System Overview And Operation - Hunter Solar Sync Owner's Manual

System Overview and Operation

The Solar Sync system is simply and easily installed on
any compatible Hunter irrigation controller (see controller
Owner's Manual or application guide to verify compatibility).
The system consists of a sensor and receiver. The receiver
is only necessary when accompanied by a wireless sensor.
The sensor must be placed in an area where it can receive
full sun and rain exposure. The receiver is installed next to
or attached to your Hunter controller. The Solar Sync sensor
measures solar radiation and temperature and calculates
the daily evapotranspiration (ET) factor for irrigation. This
represents the amount of water lost by the plants due to
local climatic conditions, which needs to be replaced by
irrigation. The Solar Sync sensor also includes a Hunter
Wired Solar Sync
4
Rain-Clik rain sensor that will automatically shut down
the irrigation system during rain events, thus preventing
unwanted irrigation when it is raining.
Enter a midsummer watering program in your controller
per the programming instructions in the Owner's Manual
provided with your controller. The Solar Sync receives
data from the sensor and applies it daily to the controller's
water schedule by adjusting the controller's programmed
irrigation run times through the seasonal adjustment
feature in the controller.
