Brand: Hunter Industries SKU: NODE200
Product Overview
The Hunter NODE-200 is a two-station, battery-operated irrigation controller for remote valve locations without AC power or conventional control wiring. It can operate two compatible DC-latching solenoids and is supplied without solenoids, allowing the installer to select the correct components for the valves already installed on site.
The waterproof controller mounts in or near the valve box and uses a built-in LCD and buttons for programming. Three independent programs, four start times per program, run times up to six hours, manual operation, programmable off, and master-valve capability provide flexible control for gardens, drip zones, medians, and other isolated two-zone systems.

Compatibility and Installation Notes
Two compatible DC-latching solenoids are required and sold separately. Use the Hunter 458200 DC-latching solenoid with compatible Hunter plastic valves. Do not connect standard 24 VAC solenoids.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does NODE200 include solenoids?
No. Hunter identifies NODE-200 as a two-station controller with the DC-latching solenoids ordered separately.
Can it be programmed from a phone?
No. The original NODE uses its built-in LCD and buttons. The NODE-BT-200 is the Bluetooth smartphone-controlled version.
Can one battery be used?
Yes. The NODE can operate from one or two 9V alkaline batteries; using two can extend service life.
Why Buy the Hunter NODE200 from Big Frog Supply?
The NODE200 gives two nearby valves independent battery-powered control without trenching back to an AC controller. Big Frog Supply identifies the controller-only package and links the required Hunter DC-latching solenoid so the complete installation can be planned correctly.
