XAG FBV5i Smart Electric Valve Controller (Internal Antenna) is an intelligent valve controller within the XAG Smart Farm ecosystem (2025), designed for automation of complex irrigation systems.

The FBV5i model works exclusively with the FBV5 valve and provides centralized water flow management through the XAG Farm mobile app.

The internal antenna controller ensures compactness and stable connectivity in standard 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
- Automatic operating modes: Power-saving and Performance

Construction and Components

- FBV5i controller
- Internal PCB antenna
- Up to 4 ports for pressure sensors
- Air tubes for each channel
- Battery compartment
- 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
- 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
- Antenna type: internal PCB
- Power supply: 21700 Li-ion battery
- Integration: XAG Smart Farm (IoT)
- Control interface: buttons + mobile app
- Protection: up to IP66 (as part of the system)

Operational Features

- Mounts directly onto the FBV5 valve
- Operates within network coverage (FS1 / FS2 server, repeaters)
- Requires stable coverage without obstacles
- Used for large or complex irrigation systems

Application

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

Important Note

The FBV5i is the controller only. The operation requires the FBV5 valve, together forming a single smart unit.
