Why Hunter Commercial Controllers Demand Expert Programming
Getting the ACC2 running and getting it completely programmed are two very different things — and the distance between them is where most water savings, flow protection, and operational efficiency are lost.
Flow Zones & Flow Manager
The ACC2 supports six flow zones with per-zone sensors, master valves, and station assignments. Flow Manager maximizes simultaneous stations within your available flow. Without every station assigned correctly and flow rates learned, neither feature engages properly.
MainSafe Configuration
MainSafe is one of the most valuable — and most misunderstood — ACC2 features. It requires its own sensor and master valve assignments, flow limits, unscheduled flow limits, alarm delay settings, and correct zone mapping. Most sites never enable it properly.
Learn Flow & Alarm Calibration
Hunter's Learn Flow must be run for every station with a run time. Over/underflow thresholds must then be calibrated to actual site conditions — default 115% limits produce nuisance alarms on most sites. We calibrate correctly and test the complete alert chain.
Centralus & Hunter 360 Setup
We connect your controllers to Centralus for cloud-based remote access, Predictive Watering, and flow reporting. For enterprise sites, we configure Hunter 360 Software with map-based layouts, ET management, and facility automation integration.
Solar Sync & Cycle/Soak
Solar Sync requires proper configuration before seasonal adjustment is active. Station-level cycle and soak prevents runoff on problem zones without holding up the rest of the schedule. Most installations leave both partially or incorrectly set up.
Program Structure & Naming
32 independent programs with 10 start times each give full operational flexibility — but only if programs are built around your site's actual use patterns and every station has a clear, consistent name your team can act on.
