Compatible with Solar Panel Kit The Solar Panel eliminates the need for batteries and provides maintenance-free operation by harnessing the sun's energy or ambient light to fully power the controller 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for years on end. This "eco-innovations" alternative is more environmentally friendly and saves on battery costs.
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.
Global Seasonal Adjustment 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.
Sensor Compatibility Node is compatible with hard-wired Hunter Clik sensors and other micro-switch type weather sensors for enhanced efficiency.
Battery Life Indicator All units include a clear display of available battery life so users can accurately schedule for replacement.
One-Touch Manual Start and Advance Allows any program to be started manually by simply pressing and holding the right arrow key. Advance through stations in a program by pressing the right arrow key again.
Non-Volatile Memory This feature offers protection against unreliable power, retaining current time, date, and program data.
Rain Sensor Bypass Feature that controls the input signal from the weather sensor (Rain-Clik, Freeze-Clik, Wind-Clik). When the switch is set to "Bypass" the controller will ignore the signal from the sensor and irrigate normally.
