Brand: Hunter Industries SKU: NODE100
Product Overview
The Hunter NODE-100 is a single-station, battery-operated irrigation controller supplied with one DC-latching solenoid. It provides automatic watering control at isolated valves where AC power and conventional controller wiring are unavailable. The waterproof controller mounts at or near the valve and uses Hunter's familiar button-and-LCD programming interface rather than requiring a network connection.
One or two 9V alkaline batteries power the controller throughout the irrigation season, while three independent programs and four start times per program support lawns, drip zones, gardens, medians, and remote planting areas. The included latching solenoid makes this the complete single-station controller-and-solenoid configuration rather than the NODE-100-LS controller-only model.

Compatibility and Installation Notes
The NODE operates DC-latching solenoids only; standard 24 VAC solenoids are not compatible. Use waterproof wire connectors, observe the red station and black common leads, and keep the controller-to-solenoid wiring within Hunter's published distance and wire-gauge limits. Batteries are required for operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the NODE100 include a solenoid?
Yes. Hunter identifies the NODE-100 as the single-station controller supplied with a DC-latching solenoid.
Does it use Bluetooth or Wi-Fi?
No. The original NODE is programmed from its built-in display and buttons. Choose a NODE-BT model when smartphone Bluetooth control is preferred.
Can it operate a 24 VAC solenoid?
No. It requires a compatible 9–11 VDC latching solenoid.
Why Buy the Hunter NODE100 from Big Frog Supply?
The NODE100 includes the controller and correct latching solenoid for a single-valve installation, avoiding the controller-only package confusion that can occur with NODE-100-LS. Big Frog Supply also carries replacement batteries, waterproof connectors, valves, and Hunter control components for the installation.
