Professional-Grade Irrigation Control with Easy Expansion

The Hunter ICC2 8-Station Base Model Controller (Plastic, Indoor/Outdoor) is a trusted, commercial-grade choice among professional landscapers and property managers. Designed to handle diverse and growing landscapes, this AC-powered controller comes equipped with 8 base stations but features a modular design that easily expands up to 38 stations within its durable plastic housing. When wired to standard 24V AC irrigation valves, the ICC2 provides robust, reliable automation for extensive commercial, residential, or municipal drip and sprinkler systems.

Engineered for ultimate flexibility, the ICC2 offers 4 independent automatic programs (with 8 start times each) and can run two programs simultaneously for highly efficient watering windows. Need to manage low-flow drip zones? The generous 12-hour maximum station run time handles it effortlessly. Furthermore, this forward-thinking controller is fully compatible with Hunter's Centralus Irrigation Management Software and can be easily upgraded to use Hydrawise cloud software via a convenient plug-in kit, ensuring your system stays ahead of the technology curve.

Why Choose the Hunter ICC2 Controller?
  • Highly Expandable: Starts with 8 stations and easily expands up to 38 stations in the plastic wall-mount housing (or up to 54 in metal/pedestal models) using snap-in modules.
  • Simultaneous Operation: Capable of running any two of its four automatic programs at the exact same time to condense your overall watering windows.
  • Long Run Times: Features a massive 12-hour maximum station run time, providing immense flexibility for slow, deep-soaking drip irrigation zones.
  • Smart Software Ready: Fully compatible with Centralus Irrigation Management Software and forward-compatible with HCC/Hydrawise using an upgrade kit.
  • Dedicated Sensor Input: Features one dedicated input for use with Hunter Solar Sync or any standard Clik-type weather sensors.

How to Set Up: A Step-by-Step Guide

Get your commercial-grade modular controller running smoothly.

Step 1: Mount the Enclosure
Secure the plastic housing to an indoor or outdoor wall using appropriate mounting hardware. Ensure you have access to a 120V AC power source.

Step 2: Connect AC Power
Wire the controller's internal transformer to your 120V AC power supply according to local electrical codes. (Professional installation is recommended for hardwiring).

Step 3: Wire the Valves & Sensors
Run multi-strand irrigation wire from your 24V AC valve manifolds to the controller. Connect common wires to the 'C' terminal and individual valve wires to the numbered station terminals. Connect any Solar Sync or Clik sensors to the dedicated sensor input.

Step 4: Program & Expand
Use the intuitive dial and buttons to set your date, time, and watering programs. If you need more than 8 stations, simply snap in additional 4- or 8-station expansion modules into the open slots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Hunter ICC2 8-Station controller expandable?

✔ Compatibility Check

Please note the requirements for this AC-powered controller:

  • Power Source: Requires hardwired 120V AC power. It does not run on battery power like DC controllers.
  • Requires AC Valves: Must be paired with standard 24V AC irrigation valves. It will not operate DC latching solenoids.
  • Expansion Modules: To expand beyond the base 8 stations, you must purchase Hunter ICC2 expansion modules separately.

Ensure your multi-zone AC irrigation setup is ready to run with these recommended products:

  • 24V AC Irrigation Valves: Browse our selection of highly reliable AC inline valves to pair perfectly with your ICC2 controller.
  • 1/2" Mainline Tubing: The standard backbone for delivering water from your manifold directly to your landscape beds.
  • Pressure Regulators: Essential for dropping high municipal pressure down to safe operating levels for drip components.
