CellulAr/GSM (ACC-COM-GSM, GSM-e)
GSM cellular service must have reliable coverage at
installed site.
GSM service must permit and provide Circuit Switched
Data (CSD). IMMS 2.0 connections require CSD and will
use the Data telephone number. No other form of cellular
communications will work. There are no CDMA options for
ACC communications at this time.
uhf rADIO
All UHF radio communications require a license.
All radio communications for ACC work with RAD3 radio
module or later. IMMSR radios, designed for original
IMMS Site Interfaces and Controller Interfaces, will NOT
work with ACC controllers.
poWer faIlures ........................................................................
The ACC's real time clock is independent of external power
or the 9 VDC battery, and will keep time during a power
failure of virtually any length. When external power is
restored, the ACC will still have the correct time and will
be ready to irrigate.

For experienced operators, the fastest steps to initial
programming are as follows.
1. Set Current Date/time: Use the arrow buttons to
navigate, and the +/- buttons to change. Set the Date
and Time and choose Units of Measure.
2. Set Watering Start time: Each automatic Program
has 10 start times. At this position, use the
Programs button to select individual programs,
and the 10 possible start times for that program will
appear. Use arrows to navigate and +/- to change
See SETTING PROGRAM OVERLAP OPTIONS on
page 36 for more information..
3. Set Station run times: At this dial position, use
the Programs button to select the program you are

RAD3 radios are not supplied with antennas, but an
antenna must be provided for the radio to operate, and the
antenna must be installed outside of any metal enclosure
(including the ACC metal cabinet).
Radio communications for the ACC are only to
communicate with other ACCs, and do not provide
communications directly with a central computer. This
should be established with an IMMS-CCC and a hardwire
interface, or by telephone using ACC-COM-POTS or
ACC-COM-GSM (or GSM-E for international applications).
For golf applications using Surveyopr central control
software only, the AGCHUBR provides a direct radio
interface to all radio-equipped ACC/AGC controllers.
See Hunter's ACC System Design Guide for important
details regarding design of central control systems.
A Power Outage message will be stored in the Alarm Log,
with time of the outage. Another log is stored when power
is restored.
setting up. Then, use the +/- buttons to change the
hours:minutes:seconds run time for each station.
Use the up and down arrows to move to the next
station. TIP: Use the Copy and Paste buttons to move
quickly through large numbers of similar stations.
Set the first station's run time, then press Copy. Use
the Up arrow to move to the next station, and press
Paste.
4. Set Days to Water: Use the Programs button to
select the Program. Use the arrows to move to Day
Sched, and choose Schedule Type (Day of Week,
Interval, or Odd/Even).
5. Set Pump Operation (optional): The two Pump/
Master Valve outputs may be set by station at this
position. If no pump or Master Valve is in use, this is
not required.
