Brand: Hunter Industries SKU: XC-400
Product Overview
The Hunter XC-400 is a fixed four-station X-Core irrigation controller with a 120 VAC internal transformer, power cord, and plastic outdoor wall-mount enclosure. It is designed for residential sprinkler systems that need straightforward local programming, reliable control of up to four conventional irrigation zones, and compatibility with selected Hunter weather sensors and handheld remote accessories.
The controller provides three independent programs, four start times per program, and station run times up to four hours. Cycle and Soak can divide long watering periods into shorter applications to help manage slopes or slower-absorbing soils. Delay Between Stations supports slow-closing valves or water-supply recovery, while Seasonal Adjustment changes overall watering duration without requiring each station time to be rewritten.
QuickCheck diagnostics help locate field-wiring faults, and automatic short-circuit protection skips a damaged station while allowing the remaining program to continue. Easy Retrieve memory stores a preferred irrigation schedule for later restoration. The XC-400 is a locally programmed controller and does not support WAND, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Hydrawise management.
