INTRODUCTION ...............................................................................................
The Wireless Valve Program me r (W VP) is par t of the Hunter wi reless battery powere d controller fa mily. T he WVP is a
hand-held programmer that allows you to create watering programs and conduct manual operat ions with Hunter Wireless
Valve Controllers (W VC) in the field. Because t he WVP retrieves and transmits data via radio sig nals, you never have to
open a valve box to check the status or program your c ontrollers .
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.
The WVP can r etrieve the cur rent program and battery life st at us of individual W VC controllers. Programming and
manua l ope rations are conducte d with t he pr ess of a button from up to 100 feet away from the WVC. The following
instructions pr ovide deta iled information on using your WV P. Please refer to your W VC Owner’s Manual for information
on installi ng and setting up your WVC control lers.
