This document is a user installation and user manual for the multi-station battery-operated irrigation controller produced by HUNTER and used in conjunction with the WVP wireless programmer. It introduces the components of the product, battery installation, wireless communication, setting addresses, installation methods, connecting weather sensors, and controller program settings.
The WVC wireless valve controller is powered by a single 9 V alkaline battery and can control two (WVC‑200) or four (WVC‑400) DC electromagnetic valves. It communicates wirelessly with a WP programming unit on 900 MHz (US/AU) or 868 MHz (EU) frequencies, allowing programming and manual irrigation without opening the valve box.
The manual details how to install the battery, connect DC valves with waterproof connectors (max 30 m cable length), set a unique three‑digit address using the WP programmer, mount the controller on valve boxes or poles, and optionally connect weather sensors. FCC and IC compliance notes are also included. This manual is written in Chinese.

Press the send/receive button on the WP programmer, use the keypad to enter a three‑digit code (000‑999), then confirm; the controller will acknowledge with a tone.
A standard 9 V alkaline battery is required; the controller runs on a single battery for about one irrigation season.
With 18‑AWG waterproof wire, the maximum reliable distance is about 30 m; longer runs may reduce battery life.
Yes, a rain sensor or other micro‑switch type sensor can be wired to the controller using the yellow leads and waterproof connectors.
