Hunter XC Hybrid Battery Operated DC Irrigation Controller

The Hunter XC Hybrid controller delivers the performance of a full-featured irrigation controller in a flexible, battery-powered design—perfect for remote or power-restricted locations. Using DC latching solenoid technology, the XC Hybrid ensures reliable irrigation management for residential and light commercial applications without the need for mains power.

Available in 6- or 12-station models with plastic or vandal-resistant stainless-steel enclosures, the XC Hybrid can also be equipped with a factory-installed solar panel for continuous, maintenance-free operation. Whether powered by batteries, solar, or an optional AC transformer, it provides reliable programming and water savings in parks, gardens, roadway medians, roundabouts, or other hard-to-reach sites.

The controller offers three independent irrigation programs with four start times each, seasonal adjustment, programmable rain delay, and a rugged waterproof body for dependable outdoor installation. With features such as Easy Retrieve™ memory backup, programmable sensor override, and manual run options, users enjoy both convenience and flexibility in managing irrigation schedules.
