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.

Golf Irrigation Controller Wiring

The only tool required is a Phillips screwdriver and you don't even have to bring one because we include it with every controller.

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.

Golf Irrigation Controller Wiring

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.
