X Core 4 - 4-zone control unit for indoor use

The Hunter X-Core residential controller offers simple operation and is compatible with Hunter remote controls and the Solar Sync “smart” evaporation sensor. With easy and intuitive programming, 2 to 8-station versions, 3 programs with 4 start times each, the X-Core is the perfect solution for residential applications.

Equipped with a manual backup utility that stores a controller's entire schedule and configuration data in a backup memory. This allows you to restore the saved irrigation schedule at any time. The feature can be used to restore a controller to its initial settings after it has been tampered with or at the start of a new season.

Delayed irrigation is programmable. The user-specified number of days that the controller will remain in Off mode and then automatically revert to automatic irrigation. This will prevent irrigation during extended periods of inclement weather but will automatically resume irrigation without requiring the controller to be reactivated. The controller will display the number of days remaining before irrigation resumes.

The Quick Check function allows for rapid diagnosis of valve wiring problems in the field by quickly checking each circuit for faults. Quick Check can detect a short circuit in the wiring by displaying the ERR message and the number of the affected station.

Equipped with permanent memory that offers protection against unreliable power supply. Stores the current time, day and program data.

Automatic Short Circuit Protection Automatic short circuit protection, available on all Hunter AC powered controllers, automatically detects typical electrical faults due to damage or wiring problems. Shorted stations are skipped, allowing watering to continue for the non-faulty stations. No fuses to change or circuit breakers to trip causing a total shutdown of irrigation.

Seasonal Adjustment: Manual or Automatic with Solar Sync This feature allows for quick adjustments to watering times using a graduated percentage scale. During peak season, set the adjustment to 100%. If weather conditions require less water, enter an appropriate percentage value (e.g. 50%) to limit watering times without having to change each station in the program. This model offers two different ways to use Seasonal Adjustment to limit water consumption: Global and Daily. – Global: The global option provides a percentage of Seasonal Adjustment to all programs and all controller start times. – Daily (via optional Solar Sync sensor): Allows for an automatic daily adjustment based on weather conditions detected by the Solar Sync ET sensor. This sensor is optional.

Delay Between Stations Users can program a delay between stations when the controller switches between stations. The delay can be a few seconds (to allow valves to close more slowly) or longer (to allow more time for pressure tanks to recharge), depending on the user's needs.

Sensor Programmability Ability to specify which program will be stopped in response to a specific sensor alarm. Allows programs not affected by the sensor to continue automatic operations.

Total Run Time Calculator This feature adds all the run times together and calculates the total duration of a program with the ability to instantly display the total duration of a watering cycle. This data can be used to determine the time of day when watering will end.
