POWER FAILURES ...................................................................................................................

Due to the possibility of power failures, the controller has non-volatile memory to preserve the program indefinitely. If no 9-volt battery is installed,

the controller will freeze time when the power goes out and resume, keeping time after power has been restored. If a battery is installed, the 9-volt

battery backup will keep time so the clock and calendar will be intact for several days.

CONNECTING TO THE HUNTER IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT AND

MONITORING SYSTEM™ (Not Included).............................................................................

With the IMMS™, automatic irrigation systems at multiple sites or multiple controllers at a single site can be programmed for functions that would

typically be handled directly at each controller. Scheduling of days to water, run times, start times, cycle and soak operations and more can now be

done from a single computer at a desk miles away from the actual installation. In addition, scheduled operation of non-irrigation components also in

use at these sites – e.g., lighting systems at athletic fields, fountains at shopping centers – as well as pumps and sensors can also be programmed

and monitored from a single central location. A key function of the IMMS is its ability to monitor changing conditions. With the aid of such options as

flow sensors, rain sensors and other weather-sensing devices, the IMMS can receive reports on the current condition at every site it is linked with and

then respond with the necessary adjustments should any of those conditions go beyond the limits that have been defined. It’s able to team with any

or all of the standard automatic controllers in the Hunter line-up, from the SRC to the Pro-C to the ICC. Plus, it’s a system that’s easy and affordable

to upgrade, making it possible to accommodate an expanding network of controllers. For more information on the IMMS software, contact your local

Hunter dealer.
