Pro-C Controller Components

Outdoor model is water- and weather-resistant.

Connecting the outdoor Pro-C Controller to the

primary power should be done by a licensed

electrician following all local codes. Improper

installation could result in shock or re hazard. This

device is not intended for use by young children.

Never let children play with this device.

Note

hunter.help/P2C

Mounting the Controller to a Wall

All necessary hardware is included for indoor and

outdoor installations.

1. Use the hole at the top of the controller as a reference

and secure a 1" (25 mm) screw into the wall. Note: Install

screw anchors if attaching to drywall or masonry wall.

2. Align controller with the screw and slide the keyhole

on top of the controller over the screw.

3. Secure controller in place by installing screws in the

holes.

Always use UL Listed ½" (13 mm) conduit with male

adapter when installing AC wiring. Pro-C Controllers

are intended to be supplied AC power with a 15 A

rated overcurrent protected device.

To be performed by a licensed electrician only.

Outdoor Cabinet

P2C models are prewired with a power cord and plug for

simple installations in both indoor and outdoor applications.

If the controller is to be powered by direct line voltage,

follow these wiring instructions:

1. Route AC power cable and conduit through the

½" (13 mm) conduit opening on the le side of the

cabinet bottom.

2. Connect the wires to the transformer wires located inside

the junction box. Always use a UL Listed conduit ½"

(13 mm) male adapter when installing the AC wiring.

3. Insert the adapter into the ½" (13 mm) hole at the bottom

of the controller. Attach a nut to the adapter inside the

enclosure.

Installing Station Modules

The Pro-C Controller is supplied with a factory-installed

base module for up to 4 stations. Additional modules may

be added in increments of 3 stations (PCM-300),

9 stations (PCM-900), or 16 stations (PCM-1600). In total,

a conventionally wired system can be expanded up to

23 stations. Additional modules are sold separately.

The Pro-C Controller is also compatible with the EZ Decoder

System (EZDS) for hybrid conventional and two-wire

operations. Add a Pro-C Decoder Module (PC-DM) to enable

control for up to 32 total stations. This system uses the same

EZ-1 Decoders used with ICC2, HCC, and HPC Controllers.

For more installation and programming details, please refer

to the PC-DM Installation Guide.

Installing PCM Modules

The Pro-C Controller is designed with a simple-to-use

Power Lock feature that ensures the modules are energized

and rmly secured into the controller. The Power Lock

can unlock or lock all modules at the same time by simply

pushing the Power Lock slide.

1. Slide the Power Lock into the Power O (unlocked)

position. Insert the PCM modules into the appropriate

sequential position in the controller cabinet.

2. Once all of the modules are in place, slide the

Power Lock into the Power On (locked) position to

energize and secure the modules into the controller.

3. The Pro-C Controller will automatically recognize the

correct number of stations. It is not necessary to press

the reset button on the back of the facepack or cycle

power to the controller.

Built on Innovation®

1. Route valve wires between control valve location

and controller.

2. At valves, attach a Common wire to either solenoid wire

of all valves. This is most commonly a white wire. Attach

a separate control wire to the remaining wire of each

valve. All wire splice connections should be done using

waterproof connectors.

3. Route valve wires through the conduit and attach the

conduit to one of the openings on the cabinet bottom.

4. Strip ½" (13 mm) of insulation from ends of all wires.

Secure the valve Common wire to COM (Common)

terminal. Attach all individual valve control wires to the

appropriate station terminals.
