The Pro-C has proven to be the most reliable and robust controller in the industry, with the flexibility to expand on demand due to its modular design. When expansion isn't necessary, the fixed 6 and 12 station models offer affordability in a high-end residential controller. Now, the Pro-C will easily accommodate Hunters Solar Sync without additional wiring. The new Solar Sync dial position makes it easy to upgrade and program any Pro-C to smart control. The Hunter Solar Sync is an EPA WaterSense labeled smart device which calculates evapotranspiration (ET) and adjusts Hunter controllers daily based on local weather conditions, resulting in water savings and conservation. The Pro-C and all AC powered Hunter controllers are now EPA WaterSense labeled when paired with the Solar Sync weather sensor.
WATERSENSE® SMART WATERING CONTROLLER BY ADDING SOLAR SYNC
By adding a Solar Sync to your Hunter controller, it transforms into a smart controller using local weather conditions to tailor watering schedules to actual conditions on the site. A Hunter controller with Solar Sync has been independently proven to have a detailed list of water saving features and has been approved by the EPA as a WaterSense Smart Watering Controller.

EASY RETRIEVE MEMORY
A manual back-up utility that stores complete controller scheduling and setup information in back-up memory. This allows the saved watering schedule to be restored at any time. This can be used to set a controller back to its initial settings after tampering or at the beginning of a new season.
AUTOMATIC SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Automatic short circuit protection is a feature found in all Hunter AC powered controllers. This feature automatically detects electrical faults, which are typically caused by wiring issues. Only affected stations are skipped, allowing all other stations to water normally as programmed. There are no fuses to blow or internal circuit breakers to trip, so complete irrigation system shutdown is avoided.
QUICK CHECK
The QuickCheck feature makes field wiring issues easy to assess with the push of a button. QuickCheck displays an ERR message when a field wiring short is detected on a particular station number.
SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT: GLOBAL OR AUTOMATIC UPDATES WITH SOLAR SYNC
This feature allows for quick adjustments to irrigation run times through a percentage scale. During peak season, set the seasonal adjustment to 100%. If weather conditions require less water, enter the appropriate percentage value (i.e. 50%) to cut down irrigation run times without the need to adjust each station in the program. This model offers two different ways to use Seasonal Adjustment to reduce water usage: Global and Daily.
Global: The Global option provides a Seasonal Adjustment percentage to all station Run Times on all of the controller's Programs.
Daily: With the addition of a Solar Sync ET Sensor, the controller has the ability to automatically implement daily adjustments based on measured local weather.
DELAY BETWEEN STATIONS
Users can program a delay between stations as the controller advances from one station to the next. This delay can range from a few seconds (to permit slow-closing valves additional time to close) to a much longer period of time (to allow pressure tanks time to recharge), based on user requirements.
SENSOR PROGRAMMABILITY
The ability to specify which program will be shut down in response to a specific sensor alarm. This allows programs unaffected by the sensor to continue automatic operations.
NON-WATER DAYS
Day(s) of the week can be programmed OFF in advance, so that irrigation does not occur regardless of program interval schedules. For example, if the gardener mows the lawn on Saturday, the Non-Water Days feature allows Saturday to be programmed OFF, so that watering will not occur.
Installing Station Modules: (Sold Separately)
The Pro-C controller is supplied with a factory-installed base module for up to 4 stations. Additional modules may be added in increments of 3 stations (PCM-300) or a single 9-station (PCM-900) to expand the controllers station capability to 16 stations. Additional modules are sold separately.
The Pro-C utilizes automatic module recognition firmware to identify when PCM modules are installed or removed from the controller. This feature will recognize the correct number of stations without having to reset or cycle power to the controller
Installing PCM Modules
The Pro-C controller is designed with a simple to use "Power Lock" feature that assures that the modules are energized and firmly secured into the controller. The "Power Lock" can unlock or lock all modules at one time by simply pushing the "Power Lock" slide.
Note: The use of a PCM-900 to expand your controller to 16 stations requires that one PCM-300 be installed in the first expansion slot (stations 57) and the PCM-900 in the upper two expansion slots.

The Hunter Pro-C controller dial design makes programming easy and user-friendly. Each click on the dial represents an innovative and responsive setting to get the program start times, station run times, and water schedule operating professionally. The Pro-C series timers are available in three models, the fixed 6 and 12 stations and the expandable 4 station versions. To expand the base model simply purchase an expansion module and install it directly in the controller. For more information about how to install an expansion module see page 10 of the Pro-C controller manual or watch our informative how-to videos available on the PC-400I product page.
The Pro-C controller is now manufactured with a built-in Solar Sync delay technology that transforms the base controller into a smart watering machine. This feature allows the controller to use local weather conditions to adjust watering schedules to physical conditions on the site. The solar sync system uses a solar and temperature sensor to determine the evaporation rate at which plants use water. The controller will automatically increase or decrease watering run times based on the local weather conditions.
The PC-400I modular indoor controller has several top-quality advanced features. These include WaterSense smart watering capability, easy retrieve memory, automatic short circuit protection, and more. Each of these features is included to assist the customer in keeping their residential or light commercial properties watered professionally. The 4 station controller also features sensor programmability and seasonal adjustment. The sensor programmability feature has the ability to specify which program will be stopped in response to a specific sensor alarm. This feature ensures that programs that are unaffected by the sensor to continue their automatic operations.
The Hunter Pro-C base model is manufactured with a pre-installed base module that allows for 4 stations. These station numbers can be increased with the additional purchase and installation of the PCM-900 or PCM-300 expansion modules. Installing these separate modules can be done in just a few simple steps. First, slide the "power lock" into the "power off" position and insert the desired PCM module into the next available expansion slot in the controller cabinet. When the modules are in place, slide the "power lock" into the "power on" position. The Pro-C controller will automatically compute the correct number of stations and they will be available for programming through the controller settings.
The Pro-C controller is available in three different models. These include the 4 station base model, the 6-station PCC-6, and the 12 station PCC-12. The conventional wiring is from 4 to 23 stations, Hybrid EZ decoder option that is up to 32 total stations and 28 stations max if two-wire only. Fixed models are available if expansion modules are not preferred.
