INTRODUCTION .......................................................................................................................
Finally, there’s an affordable controller for your home.
Hunter Industries is pleased to present the SRC Plus – a Simple and Reliable Controller for residential applications. Designed with the needs of the
customer in mind, the SRC Plus offers simplified dial programming and an impressive range of features typically found in controllers costing twice
as much.
While it’s affordable, the SRC Plus is without a doubt a professional grade product. The controller’s large, handsome cabinet, complete with a
protective door, provides your controller with a neat and professional appearance. And, the SRC Pl us is filled with the essential features that
landscapes demand (like a rain sensor bypass circuit and primary power surge protection), but without some of the unnecessary frills that often lead
to contractor call back.
The SRC Pl us is so easy to use that after reading this User Guide thoroughly, you will need it very little after installation. We have also included an
abbreviated instruction sheet inside the door of the controller for quick reference later on. After a few uses of this controller, you can be sure the
SRC Plus is a product that does the job efficiently and economically.
The SRC Pl us is an improved version of the original SRC Plus . Additional features and improvements include:
• Non-volatile memory
• More robust circuitry
• One touch manual start and advance
• Hunter Quick Check™
• Automatic Short Circuit Protection

This section will give you a brief overview of some of the components
on the SRC Pl us faceplate. Each item will be discussed in further detail
later, however this section can be helpful in getting acquainted with the
different options available.
A – LCD Display
Start Time – Identifies selected start time (only one start time per
program is required).
Program Designator – Identifies program in use A, B, or C.
Station Number – Identifies currently selected station number.
LCD Display – Indicates various times and values.
Run Time – Duration of individual stations watering.
Year – Current calendar year.
Month – Current calendar month.
Day – Current calendar day.
Running – Indicates when watering is occurring.
AM/PM – Arrow differentiates either
24 HR – 24-hour time is available in addition to
Day of the Week – Identifies days of the week to water or you can
select to water on odd or even days.
(For all above LCD display items, when an arrow cursor is flashing,
that is what you are setting.)
AM or PM time.
AM and PM.
B – Control Buttons
Button – Increases the selected flashing display.
Button – Decreases the selected flashing display.
Button – Advances the selected flashing display.
Button – Selects program A, B, or C.
C – Transformer
A 120 VAC Plug-in transformer (included in SRC -600i and 900i models)
supplies 24 VAC to the controller.
D – Control Dial
A key feature of the SRC Plus is its clear, easy-to-use dial design that
makes programming a snap. All essential keypad functions are clearly
marked to eliminate the confusion that’s a characteristic of so many
other controllers.
Run – Normal dial position for automatic and manual operation.
Run (Bypass Sensor) – Used to disengage optional weather sensor
that may be wired to your system.
Set Current Date/Time – Allows current date and clock time to be set.
Set Program Start Times – Allows 1 to 4 start times to be enabled in
each program.
Set Station Run Times – Allows user to set each station run time from
0 to 99 minutes.
Set Days To Water – Allows user to select individual days to water or
to select an odd or even watering schedule, according to the date.
Manual – Single Station – Allows user to activate a one time watering
of a single station.
Manual – All Station – Allows user to activate a one time watering of
all stations or a few selected stations.
System Off – Allows user to discontinue all programs and stop all
watering until dial is returned to the RUN position.
E – Wiring Compartment
Reset Button – This button will reset the controller. All programmed
data will remain intact.
9-Volt Battery – The alkaline batter y will maintain the controller
memory if power to the transformer is disconnected. However, the
battery will not operate any of the watering activity (not included).
Transformer – The two wires from the plug-in transformer are
connected to the two AC terminals.
Terminal Strip Area – Use to attach transformer and valve wires from
their source to the controller.

NOTE: The SRC Plus is not water or weather resistant.
The controller must me installed indoors or in a
protected area.
1. Select a location as close as possible to a standard electrical outlet,
one that is not controlled by a light switch. The location should be
protected from moisture and direct sunlight.
2. Remove the mounting bracket (
housing by pulling the bracket down and slightly away from
the unit.
3. Place the mounting bracket slightly below eye level. Using the hole
at the top and the slide cutout at the bottom, secure the bracket with
the 1" (25mm) screws (
attaching mounting bracket to drywall or masonry.
4. Align slotted openings on back of controller housing (C) with rails
on the mounting bracket (
position on the bracket.
5. Secure controller in place by installing a screw through the lower
central mounting hole.

CONNECTING VALVES AND TRANSFORMER ....................................................................
1. Route control wires between control valve location and controller.
Typically it is recommended that an 18 AWG multi-wire sprinkler
connection cable be used. This type of connection is insulated for
burial and is color-coded to help keep track of your connections.
2. At the valves, attach the common wire to either solenoid wire of the
valve. This is most commonly the white colored wire. Attach a
separate control wire to the remaining solenoid wire and make a
note of the color corresponding to each valve and the watering
station it controls.
3. Secure the wires with a waterproof wire connector to protect
the connection.
4. Open hinged wiring compartment door to access the terminal strip
area shown in the diagram.
5. Route the valve wires through the large opening on the base of the
cabinet or through ½ inch conduit if installed. Strip ¼ inch of
insulation from ends of all wires.
6. Secure the white valve common wire to the screw on the terminal
marked
C. With the valve common wire connected, connect the
color-coded wires from the valves to their appropriate station
numbers and tighten the screws.
7. Route transformer cable through the small hole in the bottom of the
cabinet and connect the wires to the two screws marked AC
NOTE: Do not plug transformer into power source

been connected.

CONNECTING THE BATTERY .................................................................................................
The battery allows you to program the SRC Plu s Controller without
having AC power available. However, the battery will not be able to
activate any of the station valves. Electrical power must resume before
watering will continue. The SRC P lus has non-volatile memor y which
retains all program information in the event of a power outage.
CONNECTING A MASTER VALVE ..........................................................................................
NOTE: Complete this section only if you have
a master valve installed. A master valve is a
normally closed valve installed at the supply
point of the main line that opens only when
the automatic system is activated.
1. At the Master Valve, attach the common wire to either
solenoid wire of the valve. Attach a separate control wire to
the remaining solenoid wire and make a note of the color
corresponding to the master valve.
2. Route these wires to the controller the same way as the
station valves. The white common wire will still go to the
screw slot marked
master valve will go in the screw slot marked MV
