
- Fertigation systems
- Digitalization of agricultural production

Important Note

The FBV5e is the controller only. The operation requires the FBV5 valve, together forming a single smart unit.
