SYSTEM OVERVIEW AND OPERATION
The Wireless Solar Sync System is simply and easily installed on any compatible Hunter Irrigation controller (see Owner’s Manual to verify
compatibility). The Wireless 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 climate conditions, which needs to be replaced by
irrigation. The Wireless Solar Sync also includes Hunter Rain-Clik™ and Freeze-Clik
®
sensors that will automatically shut down the irrigation
system during rain events or freezing conditions.
Enter a mid summer watering program in your controller per the programming instructions in the Owner’s Manual provided with your
controller. The Wireless Solar Sync Sensor sends weather data and applies it daily to the controller’s water schedule by adjusting the
controller through the seasonal adjust feature.
This Owner’s Manual applies to the following kits:
• WSS: Wireless Solar Sync kit for Hunter Pro-C, PCC, ICC, and I-Core controllers
• WSSSEN*: Wireless Solar Sync kit for Hunter ACC and X-Core controllers
* Note that WSSSEN does not include the Solar Sync Module. The ACC and X-Core controllers have the Solar Sync software built in and do
not require the Solar Sync Module. Therefore, the WSSSEN should be used with the ACC and X-Core Controllers.
The Solar Sync is a sensor system that, when connected to a
compatible Hunter controller, will automatically adjust your
controller watering based upon changes in local climate conditions.
The Solar Sync utilizes a solar and temperature sensor to measure
on-site weather conditions used to determine evapotranspiration
(ET), or the rate at which plants and turf use water. In addition, Solar
Sync includes a Hunter Rain-Clik™ and Freeze-Clik™ sensor that
will shut down your irrigation system when it rains and/or during
freezing conditions.
INTRODUCTION
A small module connects the sensor to the controller and will
automatically increase or decrease watering run times based on
changes in weather. The result is a new water-efficient irrigation
product that promotes water conservation and healthier plants.
You simply program your controller like you normally would, and
the Solar Sync takes over from there, eliminating the need to
manually adjust your watering schedule.
