Brand: Hunter Industries SKU: PHC-1200
Product Overview
The Hunter PHC-1200 Pro-HC is a fixed 12-station Wi-Fi irrigation controller with an indoor/outdoor plastic cabinet and integrated Hydrawise software access. It gives homeowners and irrigation professionals remote scheduling, weather-based watering adjustments, system alerts, and manual control from a compatible smartphone, tablet, or web browser.
A full-color touchscreen supports programming and manual operation at the controller even when Wi-Fi is unavailable. Hydrawise can use local weather information to adjust watering, while optional flow monitoring and sensor inputs help identify abnormal water use, broken piping, valve problems, or weather conditions that should interrupt irrigation.

Compatibility and Installation Notes
A reliable 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection is required for Hydrawise online features. Conventional 24 VAC irrigation valves connect to the station terminals. Optional flow meters and sensors are sold separately and must be selected, wired, and configured for the intended alert or shutdown function. A pump motor must not be connected directly to the controller; use a properly rated pump start relay.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the PHC-1200 be programmed without Wi-Fi?
Yes. The touchscreen supports local programming and manual operation, although Hydrawise remote and weather-based features require network access.
Can more than 12 stations be added?
No. The PHC-1200 is a fixed 12-station Pro-HC model rather than a modular expansion controller.
Does it include a flow meter?
No. Compatible flow meters and other sensors are optional accessories sold separately.
