Mounting The Controller; Connecting Valves And Transformer; Activating The Battery - Hunter XC Owners Manual And Programming Instructions

MOUnTInG THE COnTROLLER TO WALL
NOTE: The indoor XC is not waterproof or weather resis-
tant, and must be installed indoors or in a protected
1. Secure one screw into the wall. Install screw anchors if attaching
to drywall or masonry wall.
2. Slide the keyhole on top of the controller over the screw.
3. Secure the controller in place by installing screws in the holes
below the terminal strip.
Do not plug transformer into power source until controller
is mounted and all valve wiring has been connected.

COnnECTInG VALVEs AnD TRAnsFORMER

Installation of the XC should only be done by trained personnel.
1. Route valve wires between the control valve location and
controller.
2. At valves, attach a common wire to either solenoid wire on all
valves. This is most commonly a white colored wire. Attach a
separate control wire to the remaining wire of each valve. All wire
connections should be done using waterproof connectors.
3. Route the valve wires through the conduit. Attach the conduit
through the bottom right side of the controller.
5. Secure the white valve common wire to the C (Common) screw on
the terminal strip. Attach each of the individual valve control wires to
the appropriate station terminals and tighten their screws.
6. Indoor Models: route the transformer cable through the hole on
the left side of the controller and connect the wires to the two
area.
screws marked 24VAC.
Outdoor Models: transformer wires are already connected to the
AC terminals so all that is required is to connect primary power to
the junction box (see below).
E – High Voltage Wiring (Outdoor Model only)
NOTE: XC outdoor models are water and weather resis-
tant. Connecting the outdoor XC to primary AC power
should only be done by a licensed electrician following
all local codes. Improper installation could result in
shock or fire hazard.
1. Route AC power cable and conduit through the ½" (13mm) conduit
opening on the left side bottom of the cabinet.
2. Connect one wire to each of the two wires inside the junction box.
The ground wire should be connected to the green wire. Wire nuts
are provided to make these connections. Note: For –E models only:
Connect the wires to the AC terminal block inside the junction box.
AC supply wires must be 14 AWG (1.85 mm) or larger with
appropriate circuit breaker for the wire size. A switch or circuit-
breaker shall be included in the building installation (in close
proximity to the controller, within easy reach of the operator) and
marked as the disconnecting device for the equipment.
3. Replace the junction box cover.
ACTIVATInG THE BATTER
After installing your XC make sure to remove the bat-
tery contact insulator to allow the XC to keep time in
the event of a power outage.
