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: Make sure 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 two standard 9-volt batteries (not included) to

operate the valves and program the controller. The controller can

operate using either a single 9-volt battery or using two 9-volt

batteries. Under normal conditions, the expected life is 1 year for a

single battery and two years when using two 9-volt batteries.

NOTE: The NODE has non-volatile memory

which allows for the battery to be removed

without losing program information.

CONNECTING THE BATTERY/BATTERIES

Common Wire (Black Leads)

ENG

ATTACHING SOLENOIDS

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

controller. The NODE-200, NODE-400, and NODE-600 multi-station

controllers will operate up to 2, 4, or 6 solenoids, respectively.

Hunter DC solenoids (P/N 458200) can easily be installed on all

Hunter Plastic Valves.

NOTE: Must use DC Latching Solenoids

operating between 9-11VDC. 24VAC 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 ft/30 m (18 gauge

minimum wire size).

Station Wire (Red Leads)

Mounting Clip

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)

1. Unscrew the existing solenoid from the valve.

2. Screw the Hunter DC latching solenoid (P/N 458200) into the

valve bonnet.

3. Attach the large end of the valve mounting clip to the middle

of the NODE body.

4. Snap the small end of the valve mounting clip to the solenoid.

A Hunter Mini-Clik®or 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 ft (30 m) from

the NODE controller (18AWG/1.0 mm minimum wire size).

3. Secure wire connections with waterproof connectors.

CONNECTING A WEATHER SENSOR

NOTE: When the Rain Sensor is interrupting the

watering, the display will show the System Off

icon , “OFF” and on the display.

MOUNTING THE NODE

ENG

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. During a short period of inactivity the display will shut off

to retain battery power. Pressing any button will wake up the NODE

to the Idle Mode.

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

display will include the station number, program letter, remaining

runtime, and the blinking Rotor icon.

The NODE uses standard Hunter controller programming with 3

programs (A, B, C) and 4 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.

Setting the Date and Time

1. Push the button until the icon is displayed.

2. All 4 digits will be displayed representing the year. Use the

or buttons to change the year. Press the button to

proceed to setting the month.

3. All 4 digits will be displayed with the two digits on the left

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 button 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 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

ENG

6. All 4 numbers are shown with the two numbers on the left

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

change the hour. Press the button to proceed to setting

the minutes.

7. All 4 numbers are shown with the two numbers on the right

ashing, representing the minutes. Use the or buttons

to change the minutes. Pressing the button will advance

to the year setting at step #2.

8. Press the button to proceed to the next programming

function or allow controller to return to idle mode.

Setting Watering Start Times

1. Press the button until the icon is displayed.

2. The start time will be displayed ashing, along with the

program letter (A, B, or C) and the start time number (1, 2, 3,

or 4) in the upper left of the display. Up to 4 different 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 15 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 left corner of the display.

5. Press the button to add start times to a different program.

6. Press the button to proceed to the next programming

function or allow controller to return to idle mode.

NOTE: After programming the run time for the

last station press the button to display the

total run time for the program.

Setting the Run Times

1. Press the button until the icon is displayed.

2. The run time will be displayed ashing. Also shown is the

program letter (A, B, or C) and the active station # on the lower

left side of the display. Press the or button to change

the station run time from 1 minute to 6 hours.

3. Press the button to advance to the next station.

4. Press the button to add a run time to another program.

5. Press the button to proceed to the next programming

function or allow controller to return to idle mode.
