Sensors and Weather Stations

MINI-CLIK

THE SIMPLEST WAY TO AUTOMATICALLY STOP IRRIGATION DURING RAINFALL

Irrigating a landscape during a rainstorm not only results in oversaturated plants and turf, it also wastes water. Hunter’s Mini Clik rain sensor provides the simplest, most effective way to prevent sprinklers from running during or after any level of rainfall. It easily installs on any automatic irrigation system. The Mini-Clik stops scheduled irrigation when it detects a pre-set level of rain has fallen. This automatic process ensures landscapes aren’t watered during a storm. Once the storm passes, the Mini-Clik allows the controller to resume normal irrigation. Mini-Clik is compatible with all Hunter controllers, and once plugged in, it ensures that a system doesn’t water during the rain.

SOLAR SYNC®

SMART IRRIGATION CONTROL MADE SIMPLE

The Solar Sync ET sensor is an advanced weather sensor that calculates evapotranspiration (ET) and adjusts Hunter controllers daily based on local weather conditions. Solar Sync measures sunlight and temperature, and uses ET to determine the correct seasonal adjustment percentage value to send to the controller. The controller then uses its programmed run time and adjusts to Solar Sync’s seasonal adjustment value to modify the actual irrigation run time for that day. In addition, the Solar Sync ET sensor integrates Hunter’s popular Rain-Clik™ and Freeze-Clik® sensors providing quick response in shutting down your irrigation system during rain and/or freezing conditions. The Solar Sync is compatible with most Hunter controllers and applicable to residences, businesses, and municipalities alike.

Weather Station

Having a climate like a smorgasbord can make for some tricky business when it concerns your irrigation system. Of course, you can simply look out the window and decide whether to turn on the sprinklers manually each day, but that defeats the purpose of an automatic system. What you really need is an automatic device that can make the decision whether there is too much rain, too much wind, or too much cold to do the watering. With the Hunter Mini-Weather Station you get each of Hunter’s three different sensor devices in one single convenient unit. The Mini-Clik® rain sensor shuts sprinklers off in a storm and keeps them off, automatically compensating for the amount of rainfall that occurred. The Freeze-Clik® prevents system activation by automatically stopping the flow of water when outdoor temperatures drop near freezing. The Wind-Clik® shuts off systems during periods of high wind, then automatically resets the system when conditions are more favorable. Easy to mount (it attaches to your controller with just two wires) and easy to use, the Mini-Weather Station takes all the guesswork out of when you shouldn’t water.

ET SYSTEM

REPLACED BY ET SENSOR

The Hunter ET System is an easy-to-add accessory for Pro-C and PCC controllers. Using highly advanced technology, the Hunter ET System measures key climatic conditions to calculate local evapotranspiration (ET) factors. ET is a measurement of the water lost from the soil surface by evaporation and the moisture lost from the plants by transpiration. The ET System will calculate irrigation schedules to replenish only the water that is actually needed for plant and soil conditions. The Hunter WiltGard™ technology can intervene to trigger protective watering when extreme conditions threaten vegetation. The result is a dramatic savings in water, healthier root zones, and longer plant life.

SOIL-CLIK™

SHUTS DOWN IRRIGATION WHEN DESIRED MOISTURE LEVEL HAS BEEN REACHED

The Soil-Clik simplifies soil moisture sensing. The Soil-Clik probe uses proven technology to measure moisture within the root zone. When the probe senses that the soil has reached its desired moisture level, it will shut down irrigation, preventing water waste.

Soil-Clik has two components: A moisture sensor probe, which is placed in the soil, and an electronic module, which communicates with the probe and the controller. The probe is easy to install – simply bury it to the correct root depth for your plant material. It can be placed up to 1000 feet from the controller. Easy push button operation allows adjustments to the desired moisture level, with an immediate update of actual measurements.

The module attaches to all AC powered Hunter controllers and will work with most other manufacturers’ AC powered controllers. Soil-Clik can be programmed to shut down irrigation when it senses adequate moisture.

Backed by Hunter’s 5-year warranty, the Soil-Clik is an effective water-saver either by itself or as a companion with Solar Sync® for an environmentally responsive solution.

FLOW-CLIK®

WHEN RUPTURES OR LEAKS OCCUR, FLOW-CLIK ENSURES WATER FLOW IS STOPPED IMMEDIATELY

A ruptured pipe or broken sprinkler left undetected can result in substantial damage. Plants and ground cover can be flooded, slopes can be eroded, and hundreds of gallons of water can be wasted. Hunter created the Flow-Clik flow sensor to guard against these damages in the event of a rupture. The Flow-Clik can be programmed at a specified level of flow. It will shut down irrigation if it detects a flow rate higher than the programmed limit. Therefore, the amount of water loss and system damage is substantially reduced in the event of high external leakage.
