Install lawn irrigation: Connect & program Hunter control computer

In part 5 of my series “Building Lawn Irrigation with Hunter MP Rotators”, I'll show you how to connect the Hunter solenoid valve in my distribution box to the Hunter X-Core irrigation computer. I then program the control computer to automatically control the new irrigation circuit.

The solenoid valve operates on 24V and is connected via a 2-wire cable. A separate voltage cable is required for each valve, but all valves can use a common earth cable. The formula is: “Number of valves + 1”.

⚠️ Caution: When replicating, it is essential to observe the local regulations for the installation of electrical systems!

Note: Unfortunately, there were technical problems when filming the video, which affected the sound quality.
