To Install the Battery/Batteries

1. Unscrew the rear body of the NODE body to gain access to the

battery compartment.

2. Insert the battery/batteries into the battery tray and connect to

the controller using the battery connector.

3. Make sure that no water is inside the battery compartment.

4. Screw the NODE rear body back onto the front half.

NOTE: Verify that the seal marker on the rear half

of the NODE lines up with the front half, ensuring

that a proper seal is created.

The NODE uses one or two standard nine-volt batteries (not included)

to operate the valves and program the controller. The controller can

operate using either a single nine-volt battery or using two nine-volt

batteries. Under normal conditions, the expected life is one year for a

single battery and two years when using two nine-volt batteries.

NOTE: The NODE has non-volatile memory. This

allows the battery to be removed without losing

program information.

CONNECTING THE BATTERY/BATTERIES

Common Wire (Black Leads)

ATTACHING SOLENOIDS

The NODE-100 is provided with a solenoid attached to the controller.

The NODE-100-LS does not include a solenoid. The NODE-200,

NODE-400, and NODE-600 multi-station controllers will operate up to

two, four, or six solenoids, respectively. Hunter DC-latching solenoids

(P/N 458200) can easily be installed on all Hunter plastic valves.

NOTE: Use DC latching solenoids operating

between 9-11 VDC. 24 VAC solenoids will not

operate with the NODE.

To Wire DC Solenoids to the NODE

1. Attach the black leads from each solenoid to the single common

wire (black lead) coming from the NODE. Secure all wire

connections with waterproof connectors.

2. Attach one red wire from each solenoid to the corresponding

station wire (red lead) from the NODE. The station numbers are

identied on the face of the NODE. Secure all wire connections

with waterproof connectors.

NOTE: The maximum wire distance between the

solenoid and NODE is 100' (30 m) using 18 AWG

(1 mm) minimum wire size.

Station Wire (Red Leads)

Figure 1 Hunter Model Mini-Clik®

The NODE can easily be mounted on any Hunter plastic valve. A

specially designed valve mounting clip makes installation a snap. A

protective rubber cover is provided to prevent dirt from accumulating

on the face of the NODE.

To Mount the NODE to a Valve (Figure 1)

. Screw the Hunter DC latching solenoid (P/N ) into

the valve bonnet.

. Set the small open end of the NODE holder on top of the solenoid.

. Set the NODE controller into the large open end of the

NODE holder.

A Hunter Mini-Clik®or Wired Rain-Clik®rain sensor can be connected

to the NODE. The purpose of this sensor is to stop watering when

weather conditions dictate.

1. Cut the yellow wire loop attached to the NODE at approximately

the middle of the loop.

2. Remove approximately ½" (13 mm) of insulation from each wire.

Attach one yellow wire to each of the wires of the weather sensor.

You can mount the rain sensor up to 100  (30 m) from the NODE

controller (18 AWG/1 mm minimum wire size).

3. Secure wire connections with waterproof connectors.

CONNECTING A WEATHER SENSOR

NOTE: When the Wired Rain Sensor is interrupting

the watering, the display will show the System O

icon , “OFF” and on the display.

MOUNTING THE NODE

NODE holder

IDLE MODE

RUN MODE

Normally, the NODE display shows the time and day, day of the

week, MV (if master valve option is activated), and the battery-life

indicator. Aer a short period of inactivity, the display will shut o to

retain battery power. Pressing any button will bring the NODE into

idle mode.

When the controller is operating a program, the items shown on the

display will include the station number, program letter, remaining

run time, and the blinking Rotor icon.

The NODE uses standard Hunter controller programming with three

programs (A, B, or C) and four start times per program. On standard

Hunter controllers a dial is used to scroll between the programming

functions. However, on the NODE the button is used to quickly

and easily create the irrigation program. When programming, the

ashing portion of the display can be changed by pressing the or

buttons. To change something that is not ashing, press the or

buttons until the desired item is ashing.

3. All four digits will be displayed with the two digits on the le

representing the month ashing. Use the or buttons to

change the month. Press the button to proceed to setting

the day.

4. Only the two digits on the right side will be displayed and ashing,

representing the day. Press the or buttons to change the

day. Press the button to proceed with changing the hour. Press

the button to proceed to setting the time.

5. The AM/PM/24-hour time setting is shown ashing. Press the

or button to change the time setting to AM, PM, or 24-hour

time. Press the button to proceed to setting the hour.

PROGRAMMING

6. All four numbers are shown with the two numbers on the le

ashing, representing the hour. Use the or buttons to

upper le of the display. Up to 4 dierent start times can be set for

each program.

3. Use the or buttons to change the start time for the program

that is displayed. Each press of the button will change the start

time in one-minute increments.

4. Press the button to add an additional start time to the program

displayed. The start time number is shown in the upper le corner

of the display.
