The Hunter Wireless Valve Controller (WVC) is a battery-powered, radio programmable controller that can operate up to
two (WVC-200) or four valves (WVC-400). Hunter’s Wireless Battery powered irrigation systems are ideal for commercial/
municipal applications such as street and highway landscaping, medians, parks, construction sites, and other areas that
do not have access to power.

All programming and manual operations with the WVC are accomplished with the Wireless Valve Programmer (WVP). The
WVP is a hand-held programmer that allows you to create programs and conduct manual operations with WVC controllers
in the field. Because the WVP retrieves and transmits data via radio signals, you never have to open a valve box to check
the status or program your controllers.

The following instructions provide information on installing and setting up your WVC. Additional programming instructions
can be found in the WVP Owner’s Manual.
