Hunter’s NODE controllers have replaced the the old SVC system. With a whole bunch of fantastic new features including extra zone capacity & solar panel compatibility, Hunter is once again revolutionising battery control with the NODE system.

For isolated sites, power-restricted areas, or the special needs of drip zones, the Hunter Node is the smart, reliable solution. The Node mounts to a valve’s solenoid quickly and easily, and without screws, drills or additional wires. The unit’s solid construction and waterproof exterior ensure it can handle the harsh environment of a valve box.

The Node is powered by one or two 9V batteries and provides standard or extended power throughout the season. Along with exceptional reliability, the Node features an easy-to-program LCD screen, the ability to control a Master Valve, and uses standard Hunter controller programming with 3 programs and 4 start times per program. The array of programming options and rugged reliability make the Node a compact, but powerful irrigation controller with the flexibility of battery power.

30 m maximum wire runs, 1 mm² wire only

Must be used with Solenoid Valves with DC Latching Coils.

Battery Powered Controllers FAQs

Can I get away with placing my indoor controller outside?

In rare applications, like on a wall under a well covered patio where the space is 100% dry all the time & not exposed to the sun, an indoor controller will continue to operate without issue. But if you’re not sure, we recommend installing an outdoor model. If something does go wrong with your controller due to water damage or the LCD screen failing from sun exposure, the warranty is voided so it’s not worth the risk.

Can I run my system manually from the controller?

Yes, irrigation controllers typically have a manual function, this will allow you to both operate all zones, or each one individually as you please.

Will an irrigation controller operate all zones at once, or one at a time?

Domestic irrigation controllers will always operate zones one at a time. Even if you try to operate 2 to come on at the same time, the controller will automatically delay the operation of the second zone until after the first zone has finished running.

Do I need a rain sensor?

In some states a rain sensor is mandatory, but regardless it’s something you should include in your irrigation system. Having your system turn on in the middle of a day of rain is not only embarrassing, it’s a terrible waste of water & the overwatering is bad for your garden!

Hunter Node Installation

Service from Sunshower was very good and the Node valves work as expected.

Good Experience

Good price and prompt click and collect. I like the fact that they offer to help if you have problems. I used this to control another brand of solenoid valve and it appears to be working well
