Step 1: Install the Valve
Plumb the included 1" Hunter PGV valve into your irrigation mainline. Ensure the directional flow arrow on the valve body points toward your drip emitters or sprinklers.

Unscrew the waterproof battery compartment on the NODE module and install one fresh 9-volt alkaline battery. Secure the cap tightly to maintain the waterproof seal.
Step 3: Mount the Controller
The NODE-100 mounts directly to the top of the valve's DC latching solenoid using the integrated rubber cover bracket. No screws or drills are required.
Step 4: Program via LCD
Use the controller's rubberized push buttons and LCD screen to set the current time and day. From there, easily map out your watering days, programs, and run times.
Does the Hunter NODE-100 require an electrical outlet?
No, the Hunter NODE-100 is completely battery-operated. It runs on a single 9-volt alkaline battery, meaning it requires no AC power or hardwiring to function.
This makes it the perfect controller for remote locations, highway medians, or properties undergoing construction.
Do I need a smartphone to program the Hunter NODE-100?
No, this model does not require a smartphone or app. The Hunter NODE-100 features a built-in LCD screen and push-button interface for quick, easy programming right at the valve box.
If you are looking for a Bluetooth-enabled model that uses a smartphone app, you will want the Hunter NODE-BT.
Is the Hunter NODE-100 timer waterproof?
Yes, the Hunter NODE-100 features a completely waterproof enclosure seal that protects against water damage, making it fully submersible and safe for flooded underground valve boxes.
To maintain this protection, ensure the battery compartment cap is always screwed on tightly after replacing the battery.
How should I prepare my Hunter NODE-100 for spring watering?
To prepare the Hunter NODE-100 for spring, install a fresh 9-volt alkaline battery, test the valve operation using the manual button, and set a conservative watering schedule.
If your region experiences heavy spring rainfall, you can use the controller's suspension feature to pause automatic irrigation for up to 99 days.
