The Hunter Wireless Valve Controller (WVC) is a battery-powered, radio programmable controller that can operate

one (WVC-100), two (WVC-200), or four valves (WVC-400). Hunter’s Wireless Battery powered irrigation systems are ideal

for commercial/municipal applications such as street and highway landscaping, medians, parks, construction sites, and

other areas that do not have access to power.

All programming and manual operations with the WVC are accomplished with the Wireless Valve Programmer (WVP). The

WVP is a hand-held programmer that allows you to create programs and conduct manual operations with WVC controllers

in the field. Because the WVP retrieves and transmits data via radio signals, you never have to open a valve box to check

the status or program your controllers.

The following instructions provide information on installing and setting up your WVC. Additional programming instructions

can be found in the WVP Owner’s Manual.

WVC ComponenTs........................................................................................

This section provides a brief overview of some of the com-

ponents of the WVC. Each item will be discussed in further

detail later, however, this section can be helpful in getting

acquainted with the different options available.

1. WVC Body – The WVC controller is designed to be dirt

tolerant, waterproof, and submersible to 12 feet.

2. External Antennae – Flexible rubber antennae for radio

communication.

3. 9-Volt Battery Holder – The WVC is designed to oper-

ate on a single 9-volt alkaline battery. The battery easily

snaps into the battery holder.

4. Wires for DC Latching Solenoids – Leads are provided

for wiring DC latching solenoids. The red wires are

numbered on top of the WVC to provide station identifi-

cation. The black wire is the common wire.

5. Weather Sensor Wires – A Hunter Mini-Clik®or other

micro-switch type sensor can be connected to the WVC.

6. Valve Mounting Clip – Allows the WVC to be mounted

directly to any Hunter valve. The clip can also be used

in conjunction with the Universal Mounting Adapter.

7. Universal Mounting Adapter – Allows for alternate

methods of mounting the WVC. It can be used to

mount the WVC to the side of the valve box or on a ½"

(13 mm) diameter section of plastic pipe.

8. LED Indicator Light – Used when setting the WVC

address.

The WVC uses a standard 9-volt alkaline battery to operate

the valve and program the controller. Battery life is affected

by the number of valve actuations, along with the distance

the solenoids are from the controller. Under normal service

conditions the battery should provide at least one full year

of service.

NOTE: The WVC has non-volatile memory

that retains all program information when

the battery is removed or in the event the

battery is drained.

To install the battery:

1. Unscrew the rear half of the WVC body to gain access

to the battery compartment.

InsTallIng The baTTery...........................................................................

2. Snap the battery into the battery holder.

NOTE: The battery holder is designed so

that the battery can only be inserted in one

direction.

3. Make sure no water is inside the battery compartment.

Make sure that the seals are in good condition. Screw

the WVC body halves together to seal the compartment.

Station Wire (Red Leads)

Common Wire (Black Leads)

Leads are provided to attach a Hunter DC latching

solenoid or other two-wire, low-voltage latching solenoids

to the WVC. (Hunter DC latching solenoid part #458200)

Hunter DC latching solenoids have two leads: one colored

black and the other red.

To connect DC latching solenoids:

1. Select the appropriate station wire (red wire) on the

WVC Note: Station numbers are identified on top of

the WVC. Strip away ½" (13mm) of insulation from the

station wire.

2. Remove ½" (13mm) of insulation from the common

wire (black wire) on the WVC.

3. Twist the red and black leads from the solenoid to the

red and black leads on the WVC as shown in the figure.

4. Make sure that waterproof connectors are used to

secure all wire connections.

NOTE: The maximum recommended

distance from the WVC to any Hunter DC

latching solenoid is approximately 100

feet with 18 gauge wire. Long distances

between the WVC and the DC latching sole-

noid will reduce overall 9-volt battery life.

NOTE: The black wire from each solenoid

must be wired to the single black lead on

the WVC controller.

radIo CommunICaTIon..............................................................................

All programming and manual operations with the WVC can

be controlled with the WVP. Actual performance varies

depending upon the installation and the surrounding ter-

rain. The WVP can send/retrieve data to/from the WVC up

to 100 ft with the WVC installed in the valve box below

ground level. Radio range increases when the WVC is

installed above ground. (Refer to the WVP Owner’s Manual

regarding radio communication).

Below Ground Installation

For maximum radio range, position WVC as

high as possible (see figure below).

Figure 1

addressIng The WVC WITh The WVp....................................................

(WVP required to perform this function)

Each WVC controller requires a unique

identification number for proper radio

operation with the WVP. Setting unique

addresses for each WVC allows for

separate radio programming and manual

operations with individual WVC control-

lers even though other controllers may

be in the surrounding area. The unique

address is a 3-digit number from 000 to

999. Once the address is set, you must

remember the ID for future operation.

(Refer to the WVP Owner’s Manual for

detailed programming instructions).

To set the unique address on the WVC:

1. Press the Transmit/Receive button on the WVP to enter

the communications mode.(Lower portion of display).

2. Use the and buttons to change the 3-digit

identification number. Use the button to make sure

that the WVP is in the transmit mode with the arrow on

the display pointing towards the address icon (see

figure 1).

3. Unscrew the rear half of the WVC body to gain access

to the battery compartment.

4. Install a standard 9-volt alkaline battery into the battery

holder (see Connecting the Battery).

5. Wait for the red light inside the battery compartment to

come on, this may take 10-15 seconds.

6. Immediately press and hold the Transmit/Receive

button on the WVP. The WVP will beep twice when

transmission commences. Release the button.

7. The WVP will beep twice again when the identification

number has been learned by the WVC.

8. If the WVP illuminates the failed to communicate

icon then start over from step 4.

NOTE: If no WVP communication takes

place after the red light on the WVC comes

on, the WVC will turn this light back off

(after 20 seconds) and revert back to the

address already programmed into the WVC.
