Hunter X Core Irrigation Controller

Standard Features

• Indoor and outdoor models, 2 to 8 stations

• 3 programs, A, B, C

• Start times: 4 per day, per program for up to 12 daily starts

• 3 solenoids on simultaneously

• Station run time: 0 minutes to 4 hours in 1-minute increments

Easy Retrieve Memory

A manual back-up utility that stores complete controller scheduling and setup information in back-up memory. This allows the saved watering schedule to be restored at any time. This can be used to set a controller back to its initial settings after tampering or at the beginning of a new season.

Programmable rain delay

The Programmable Rain Delay feature incorporates a user specified number of days to keep the controller in the OFF mode, then allows for the system to automatically revert back to scheduled irrigation. This will prevent watering during an extended period of inclement weather, but will resume watering automatically without requiring a return visit to the controller. The controller displays the number of days remaining before watering resumes.

Quick Check

The Quick Check feature makes a quick diagnosis of field wiring issues easy to assess with the push of a button. Quick Check displays an ERR message when a field wiring short is detected on a particular station number.

Seasonal Adjustment: Global or automatic updates with Solar Sync

This feature allows for quick adjustments to irrigation run times through a percentage scale. During peak season, set the seasonal adjustment to 100%. If weather conditions require less water, enter the appropriate percentage value (i.e. 50%) to cut down irrigation run times without the need to adjust each station in the program.  This model offers two different ways to use Seasonal Adjustment to reduce water usage: Global and Daily.

Global: The Global option provides a Seasonal Adjustment percentage to all station Run Times on all of the controller’s Programs.

Automatically Daily: With the addition of a Solar Sync ET sensor, the controller has the ability to implement daily adjustments based on measured local weather.
