Pro-C Upgrade Allows Landscape Lighting Control

April 20, 2012 in Uncategorized | Comments (0)

PROCFX-300x225Hunter’s Pro-C has a well-earned reputation as a highly innovative light commercial/residential irrigation controller. Its modular design and sensor compatibility offer flexibility and efficiency for a wide variety of needs. Now the Pro-C offers one more bold option: the ability to control landscape lighting. This new innovation is meant to be a major convenience for those who already work in lighting, and an easy introduction to lighting control for those who may be just adding landscape lighting to their repertoire.

With the upgrade, the Pro-C has three lighting programs options (L1, L2, L3) that allow lighting schedules to be created using the Pro-C interface. Lighting programs can run simultaneously with irrigation, and are not interrupted by irrigation functions like rain sensor condition or seasonal adjustments. Click here to learn more.
