Pilot-FC

Reliable Field Control Packed With Features

The Pilot field controller manages up to 80 stations in 10-station increments. The full-featured controller has everything you need in a stand-alone field controller.

For a fully automated, flow-optimized system network all your controllers together with Pilot-CC central control software. Communication options include wired, UHF radio and two license-free frequencies. Power options include both 120 VAC and 230 VAC. Advanced troubleshooting features like a UHF radio signal strength meter and extensive system and error logging are complimented by Hunter’s Safety-Toggle™ station switches.

To make things even easier, the only service tool required is a phillips screwdriver – and you don’t even have to bring it with you because we include one with every controller.

Water-Resistant Keypad [1]

The large, illuminated keypad with a backlit display includes convenient funtion buttons for the most commonly used features. Built in system diagnostics make troubleshooting your system a breeze.

Diagnostic LED Indicators [2]

In addition to control panel indications, diagnostic lights on controller modules visually tell you if stations are running, station outputs have overloaded and much, much more.

Easy to Service [3]

The only tool required is a Phillips screwdriver and you don't even have to bring one because we include it with every controller. Program decoders right on the line or use the programming port built right into the hub.

Modular 10-Station Expansion Boards [4]

Color-coded modular components with captured screws so they won't get lost, making it easy to assemble and troubleshoot. Safety-Toggle station switches ensure station cannot be accidentally left on. Any time they are used Pilot logs the fact so you always know what has happened.

Spacious Wiring Area [5]

No exposed circuitry or loose wires. All circuit boards are encapsulated in polyurethane to protect them from moisture, insects and temperature extremes. The horizonal alignment of station wire terminals makes wiring up the controller a snap. We even include zip tie anchors to help keep wiring neat and out of the way.
