Over applying water is costly and potentially detrimental to maintaining a healthy, sustainable landscape. Watering, based on evapotranspiration (ET) rates is not only cost effective but environmentally responsible.
The Solar-Sync is a sensor system that, when connected to Hunter Pro-C ICC controllers or inside Hunter’s new PCC Controller, will automatically adjust your controller watering based upon changes in local climate conditions. The Solar-Sync utilizes a solar and temperature sensor to measure on-site weather conditions used to determine evapotranspiration (ET), then determine watering requirements. It automatically calculates these water requirements and makes adjustments taking into account regional weather characteristics.
In addition, the Solar-Sync sensor includes a Hunter Rain-ClikTM and Freeze-ClikTM sensor that will shut down your irrigation system when it rains and/or during freezing conditions.
Product Features- Easy installation and programming
- Works with all Hunter Pro-C and ICC controllers, as well as Hunter’s new PCC controller.
- Automatically adjusts watering based on changes to climatic conditions using the solar and temperature sensors.
- Shuts down the irrigation system when it rains and or/during freezing conditions.
- Non-volatile memory maintains the schedule.
The Solar-Sync System consists of a sensor and a module and is simply and easily installed on any Hunter Pro-C, ICC, or PCC irrigation controller. The sensor that is placed in an area where it can receive full sun and rain. The module is installed next to or inside your Hunter Pro-C, ICC or PCC controller. The Solar-Sync sensor measures solar radiation and temperature and calculates the daily evapotranspiration (ET) factor for irrigation. The system is programmed like any normal controller – station run times are set like they would normally be programmed during the peak summer watering season. The Solar-Sync is designed to adjust the run times daily based upon on-site weather conditions.
