SVC Applications

Reliable battery-powered control without the need of electric connection

For isolated sites or power-restricted areas, and for the special needs of drip stations, Hunter provides the ideal economical answer. The SVC mounts to a valve solenoid quickly and easily - without screws, drills or additional wires - and the unit's solid construction ensures it can handle the harsh environment of a valve box. The SVC operates off a single 9-volt battery that's guaranteed to provide power through a full season. Along with exceptional reliability, it's also a breeze to program, with an easy to read LCD display instead of cumbersome buttons and knobs. Up to nine start times are available, offering the flexibility to handle watering schedules for such things as establishing new turf or irrigating steep slopes with low infiltration rates.

When You Could Use "Just One More Zone"

Are you faced with adding some additional stations to alleviate the problem of having too many sprinklers on a station? Perhaps you're dealing with the continuous repair of broken wires from the controller to the valves? If the prospect of additional valve wire runs or adding another standard electrical controller is not an option, the Smart Valve Controller can provide the ideal solution. Simply install one of Hunter's battery-operated controllers at each additional station required and quickly, economically, you'll make the entire irrigation system more efficient.

The Choice for New Installations or Retrofits

The Hunter Smart Valve Controller is an easy addition to an existing system or the ideal choice for an entirely new one. For that extra station you have that's not wired to your present controller, simply purchase an SVC-100 and attach it to the valve quickly and easily on your own. Or, if you're installing irrigation for the first time in area that has no direct power access, simply order the Smart Valve Controller factory-installed on a PGV 1" flow control valve. The SVC permits automatic control of up to 4 station valves.

Long Battery Life, Just Check it Out

The biggest problem people have experienced with battery-operated controllers is knowing whether the battery is still supplying power. Hunter's new Smart Valve Controller has taken all the guesswork out of this and made battery power something you can count on. Battery life is guaranteed to last through an entire season, eliminating the need for in-season replacement and allowing you to simply install a new battery annually, at the start of the season. Still curious how that battery is doing? Simply check the handy battery life status indicator and the LCD display gives a readout of the current battery level.
