Hunter Pro-C Irrigation Controller
The Right Candidate for Any Job.
Introduction to the Hunter Pro-C
Hunter offers two robust controllers designed to meet diverse irrigation needs: the modular Pro-C (PC Series) and the cost-effective Pro-C (PCC Series). The Pro-C (PC Series) is a highly customizable controller, expandable from 3 to 15 stations using PCM modules. For contractors who require fixed station control, the new Pro-C (PCC Series) presents a cost-effective selection.
Both controller series share several key benefits, including:
- Three programs, each with multiple start times
- Independent day scheduling options
- A programmable "event day off" feature
- One-touch manual start and rapid advance functionality
- One-button reset capability
- A heavy-duty locking cabinet for durability
- Two-level superior surge protection for internal components
Enhanced Features for Optimal Watering
The Pro-C controllers are designed for ease of use and advanced performance:
- Power-Lock Slide: This feature on the modular Pro-C allows for easy removal or installation of one or more modules, even while the controller is powered, preventing potential issues.
- Simplified Programming: Both controllers offer simplified end-user programming, allowing users to easily turn features on or off as needed.
- Total Runtime Calculator: This function keeps users informed about the total watering time for individual stations within each program.
- Expanded Seasonal Adjust: The range for seasonal adjustment has been increased to 0% to 300%, adjustable in 5% increments.
- Easy Retrieve™ Memory: Provides simple access to a previously saved program configuration.
- Sensor Programmable by Station: Allows for continued watering on specific zones even during rain events, based on sensor input.
Modular Edition (PC Series)
The modular Pro-C (PC Series) provides unparalleled flexibility. It begins as a 3-station base controller and can be expanded up to 15 stations with the addition of PCM modules. This modular design simplifies inventory management, as only three types of units (indoor cabinets, outdoor cabinets, and station modules) need to be stocked. The modularity also ensures the ability to retrofit for future expansion needs.
Key Benefits of Modular Edition:
- Base unit expandable from 3 to 15 stations via PCM modules.
- Power-Lock feature ensures easy module servicing and automatic recognition.
- Simplified inventory leads to lower stocking costs.
- Future-proofing through retrofit capabilities.

Conventional Edition (PCC Series)
The Pro-C PCC Series is presented as a cost-effective choice for users with fixed station control requirements. It is designed for straightforward installation and offers a compact, coordinated system, especially when paired with the Solar Sync module, which can be installed directly inside the controller cabinet.
Key Benefits of Conventional Edition:
- Economical option for fixed station control needs.
- Designed for seamless Solar Sync module installation within the cabinet.
- Shares common features and benefits with the modular edition.

Pro-C Power: Comprehensive Features
The Pro-C controller is engineered with a suite of features for efficient and reliable operation:
- Independent Scheduling Options: Supports watering schedules based on days of the week, odd/even days, or 31-day intervals.
- Non-Volatile Memory: Eliminates the need for a battery to back up programs and current date/time, holding programs indefinitely and providing protection against unreliable power.
- Superior Surge Protection: Includes Hunter Quick Check™ self-diagnostic short circuit protection. Microcircuits are protected from electrical spikes without the need for fuses.
- Three Programs (A, B, C): Each program supports multiple start times, allowing for diverse watering requirements.
- Central Control Compatibility: Ready to integrate with Hunter's IMMS water management system for centralized control.
- Remote Control Ready: Supplied with connections for ROAM and ICR remote controls, enabling remote operation.
- Large LCD Display: Provides a clear, large display for simplified programming and status monitoring.
Sensor and Remote Compatibility
Solar Sync Compatibility
The Solar Sync system is designed to optimize watering performance. Its solar sensor measures the sun's rays and ambient temperature, allowing the Pro-C controller to adjust watering cycles to keep lawns at peak performance. This intelligent system helps prevent over or under-watering due to extreme temperatures.

ROAM Remote Compatibility
The Pro-C controller works with Hunter's ROAM Remote. This mid-range solution is suitable for residential and commercial applications, offering operation up to a 1000-foot range. The ROAM Remote can be conveniently attached to the Pro-C, ensuring it is always accessible.
