Hunter 44007601 1 Station Battery Irrigation Controller

Product Description

The HUNTER 44007601 is a single-station, battery-operated irrigation controller designed for isolated sites and power-restricted areas where running AC wiring is not practical. The unit mounts directly to a valve solenoid inside a standard valve box without screws, drilling, or additional wiring. Powered by one or two 9V batteries, it delivers reliable seasonal operation through a DC latching solenoid connection. The controller features an LCD screen for programming, supports 3 programs with 4 start times per program, and includes the ability to control a master valve. Its waterproof, plastic enclosure is built to withstand the moisture and debris typical of in-ground valve boxes.

This controller is suited for residential and light commercial irrigation applications where a dedicated power source is unavailable or impractical. Common install scenarios include remote landscape zones, median strips, parks, and other isolated irrigation sites. The Node-style mounting system eliminates the need for a separate controller enclosure or field wiring run, making it a practical choice for retrofit and new installations alike. Programming follows standard Hunter controller conventions, reducing the learning curve for technicians already familiar with Hunter systems.
