DEPENDABLE SENSOR COMBINATIONS
Maximize Your Irrigation System Management
When paired with an irrigation system, irrigation sensors ensure proper
function, prevent damage, and increase water-use efficiency.
Combining sensors is a key practice utilized to maximize irrigation system
management. Consider combining an atmospheric sensor, such as a rain, freeze,
or wind sensor, with a soil moisture sensor to prevent irrigation
fromoccurring when not needed.
By pairing an ET sensor input with a soil moisture sensor, you can maximize
your water savings within any project.
Adding flow sensing, monitoring, and/or management devices along with these
sensors will also protect the
landscape from damage caused by catastrophic leaks and measure water
consumption with water budgets in mind.

KNOW YOUR FLOW
Hunter offers various irrigation flow solutions to meet the needs of your project:
Flow Sensing
The Flow-Clik® is a simple and economical flow sensor that allows smaller
controllers to detect high-flow conditions and automatically shut down a
master valve on alarm.
Flow Management
Uses learned flow for each station to schedule valves on to reach an optimized
flow target in system piping.
This allows the controller to automatically get the most watering done in the
shortest amount of time, at safe velocities.
Flow Monitoring
Measures and compares actual flow from a flow sensor to the learned flows of
all running stations in real time. If the actual flow exceeds the total of the
running stations, the controller performs diagnostics to determine whether
there is a pipe break or a malfunctioning valve. The controller can then shut
down irrigation and alert the owner with the exact information required for
repairs.
Does your project require more sensors than
an irrigation controller accepts?
In some scenarios, projects require more sensor inputs than an irrigation
controller allows for. If this is the case, a sensor may be installed as a
common wire interrupt in order to bypass the need for a sensor terminal. This
option works best with Soil-Clik and Flow-Clik Sensors. Simply wire the common
wire of the valves/zone associated with the sensor, as shown below.
Smart Irrigation Control with ET Input
Hunter offers two EPA WaterSense-certified ET solutions delivering state-of-
the-art smart irrigation control. Choose the solution that works best for your
project.
