Overview

The Solar Sync Sensor is an advanced weather sensor that calculates evapotranspiration (ET) and adjusts Hunter controllers daily based upon onsite weather conditions. Solar Sync measures sunlight and temperature, and uses ET to determine the correct seasonal adjustment percentage value to send to the controller. The controller then uses its programmed run time and adjusts to Solar Sync’s seasonal adjustment value to modify the actual irrigation run time for that day. In addition, the Solar Sync sensor integrates Hunter’s popular Rain-Click™ and Freeze-Clik® sensors providing quick response in shutting down your irrigation system during rain and/or freezing conditions. The Solar Sync is compatible with most Hunter controllers and applicable to residences, businesses, and municipalities alike.

The Solar Sync continually gathers on-site solar and temperature data used in the calculation of evapotranspiration (ET), then determines watering requirements.

The module automatically calculates water requirements and makes adjustments taking into account your regional weather characteristics.

Sleek – Compact sensor design.

Simple – Easy installation and programming.

Smart – Automatically adjusts controller watering for increased efficiency.

Synchronous – Integrates seamlessly with compatible Hunter controllers.

Passing showers require a sensor that can react quickly. The built-in Quick Response feature does just that. For soaking showers, the adjustable Rain-Clik sensor ensures your lawn isn’t watered unnecessarily. Let the sun shine in. The solar sensor measures the sun’s rays to keep your lawn at peak performance with optimal watering. Air temperature is monitored and used to calculate watering requirements.

Too hot? Solar Sync knows to be efficient and waters your lawn as needed.

Freezing morning? Keep those mittens off, because below 3° C, Solar Sync smartly waits for warmer temperatures.

Now smart, weather-based control is available in every Hunter controller category. X-Core and ACC controllers have the Solar Sync software built in and do not require the module. Pro-C, PCC, ICC, and I-Core controllers require use of the Solar Sync module. Wireless receiver can be wall-mounted, or on the side of the controller using an available knockout (not available on some controllers)
