Hunter releases Wireless Valve Link

Hunter has released the new Wireless Valve Link using LoRa Wireless Radio Technology so contractors can easily connect valves without running additional wires or cutting into hardscape.

The wireless valve technology simplifies installation to save time, money and labor. Benefits include:

• Works with Hunter ICC2 and HCC Controllers and is compatible with Centralus and Hydrawise Software
• Adds up to 54 valves (+P/MV) up to 2,000 feet line-of-sight or more with a Repeater
• License-free LoRa Technology enables wireless communication directly to the valve box — no copper field wiring required
• Combines with conventional ICM or EZDS Modules for flexibility
• Optional Solar Panel Kit for Wireless Valve Link eliminates the need to replace alkaline batteries in the field

“The Wireless Valve Link product family eliminates some of the biggest costs in irrigation installations: copper wire and unnecessary excavation to connect or repair distant valves,” said Ben Sacks, category manager, electronics products. “Once connected, wireless signals are immune to issues that commonly afflict wired systems, such as wire degradation and lightning damage.”

When used with modular ICC2 and HCC Controllers, the Wireless Valve Link allows for quick system expansion with a simple plug-in module, providing installation and maintenance flexibility for large or challenging landscapes.

The Wireless Valve Link is available now.
