Product Description

HUNTER X-CORE 4/6/8 STATION OUTDOOR CONTROLLER

THE “SMART” CHOICE FOR ENTRY-LEVEL RESIDENTIAL CONTROL This entry-level residential controller offers simple operation with “smart” Solar Sync compatibility. With easy-to-configure control for up to 4/6/8 stations, including 3 programs and 4 start times each, the X-Core is the perfect solution for residential applications.

Plugin the revolutionary Solar Sync ET sensor and the X-Core is converted into a “smart controller” that regulates irrigation run times based on locally measured weather. X-Core is also compatible with Hunter remotes for quick, wireless activation of irrigation. Installation, operation and maintenance are designed to be simple while still delivering optimal efficiency and reliability.

EASY RETRIEVE™ MEMORY

A manual back-up utility that stores complete controller scheduling and setup information in back-up memory. This allows the saved watering schedule to be restored at any time. This can be used to set a controller back to its initial settings after tampering or at the beginning of a new season.

PROGRAMMABLE RAIN DELAY

The Programmable Rain Delay feature incorporates a user-specified number of days to keep the controller in the OFF mode, then allows for the system to automatically revert back to scheduled irrigation. This will prevent watering during an extended period of inclement weather but will resume watering automatically without requiring a return visit to the controller. The controller displays the number of days remaining before watering resumes.

QUICK CHECK™

The QuickCheck feature makes field wiring issues easy to assess with the push of a button. QuickCheck displays an ERR message when a field wiring short is detected on a particular station number.

NON-VOLATILE MEMORY

This feature offers protection against unreliable power, retaining current time, date, and program data.

AUTOMATIC SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION

Automatic short circuit protection is a feature found in all Hunter AC powered controllers. This feature automatically detects electrical faults, which are typically caused by wiring issues. Only affected stations are skipped, allowing all other stations to water normally as programmed. There are no fuses to blow or internal circuit breakers to trip, so a complete irrigation system shutdown is avoided.

SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT: GLOBAL OR AUTOMATIC UPDATES WITH SOLAR SYNC

This feature allows for quick adjustments to irrigation run times through a percentage scale. During peak season, set the seasonal adjustment to 100%. If weather conditions require less water, enter the appropriate percentage value (i.e. 50%) to cut down irrigation run times without the need to adjust each station in the program. This model offers two different ways to use Seasonal Adjustment to reduce water usage: Global and Daily

Hunter X-Core Outdoor Irrigation Controller

The Hunter X-Core outdoor controller provides straightforward automatic irrigation for 4, 6 or 8 station residential watering systems. Its weather-resistant enclosure suits outdoor installation and offers dependable scheduling for lawns, garden beds, sprinklers and drip irrigation.

X-Core supports rain-sensor input and Hunter Solar Sync compatibility for weather-responsive adjustment, but it is not a Wi-Fi controller. For optional smart control, compare the Hunter X2 Wi-Fi-ready controller or browse all irrigation controllers.
