INTRODUCTION .......................................................................................................................
Finally, there’s an affordable, full-featured indoor/outdoor controller for commercial applications.
Hunter Industries is pleased to introduce the ICC – Institutional/Commercial Controller for commercial use. Designed with the needs of the customer
in mind, the ICC offers simplified dial programming and an impressive range of features typically found in controllers that cost twice as much.
The ICC is very much a professional grade product. The controller’s large cabinet provides ample room for wiring. And the ICC is filled with essential
features that landscapes demand like a rain sensor bypass circuit, primary and secondary power surge protection, seasonal adjustment/water
budgeting, simultaneous program operation, programmable pump/master valve circuit, programmable rain delay, cycle and soak, four independent
programs with four different day scheduling choices and eight start times each, plus much more.
The ICC is so easy to use that you’ll need this user guide very little after installation. If you do have a question about the controller, refer to this
booklet or to the abbreviated instructions inside the door.
You can be sure that you’ve chosen with confidence. The ICC is a controller that does the job efficiently and economically.

NOTE: Although it is usually best to connect all field
wires prior to powering up the controller, it is not
necessary with the ICC. After powering up the
controller, attach the common wire to the terminal
strip as described above. Then touch each wire to
the terminal marked TEST to identify the valve
location. Each valve will open electrically when the
wire is touched to the TEST terminal. After
identifying the valve location, you may then insert
the wire into the appropriate terminal. This feature
allows you to sequence the valves in the most
logical order for the user without damaging the
controller by “sparking” the wires.

CONNECTING STATION MODULES ......................................................................................
The ICC controller is supplied with one factory-installed station module
for up to 8 stations. Additional modules may be added in increments of
4 or 8 stations to expand the controller’s station capability (maximum
of 32 stations with plastic cabinet and a maximum of 48 stations with
metal or stainless steel cabinet). Additional modules are purchased
separately.
1. When installing additional modules, you will need to turn off the AC
power to the controller. You should also temporarily remove the 9
volt battery if one is being used.
2. Snap the module into the appropriate sequential position in the
back of the controller. NOTE: If you are using a 4 station module, it
must be in the last sequential position on the controller. Example:
For an area that needs 12 stations, the first module will
be an 8 station and the 4 station module will be below it. Note that
the station numbers are identified on the back panel, not the
individual modules.
3. Once all modules are snapped into place, reactivate power to the
controller and reinstall the battery. Turning the power off and then
on again permits the microprocessor to recognize the newly
installed modules.
NOTE: Each module has a place for connection of a
field common wire. For systems with a single
common, you only need to connect the common
wire to any single common terminal.

CONNECTING THE BATTERY (OPTIONAL) .........................................................................
Connect a 9-volt alkaline battery (not included) to the battery terminals
and place in the battery compartment in the controller cabinet. The
battery keeps time during power outages and allows the user to
program the controller without AC power. Watering will not occur
without AC power. Since this controller has nonvolatile memory,
the program will be retained during a power outage even if no battery
is installed.

CONNECTING A PUMP START RELAY ................................................................................
1. Route a wire pair from the pump relay into the controller housing.
NOTE: Complete this section only if you have a
pump and pump start relay installed. A pump start
relay is an electronic device that uses a signal
current from the irrigation controller to activate a
pump to provide water to your system.
2. Connect a common wire to the terminal slot C (Common) and the
remaining wire from the pump relay to the P/MV screw slot.
Relay holding current draw must not exceed .28 amps. Do not
connect the controller directly to the pump – damage to
controller will result.
The controller should be mounted at least 15 feet (4.5 m) away from
both the pump start relay and the pump. When a pump is to be operated
by the controller, a pump start relay must be used. Hunter offers a full
range a pump start relays for most applications.

directly to the controller and allows you to easily override the sensor by
using the Rain Sensor bypass switch on the controller.
1. Route the wires from the rain sensor up through the same conduit
used for valve wiring.
2. Remove the jumper from the two SEN terminals on the power
module.
3. Connect one wire to the SEN terminal and one to the other SEN
terminal on the power module
NOTE: If the rain sensor switch is left in the ACTIVE
position and no sensor is connected, and the
jumper has been removed, the display will read
SEN OFF and no irrigation will occur. To eliminate
this problem when no sensor is connected, leave
the switch in the BYPASS position or install a short
jumper wire between the sensor terminals.

CONNECTING AN SRR OR ICR REMOTE CONTROL (CONTINUED) ...............................
NOTE: Any extension of the wiring on the SmartPort® may result in an error message in the controller display and possible
malfunction of the remote unit due to radio interference. In some situations, lengthening of the harness may work fine, in
others it may not work at all (it is site specific). In either case, extending the wiring harness should be done using
shielded cable to minimize the possible effects of electrical noise. For easiest installation, order a new Hunter SmartPort®
shielded cable wiring harness (part #SRR-SCWH) with a full 25 feet of shielded cable.
CONNECTING THE SRP PROGRAMMER (NOT INCLUDED) ............................................
With the new Hunter SRP (Simple, Reliable Programmer) system, you can download schedules that you view and set on
your personal computer, upload them directly into the ICC through the SmartPort® outlet and the SRP programming tool.

your local distributor.
CONNECTING TO THE HUNTER IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT AND
MONITORING SYSTEM™ (NOT INCLUDED).......................................................................
With the IMMS™, automatic irrigation systems at multiple sites or multiple controllers at a single site can be programmed for functions that would
typically be handled directly at each controller. Scheduling of days to water, run times, start times, cycle and soak operations and more can now be
done from a single computer at a desk miles away from the actual installation. In addition, scheduled operation of non-irrigation components also in
use at these sites – e.g., lighting systems at athletic fields, fountains at shopping centers – as well as pumps and sensors can also be programmed
and monitored from a single central location. A key function of the IMMS™ is its ability to monitor changing conditions. With the aid of such options
as flow sensors, rain sensors and other weather-sensing devices, the IMMS™ can receive reports on the current condition at every site it is linked
with and then respond with the necessary adjustments should any of those conditions go beyond the limits that have been defined. It’s able to team
with any or all of the standard automatic controllers in the Hunter line-up, from the SRC to the Pro-C to the ICC. Plus, it’s a system that’s easy and
affordable to upgrade, making it possible to accommodate an expanding network of controllers. For more information on the IMMS™ software,
contact your local Hunter dealer.
POWER FAILURES ...................................................................................................................
Due to the possibility of power failures, the controller has nonvolatile memory to preserve the program indefinitely. If no 9-volt battery is installed,
the controller will freeze time when the power goes out and resume, keeping time after power has been restored. If a battery is installed, the 9-volt
battery back up will keep time so the clock and calendar will be intact for up to three days. There is no default program so there will be no surprise

SPRINKLER SYSTEM FUNDAMENTALS.............................................................................
Valve 1
Valve 2
There are three main components that are involved with all automatic
sprinkler systems that are made today. They are the controller, control
valves, and the sprinklers.
®
®
The controller is what makes the whole system operate efficiently. It is
technically the brain of the entire system, instructing the valves when to
supply water to the sprinklers and for how long to do so. The sprinklers,
in turn, will direct the water towards the surrounding plants and lawn.
Station 1
Station 2
The valve controls a group of sprinklers called a watering station. These
stations are laid out in a fashion according to the type of plant life that
exists there, the locations of the plants, and the maximum amount of
water that can be pumped to the location. Each valve is connected via
wire to the terminal strip area inside of the controller. Here the wire is
connected to a number that corresponds to the valve’s station number.
Valve 6
Valve 7
Valve 3
®
®
The controller will operate the valves in order, only one at a time. When
a valve has completed it’s watering; it will switch to the next station that
has been programmed. This process is called the watering cycle. The
information pertaining to the watering times of the individual stations
and the duration of them is called a program.

PROGRAMMING FUNDAMENTALS .....................................................................................
For the controller and it’s selected program to operate automatically,
there are three components that must exist: When to water – or Watering
Start Times, how long to water – or Station Run Times, what day of the
week to water – or Days to Water.
1, 2, and 3 on program A, Station 4 to soak the flowers with drip irrigation
on program D, and Station 5 to water the shrubs on program B. However, it
is not absolutely necessary to use this feature. Many users prefer the
simplicity of using one program for all their watering needs. The additional
programs are provided for your convenience should the need arise.
We have included an example that will better illustrate the operation of a
program. Let’s say you have a program start time set for 6:00 AM.
Stations 1 and 2 are going to have a run time of 15 minutes and station 3
is set for 10 minutes. Please note that Stations 4, 5, etc. have not been
included in this program, we will water them on separate programs.
Station 1

Going back to our previous example, at 6:00 AM the controller will activate
the watering cycle. The sprinklers on Station 1 will run for 15 minutes
and then shut off. The controller will automatically activate Station 2
sprinklers. These sprinklers will also run for 15 minutes and then shut
off. Then, watering on Station 3 will begin. The sprinklers will turn on for
10 minutes and shut off. Since no times were programmed for Stations 4,
5, etc. the controller skips them. This will conclude the program and end
the water cycle at 6:40 AM.

We realize that many consumers will have variations in their plant water-
ing needs, so at Hunter we equipped the ICC with four different programs:
A, B, C, and D. These programs are completely independent of each other
and give you the ability to have four coexisting timers in one controller.
The only exception is program D, which can be used as a drip irrigation
program. Any station used in program A, B, or C can not be used in pro-
gram D. This prevents the accidental assignment of a rotor or spray zone
to program D, the drip program, which could lead to excessive watering.

CREATING A WATERING SCHEDULE...................................................................................
For most consumers, it is much easier to plan your specific watering
schedule onto paper before actually programming the information into
the controller. It’s also handy to have a written record of your program-
ming information for easy reference.
It is usually good to water one or two hours before
sunrise. Water pressure will be at optimum levels
during the early morning and the water can soak
into the roots of the plants while evaporation is
minimal. For most plants, watering during mid-day
or in the evening may cause plant damage or
possibly mildew.
There are some guidelines that should followed when determining when
and how long to water. These factors are, the soil type, the part of the
landscape being watered, weather conditions, and the types of
sprinklers being used. Since there are so many different variables that
can determine your individual watering schedule; it is impossible to give
an exact schedule to follow. However, we have included some
guidelines to help you get started.
Keep an eye out for evidence of under- or over-
watering. Over-watering is most commonly
indicated by pools of water that take a long time to
soak in or evaporate, while under-watered
landscapes will show signs of discoloring and
dryness. Make programming changes immediately
when evidence is present.
HOW TO FILL OUT THE WATERING SCHEDULE ................................................................
schedule, indicate the desired interval number. And for an odd or even
day schedule, simply mark the corresponding box.
Be sure to use a pencil when filling out this form. By using the included
example and the information below, you should have all the information
you need to construct your personal water schedule. There is an
example of a completed form on the following page.
Program Start Times – Indicate the time of day that the program will
begin. Each program can have 1 to 8 start times. However, one start
time can run an entire program.
Station Number and Location – Identify the station number, location
Station Run Time – Indicate the run time (1 minute to 2 hours or up to
12 hours on program D) for each station. Write “OFF” for any station
that you do not want to operate in the program.
and the type of plant that is being watered.
Watering Day – Identify whether you want to use a calendar day,
interval, or an odd or even day schedule. For a calendar day schedule
circle the day of the week in which watering is desired. For an interval
Keep this schedule in a safe place for quick reference later, rather than
scrolling through program information on the controller.

The ICC controller offers maximum scheduling flexibility including four
programs, each with up to 8 daily start times, permitting plants with
different watering requirements to be separated on different day
schedules. Multiple start times permit morning, afternoon and evening
watering, perfect for the establishment of new lawns and thirsty annual
flowers. A built in 365-day calendar clock accommodates odd/even
watering restrictions without requiring monthly reprogramming. Or, just
simply designate the days of the week you want to water or use the
convenient day interval watering. The ICC makes it easy.

SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT
Seasonal Adjust is used to make global run time changes without
reprogramming the entire controller. This feature is perfect for making
small changes that are necessary as the weather changes without
reprogramming the entire controller. For instance, hotter times of the
year may require a bit more water. Seasonal adjust can be increased so
that the stations will run longer than the programmed time. Conversely,
as Fall approaches, the seasonal adjust can be reduced to allow for
short watering durations.
8. Return the dial to RUN (custom program will water the entire
program beginning with the station number last left in the display,
then controller will return to automatic mode with no change in the
previously set program).
NOTE: The station that is on the display when you
turn the dial to RUN, will be the first station to run.
The controller will then proceed to water in
sequential order only. It will not water previous
stations. Example: If you turn the dial to RUN with
the display reading station 3, the controller will
water Stations 3 through 9 in the program, but not
return to Stations 1 and 2.
To use the seasonal adjust, simply press the up or down seasonal
adjust buttons to set the percentage desired. Each bar on the graph can
be adjusted from 10% to 150% of original program. The season adjust
can be changed at any time regardless of the programming dial
position. To view the new adjusted run time, simply turn the rotary dial
to the SET RUN TIMES position, the displayed run time will be updated
accordingly as the seasonal adjustment is made.
NOTE: The controller should always be initially
programmed in the 100% position.

ADVANCED FEATURES ...........................................................................................................
There are four advanced features available to customize the ICC to more
complex watering requirements. Two of these features are “hidden” to
make accidentally programming them nearly impossible.

The Cycle and Soak feature allows the user to split each station’s run
time into more usable, shorter duration waterings. This feature is
particularly applicable for slopes and tight soil (such as clay) because
Cycle and Soak will help prevent excessive run off. You should enter the
Cycle time as a fraction of the station’s watering time and the Soak time
as the minimum soak required before watering the next portion. The
total number of cycles is determined by taking the total programmed
station run time and dividing it by the Cycle time.

For example: Suppose Station 1 required 20 minutes worth of water but
after only 5 minutes, runoff occurred. However, after 10 minutes all the
water was absorbed. The solution would be to program 20 minutes for
the Station Run Time, 5 minutes for the Cycle time, and 10 minutes for
the Soak. Station 1 will then water for 5 minutes and then the rest of the
stations in the program will water. After all the other stations have
watered the controller will check to see if Station 1 had soaked for at
least 10 minutes. If it had, then Station 1 will water for another 5
minutes. This process would continue to repeat itself until Station 1
watered 4 times for 5 minutes each time, a total of

instance, if the sum of the cycle times for all stations in a program
exceeds 10 minutes and each station will require no more than 20
minutes of soak time, then the accumulated cycle times are sufficient
and no soak time will need to be programmed. However, if the
