Finally, there’s an affordable, full-featured indoor/outdoor controller for commercial applications. Hunter Industries is pleased to introduce the ICC – Institutional/Commercial Controller for commercial use. Designed with the needs of the customer in mind, the ICC offers simplified dial programming and an impressive range of features typically found in controllers that cost twice as much.

MOUNTING THE CONTROLLER TO WALL ................Wall Mount for Plastic, Metal or Stainless Steel Cabinet ICC Controller All necessary hardware is included for most installations. Plastic Cabinet 1. Select a location as close as possible to a standard electrical outlet Cutaway View that is not controlled by a light switch.
MOUNTING THE CONTROLLER (ICC METAL PEDESTAL)..........Pedestal Mount, Metal or Stainless Steel Cabinet 1. Assemble the mounting template using the instructions provided with the pedestal. ICC Controller Metal Cabinet 2. Using the enclosed mounting template, locate the bolts two inches deep in the concrete pad, in the locations indicated.
MOUNTING THE CONTROLLER (ICC-800PP/ICC-800SAT)..........Plastic Pedestal Mounting 1. Set concrete forms using the installation instructions provided with the controller. Allow 2" of conduit above the surface of the concrete pad. 2. Assemble the mounting template. Twist one nut on each of the four J-bolts and slide each bolt through the template.
CONNECTING VALVES ......................1. Route valve wires between control valve location and controller. 2. At valves, attach a common wire to either solenoid wire of all valves. Valve Common Wire This is most commonly a white colored wire. Attach a separate control wire to the remaining wire of each valve.
CONNECTING AC POWER (ICC-800) ..................Figure 1 – Junction Box without Terminal Strip (120 Volt) It is recommended that a licensed electrician perform the following power installation. 120 Black Wire (120 Volt) N Blue Wire (Neutral) 230 Brown Wire Green Wire (Use only for 230 Volt (Ground) Connections )
CONNECTING AC POWER (ICC-801PL AND ICC-800M/ICC-800SS) ......Grounding The ICC 1. Remove the cover from junction box. 2. Strip ½" off of each wire. The ICC is equipped with built-in electrical surge protection. For this system to function properly, the earth ground terminal on the power 3.
CONNECTING STATION MODULES ..................The ICC controller is supplied with one factory-installed station module Note: The Positive-Lock™ feature was added for up to 8 stations. Additional modules may be added in increments of to ICM modules date coded 12/02 or newer. The 4 or 8 stations to expand the controller’s station capability (maximum modules will also work with older ICC units.
CONNECTING THE BATTERY (OPTIONAL)................Connect a 9-volt alkaline battery (not included) to the battery terminals and place in the battery compartment in the controller cabinet. The battery keeps time during power outages and allows the user to program the controller without AC power. Watering will not occur without AC power.
CONNECTING A MASTER VALVE ..................Power Module NOTE: Complete this section only if you have Master Valve a master valve installed. A master valve is a Common Wire normally closed valve installed at the supply point of the main line that opens only when the automatic Master system is activated.
The controller should be mounted at least 15 feet (4.5 m) away from both the pump start relay and the pump. When a pump is to be operated by the controller, a pump start relay must be used. Hunter offers a full range a pump start relays for most applications.
BYPASS position or install a short jumper wire between the sensor terminals. For more information on Mini-Clik sensors, visit Hunter's Web site at http://www.HunterIndustries.com or contact your local dealer.
Power Module ® allowing for fast and easy use of the Hunter SRR or ICR remote control. The remote makes it possible for contractors and end users alike to operate a system without having to walk back and forth to the controller.
It’s able to team with any or all of the standard automatic controllers in the Hunter line-up, from the SRC to the Pro-C to the ICC. Plus, it’s a system that’s easy and affordable to upgrade, making it possible to accommodate an expanding network of controllers.
SPRINKLER SYSTEM FUNDAMENTALS................Valve 1 Valve 2 There are three main components that are involved with all automatic sprinkler systems that are made today. They are the controller, control valves, and the sprinklers. The controller is what makes the whole system operate efficiently. It is technically the brain of the entire system, instructing the valves when to supply water to the sprinklers and for how long to do so.
CREATING A WATERING SCHEDULE ................... For most consumers, it is much easier to plan your specific watering schedule onto paper before actually programming the information It is usually good to water one or two hours before into the controller. It’s also handy to have a written record of your sunrise.

We realize that many consumers will have variations in their plant sequence one at a time. All that is required to create a watering program watering needs, so at Hunter we equipped the ICC with four different is to: programs: A, B, C, and D. These programs are completely independent of each other and give you the ability to have four coexisting timers in 1.

PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER (continued) .............. Seasonal Adjustment Seasonal Adjust is used to make global run time changes without reprogramming the entire controller. This feature is perfect for making small changes that are necessary as the weather changes without reprogramming the entire controller. For instance, hotter times of the year may require a bit more water.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING CAPABILITIES..............Programmable Rain Off There are four advanced features available to customize the ICC to more complex watering requirements. Two of these features are “hidden” to This feature permits the user to SYSTEM OFF make accidentally programming them nearly impossible. stop all programmed waterings for a designated period from 1 to 7 Set Pump/Master Valve Operation...
