Hunter Mini-Clik®
The world's most simple, accurate, rugged and reliable rain
sensors
There’s nothing more embarrassing – or more wasteful
or costly – than an irrigation system that runs when it
doesn’t have to…in the rain. And the simplest, most
effective way to prevent your sprinklers from coming on during
or after precipitation is the Hunter Mini-Clik®. Easily
installed on any automatic irrigation system, Mini-Clik®
shuts sprinklers off in a storm and keeps them off, automatically
compensating for the amount of rainfall that occurred. Disks
absorb water and then expand proportionally to the amount of
rain that fell (e.g., a small cloudburst would result in little
absorption, a thunderstorm with 6" of rain would lead
to more absorption and thus more expansion). As the moisture-laden
disks expand, they eventually activate a switch that interrupts
the circuit from the controller to the solenoid valves. Once
dry, they contract and release the switch. Thus, the Mini-Clik®
automatically resets without ever affecting your controller.
Built to withstand the harshest conditions, there’s no
better way to ensure that your system isn’t watering when
it isn’t necessary…no wonder the Mini-Clik®
name has been synonymous with rain sensors for more than two
decades.
Hunter Rain-Clik™
The reliable rain sensor with instant shut-off
The reason to install a rain sensor is so an automatic irrigation
system that is scheduled to run will be able to shut off and
NOT run when it is raining, right? However, most rain-sensing
devices must first accumulate a set amount of rainfall before
a switch is activated that interrupts the circuit from the controller
and shuts off the system. In that “accumulation time,”
the system will continue to water, giving the appearance a precious
resource is being wasted…exactly the opposite impression
a municipality, a business or an upstanding citizen would like
to convey. Only the Hunter Rain-Clik™, with its unique
Quick Response™ feature, can command a controller to shut
off immediately – not after a quarter- or a half-inch,
but right when it starts to rain. And, unlike any of its competitors,
the Rain-Clik™ can be mounted in a variety of ways: on
a rain gutter, on conduit, with a telescoping extension to bring
the unit away from an eave, or in the standard method on a flat
vertical surface like a wall or fence.
Hunter Wireless Rain-Clik™
The
first reliable wireless rain sensor
If the thought of running wires from a controller has kept
you from adding rain sensors to your systems, now there’s
a hassle-free alternative. The Hunter Wireless Rain-Clik™
attaches quickly and easily and delivers a dependable way to
ensure that your landscape isn’t getting water when it
doesn’t need it. Simply install the receiver unit next
to your irrigation controller, then install the transmitter
anywhere that the device can receive representative rainfall.
No ladders needed to attach to a high outcropping on a building,
no messy wires to hide out of view. What could be more simple?
What also sets a Hunter Rain-Clik™ apart are features
no other rain-sensing device offers. The unique Quick Response™
feature allows the product to shut off immediately when it starts
to rain. And, unlike its competition, Hunter’s sophisticated
sensing mechanism cannot be fouled by debris, giving the Wireless
Rain-Clik™ the most highly accurate operation.
Hunter Wind-Clik®
Shuts off irrigation systems during periods of high wind
Look at any sprinkler’s performance chart and you’ll
see that the data was gathered from tests conducted under zero
wind conditions. Of course, in the real world, not every day
is a calm one. And, while most sprinklers can still perform
at close to peak efficiency with some type of breeze, when the
air movement starts to get stronger, water coverage can get
challenging, questionable and downright messy. It can even become
a liability issue when windblown sprinklers soak pedestrian
paths or roadways with passing cars. The Hunter Wind-Clik®
offers the most cost-effective solution to such situations as
it shuts off irrigation systems during periods of high wind
(shut down points are adjustable), then automatically resets
the system when conditions are more favorable. With Wind-Clik®
you’ll save water, worry and money as your system will
only be operating at the times when you can be sure that the
water intended for your landscape will reach its destination.
For effective wind control, you’ll be blown away by Wind-Clik®…instead
of simply seeing your water blown away by the wind.
Hunter Freeze-Clik®
Prevent irrigation
systems from activating by automatically stopping the flow of
water when the outdoor temperature drops to a near freezing
level.
In many areas, it is quite common to have mild temperatures
in the evening, then have a freeze set in overnight. If your
automatic irrigation system were set to go on as usual during
this chill, in the morning you would find a landscape frozen
over, with ice on adjoining driveways, sidewalks and even roadways.
In places with temperature swings like this, the results are
not only hazardous to the life of your lawn and plants, it can
also be hazardous to those who may walk or drive nearby. With
the Hunter Freeze-Clik® you can prevent irrigation systems
from activating by automatically stopping the flow of water
when the outdoor temperature drops to a near freezing level.
When the temperature rises above that set point, Freeze-Clik®
simply resets your system to its regular cycle. Easy to mount,
easy to use, Freeze-Clik® can also be used in conjunction
with other weather sensing devices to guarantee the optimum
effectiveness of a landscape irrigation system in virtually
all types of weather
Hunter Mini-Weather Station
Each of Hunter's three different sensor devices combined into
one single convenient unit.
Having a climate like a smorgasbord can make for some tricky
business when it concerns your irrigation system. Of course,
you can simply look out the window and decide whether to turn
on the sprinklers manually each day, but that defeats the purpose
of an automatic system. What you really need is an automatic
device that can make the decision whether there is too much
rain, too much wind or too much cold to do the watering. With
the Hunter Mini-Weather Station you get each of Hunter's three
different sensor devices in one single convenient unit. The
Mini-Clik rain sensor shuts sprinklers off in a storm and keeps
them off, automatically compensating for the amount of rainfall
that occurred. The Freeze-Clik prevents system activation by
automatically stopping the flow of water when outdoor temperatures
drop near freezing. The Wind-Clik shuts off systems during periods
of high wind, then automatically resets the system when conditions
are more favorable. Easy to mount (it attaches to your controller
with just two wires) and easy to use, the Mini-Weather Station
takes all the guesswork out of when you shouldn't water.
This sensor includes Wind, Rain and Freeze Sensors
