Hunter Node
Reliable Battery-Powered Control Without the need of an electrical connection.
For isolated sites, power-restricted areas, or the special needs of drip zones, the Hunter Node is the smart, reliable solution. The Node mounts to a valve solenoid quickly and easily, and without screws, drills or additional wires. The unit's solid construction and waterproof exterior ensure it can handle the harsh environment of a valve box. Once placed in a valve box, the Node is operated by one or two 9V batteries, which provide standard or extended power throughout the season. Along with exceptional reliability, the Node features an easy-to-program LCD screen, the ability to control a Master Valve, and uses standard Hunter controller programming with 3 programs and 4 start times per program. The array of programming options and rugged reliability make the Node a compact, but powerful irrigation controller with the flexibility of battery power.
Features and Benefits

Toro's New Precision Series Spray Nozzles
The most important breakthrough in spray nozzle technology in over 60 years.
Toro's new Precision Series spray nozzles represents the most important breakthrough in spray nozzle technology in over 60 years. The nozzles deliver enhanced performance while operating at a low, but effective, 1" per hour precipitation rate to conserve water and reduce irrigation costs. Featuring patented H20 chip technology - hyper streams of oscillating water that move at 200 cycles per second and deliver conventional spray nozzle distances with 1/3 lower flows and higher overall irrigation efficiency.
The new Toro Precision Series rotating nozzles are true gear driven units that combine low precipitation rates with larger radius water for high efficiency turf maintenance. The precipitation rate of 0.55" of water per hour allows the water to be delivered evenly across the desired arc at a rate the soil and turf can thoroughly absorb and utilize it. Run off and saturation are eliminated.

Hunter ST System for Synthetic Turf
Synthetic Turf Is Cool... With Hunter ST System
Simple to specify, contractor-friendly to install and easy to service and maintain for the end-user. Finally, a unique package of irrigation products perfectly suited for cooling and cleaning synthetic sports fields. The Hunter ST System features gear-driven long-range rotors based on Hunter’s legendary rotor technology, coupled with a special multi-axis swing joint, low pressure loss valves and a robust feature-packed enclosure.
ST-90
This model features a smaller exposed surface area and jar-top access to the riser assembly. The ST-90 is ideally suited for direct burial in the natural turf that is sometimes adjacent to the synthetic field to be irrigated.
STG-900
Featuring a slightly larger exposed surface area, this model includes through-the-top access to the riser assembly. The STG-900 is ideally suited for installation within the ST enclosure that is installed on the synthetic surface. It can also be installed in the natural turf that is sometimes adjacent to the synthetic field to be irrigated.
The ST Vertical Alignment Swing Joint
Traditional swing joints will cause the rotor to move back and forth as the elevation of the rotor is raised and lowered. While appropriate for natural turf installations, synthetic turf systems require a completely different approach. Enter the Hunter "VA" swing joint. Offering the ultimate in flexibility, our vertical alignment swing joint includes six pivot points for multi-axis movement plus a seventh pivot at the outlet for rotational adjustments of the valve and rotor assembly.
Clear Advantage of the Hunter ST Enclosure
Have you ever tried to bore a hole into polymer-concrete? It is near impossible. How about installing and setting a 400 lb. (180 kg) polymer-concrete enclosure? Not very much fun. We designed the ST enclosure to be as lightweight and easy to install as possible without sacrificing durability. From the functionality perspective, the three-piece cover, large interior space and total top access to all components make servicing easier and the system less expensive to maintain.
The ST System Valve Configurations
For some, the preferred approach to designing synthetic turf irrigation systems is the "block" type configuration with remotely located valves that are off the synthetic surface. The benefit of this configuration is that it removes all high-pressure mainlines from beneath the synthetic surface. Through the use of a remotely located isolation valve, constantly pressurized supply lines to the quick couplers can be removed from beneath the synthetic surface as well.

SLRC Wireless Handheld Remote Control for Smartline Controllers
Reliable Battery-Powered Control without the need of an electrical connection.
The SLRC is a new wireless handheld remote for SmartLine controllers that offers the benefits of SmartLine "wireless irrigation network" technology, including plug-and-play capabilities. The unit works with models SL800, SL1600 and SL4800 (Firmware version 1.08 or later) and uses the same "communications hub" as other components in the SmartLine system, such as the SLW15 weather sensor.

It measures just 2x3 in., and has a bright LCD screen that displays zone number, RF signal indicator and hourglass icon for zone run time. Individual zones can be identified and run from 1 to 90 minutes, or an entire program (A, B, C and D) can be accessed and run for the pre-set length of time.
Features and Benefits
- Handheld remote control for wireless zone operation of any SmartLine® SL800, SL1600 Series or SL4800 controller requires controller firmware version 1.08 or later and SLHUB-RF wireless receiver hub (included in remote kit)

Rain Bird ESP-LXD Series Two-Wire Decoder Controller
Need 200 Stations... No Problem
Your foundation for simple, decoder-based control.
Building on the success of the popular ESP-LXM commercial controller, Rain Bird is pleased to introduce the new ESP-LXD controller. The ESP-LXD controller has been designed to maintain the look, feel and ease of programming of the ESP-LXM controller but with an interface to a two-wire path for decoder-based irrigation. The ESP-LXD controller can manage up to 50 stations but can easily be expanded for use with up to 200 stations. Flow Management is also built in to every ESP-LXD controller.
The new Rain Bird ESP-LXD builds on The Intelligent Use of Water legacy, combining the efficiency of two-wire control with trusted Extra Simple Programming. The ESP-LXD offers the ability to expand from 50 stations to u p to 200 stations. So you can handle sites large or small, while stocking fewer controllers and components. With built-in-flow capability of Flo-Manager it ensures you don’t overtax your water supply, while Flo-Watch quickly identifies and isolates high or low flow situations, such as mainline breaks.
The ESP-LXD provides flexible features and modular options that make the controller ideal for a wide variety of applications including light-commercial, commercial and industrial irrigation systems.
Easy to Use
The ESP-LXD Controller utilizes the Rain Bird ESP Extra-Simple Programming user interface. The dial, switches, and buttons interface, which Rain Bird first introduced in the early 1990s, is easy to learn and use and has become a standard controller interface for the irrigation industry. The large LCD display incorporates softkey text labels for the button functions rather than dedicated buttons.
Easy to Install
The ESP-LXD Controller has a spacious case and eight lugs for up to four two-wire paths (which are all managed as a single two-wire path) making installation fast and easy. Multiple size wiring knockouts are provided on the bottom and back side of the case to adapt to a wide variety of wiring applications. The door and front panel are removable so the case can be easily mounted to the wall.
Advanced features.
From Cycle+Soak™ to Contractor Default Program,™ the ESP-LXD offers innovative features proven to cut installation expenses, troubleshooting time and water use.
Unprecedented flexibility.
A modular design makes the ESP-LXD the perfect fit for a range of large residential and commercial projects—from the straightforward to the most complex.
200-station capacity.
The ESP-LXD offers the ability to expand from 50 stations to up to 200 stations. So you can handle sites large or small, while stocking fewer controllers and components.
Built-in flow capability.
FloManager™ ensures you don’t overtax your water supply, while FloWatch™ quickly identifies and isolates high or low flow situations, such as mainline breaks.
Backwards compatibility.
Already have a Rain Bird® MDC Two-Wire Decoder? You won’t need to dig up your field decoders. Upgrading to the ESP-LXD is as simple as changing out your MDC controller.
