Overview

For isolated sites or power-restricted areas, the Hunter Node is the smart, reliable solution. The Node mounts to a valve solenoid quickly and easily, and without screws, drills or additional wires. The unit's solid construction and waterproof exterior ensure it can handle the harsh environment of a valve box. Once placed in a valve box, the Node is operated by one or two 9V batteries, which provide standard or extended power throughout the season. Along with exceptional reliability, the Node features an easy-to-program LCD screen, the ability to control a Master Valve, and uses standard Hunter controller programming with 3 programs and 4 start times per program. The array of programming options and rugged reliability make the Node a compact, but powerful irrigation controller with the flexibility of battery power.

Advanced Features

Compatible with Solar Panel Kit

The Node's optional Solar Panel Kit (SPNODE) eliminates the need for batteries and provides maintenance-free operation by harnessing the sun’s energy. Once connected, the Solar Panel supplies 100% of the controllers’ power, and eliminates the alkaline batteries. This “eco-innovations” alternative is more environmentally friendly and allows for maintenance-free operation of the controller.

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.

Waterproof Body (NODE)

Rugged shell casing makes the NODE waterproof up to 3.5 m (IP68 rated)

No Power, No Problem
Battery operated controllers allow irrigation to occur without tapping into an electrical connection. They still maintain most of the user-friendly features provided by their wired counterparts.
