Double Sealed Battery Compartment...
Double protection protects against battery
damage due to water intrusion
A big concern of contractors and installers
when it comes to hooking up battery-powered
controllers in below ground valve boxes is the
controllerʼs ability to withstand water intrusion
into the battery compartment. All Hunter
battery-powered controllers are designed
with a double rubber seal (one O-ring seal in
the body threads and a second seal inside the
cap) to guard against water intrusion into the
battery compartment of the unit.
Three Options for Simple Valve or
Valve Box Installation...
Quick and efcient installation options saves
time and money
Three different ways to mount the WVC
controller give the installer options to keep the
controller up in the valve box out of the mud.
Unique, specially designed controller clip and
wall/pipe brackets provide multiple mounting
options for the controller. The three options are:
1. Mount to a Hunter Industries valve
solenoid using the clip bracket.
2. Mount on the side of the valve box using
sheet metal screws and the wall/pipe
bracket.
3. Mount on a piece of " PVC pipe using the
wall/pipe bracket. This mounting option
can be very useful when the other mounting
options represent a tight t in the valve box
or when the valves are installed deep in the
ground.
Universal Controller for
Most Irrigation Valves...
Operate most irrigation valves found
on a job site
The WVC wireless controller family will
operate all Hunter plastic valves in conjunction
with the Hunter DC latching solenoid. Also,
the versatile WVC controller operates most
other manufacturers irrigation valves with the
use of a compatible DC latching solenoid on
the valve, making it a very universal controller.
Rugged and Compact Design...
Big things come in small packages
Built tough, the Hunter battery-powered
controllers are designed to last many years
in harsh environments. Designed for the
realities of the valve
box environment, the
unit is compact enough
to take up very little
space in a valve box.
A good example of the
built-in ruggedness of
the controller is found
in something as simple as the 9-volt battery
connection...not the wire type, which can
snap or corrode over time, but a
permanently
mounted clip which the battery slides into.
No Interface Modules Required...
Less parts equals less problems
When using the Hunter Wireless Valve
System, no other piece of equipment such
as a radio interface or adapter is required.
You only need the wireless WVP handheld
programmer and either the 2 station WVC-
200 or the 4 station WVC-400 to set up the
system. Without the need for an interface
module hookup, there is no chance of failure
of important connecting devices such as an
optical connector or phone jack between the
controller and module.
Vandal Resistant...
Out of sight, out of mind
Now you can actually
install an irrigation con-
troller down in a valve
box without causing
harm to the controller,
but only when a battery-
powered controller such
as the Hunter WVC is
used. Why put a con-
troller in a valve box?
How about keeping the controller completely
hidden from view. If vandalism is a problem in
the area, then the solution is a battery-powered
controller.
