Rugged Enough for the Great Outdoors: Why So Many Put ICC on a Pedestal

The Hunter ICC has developed a reputation for being one of the toughest, most heavy-duty controllers on the market today.

But, what truly enhances the brawn of the ICC is the unit’s protective outdoor pedestals, available in three durable styles. The plastic version is UL listed and NEMA 3R rated, meaning it is not subject to UV degradation or color changes. For an even more protective enclosure, Hunter offers the choice of an exceptionally strong metal pedestal and the most durable choice of them all, stainless steel.

		Versatile modular design provides easy addition of more stations and simplified inventory management
		Remote ready with a SmartPort®, connector prewired to the controller.

Available for outdoor ICC installations that do not call for wall mounting, all pedestal units— plastic, metal, and stainless steel—are able to accommodate an ICC with up to 48 stations, a number the competition can only dream about.

Easily Handles Larger Field Wiring

The sturdy stainless steel and metal pedestals feature an optional wiring board (PWB) that makes it easier to work with large gauge wire that is common in the field. Simply bring in the field wire and attach it to the PWB. Then, run smaller gauge wires from the PWB into the controller’s wiring compartment, where their thinner size is easier to maneuver.

The plastic pedestal features removable front and back doors for access to the ICC controller and field wiring. The unit offers plenty of room for a full 48 stations of field wiring, in addition to other components such as a pump start relay, ICR remote control, and Wireless Rain-Clik™.

The plastic pedestal also come remote ready with a SmartPort® connector mounted to a stainless steel bracket and pre-wired to the controller. Plus, the unit can easily be upgraded to an IMMS™ satellite controller at a later date.

Superior Surge Protection

Thanks to the ICC’s superior surge protection, all of the unit’s microcircuits are protected from lightning—or electrical spikes—that otherwise could damage or destroy the programming functions. The ICC is equipped with electronic components called metal-oxide varistors (MOVs), which are designed to shunt electrical surges away from microcircuits through the controller’s grounding circuit. The ICC uses these MOVs to protect the controller from minor power surges coming in through the primary (110/230 VAC) input side and also the secondary (24 VAC) output side.

Plus, there is additional surge protection provided by the wiring hookups found within the plastic pedestal, as well as by the PWB wiring board that can be added directly into the metal and stainless steel pedestals.

Looking for a rugged outdoor controller with ample features that can handle a large number of stations, and you want the unit to be easy to wire up? Stop by your authorized Hunter distributor and see why pedestals make ICC a strong case for being your number one choice of controller.
