Hunter 44006620 Dual 2 Station Decoder Irrigation

Product Description

The HUNTER 44006620 is a 2-station plug-in decoder designed for use with the Hunter I-Core irrigation controller as part of the DUAL two-wire system. It allows irrigation zones to be wired and controlled over a single pair of wires, reducing the volume of wire runs and labor required compared to conventional multi-conductor wiring. The DUAL system supports up to 48 zones total over a single wire path or across multiple branched paths, with wire runs extending up to 7,500 feet. This decoder is installed by irrigation technicians and licensed landscape contractors working on commercial and residential systems.

The 44006620 decoder is suited for new installations and retrofits where reducing wiring complexity is a priority. It plugs into the DUAL two-wire bus connected to an I-Core controller, making it compatible with existing I-Core infrastructure. Zones can be distributed along a single path or split across multiple paths to follow pipe trenches, giving installers flexibility on larger properties or job sites with irregular layouts. Up to 48 total zones can be managed across the system using these decoders.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified irrigation technician or licensed contractor familiar with low-voltage control wiring. Shut off the irrigation controller and disconnect power before connecting or disconnecting decoder units on the two-wire path. Follow local codes and the controller manufacturer wiring guidelines for maximum path length and decoder load per circuit. Do not exceed the system maximum of 48 zones across all decoders on a single I-Core controller.
