Hunter Pro-C Irrigation Controller

The Hunter Pro-C controller offers a versatile and modular solution for irrigation needs, catering to both residential and light commercial applications. It eliminates the need to stock multiple controller sizes by allowing customization from 3 to 15 stations. The modular system simplifies inventory, requiring only three core units: indoor cabinets, outdoor cabinets, and station modules.

Beyond its modularity, the Pro-C boasts advanced features including three independent programs, each with multiple start times. It offers flexible day scheduling options, a "one touch" manual start and rapid advance function, a programmable event day off, a robust heavy-duty locking plastic cabinet, and superior surge protection. The Pro-C is designed to provide maximum flexibility for landscapes of all sizes, particularly those requiring a minimal number of stations.

Indoor and Outdoor Models: The Pro-C is available in both indoor and outdoor configurations. The indoor model features a plug-in 120VAC transformer, while the outdoor model comes in a locking plastic cabinet with an internal 120VAC transformer and junction box.

Features & Benefits

• Versatile modular design: Simplifies inventory management and allows easy customization to the desired number of stations.
• Large LCD display: Provides simplified programming and makes schedule review and entry easy to read.
• Three programs (A, B, C) with multiple start times: Enables independent programming to handle diverse watering requirements.

Removable Face Plate: The Power of Desktop Programming is in Your Hands

The Pro-C controller features a removable face plate, allowing for programming from various locations. Users can detach the front panel and take it with them to program functions while walking around the yard, visiting each zone. Programming can also be completed in an office before site installation, or the panel can be handed to the customer during installation for familiarization.

Modules: Custom-size Controller to the Project

The Pro-C's modular design offers flexibility for virtually any residential or light commercial need, keeping installer inventory to a minimum. Starting with a 3-station base unit, the controller can be expanded up to 15 stations. This means contractors can stock fewer controller types, relying on indoor/outdoor Pro-C base units and 3-station (PCM-300) or 9-station (PCM-900) modules to meet diverse project requirements.

The Flexibility to Cover Particular Program Needs

The Pro-C is designed to accommodate unique landscape requirements. It offers advanced programming flexibility, including 3 independent programs with 4 start times per program, and long station run times for deep soaking needs. For areas with irrigation restrictions, users can choose from day-of-the-week, interval watering, or true odd/even scheduling. The "event day off" feature allows specific days to be designated as non-watering days, useful for maintenance or special events.
