Automate Large Landscapes with the Hunter Node BT 4 Station Battery Controller
The Hunter Node BT 4 Station battery-powered irrigation controller is the ultimate professional solution for managing multiple watering zones without the need for mains electrical power. Engineered for isolated sites, commercial greenhouses, roundabouts, and complex residential gardens, this smart device brings advanced automatic scheduling straight to your valve box. Please note: This specific model is supplied without DC latching coils.
When dealing with remote landscapes, running electrical wires from a main building is often costly or physically impossible. The Hunter Node BT 4 Station solves this challenge entirely by operating reliably on standard 9V batteries, allowing you to establish a professional, multi-zone automatic watering system anywhere in the world.
Wireless Bluetooth App Management
No more crouching inside damp valve boxes or struggling with tiny screens in the dark. The Hunter Node BT 4 Station features powerful Bluetooth® 5.0 connectivity, allowing you to fully configure, program, and manually operate your irrigation system from a safe distance of up to 15 metres. Simply download the free, user-friendly Hunter NODE-BT mobile application onto your iOS or Android smartphone, and enjoy complete control over your outdoor irrigation schedule.
Through the intuitive app interface, professional installers and homeowners can monitor battery life, view total watering history, and make precise seasonal adjustments in just a few taps. This wireless capability significantly speeds up system maintenance and site inspections.
Heavy-Duty IP68 Waterproof Engineering
The Hunter Node BT 4 Station is purposefully built to survive the harshest outdoor environments. Featuring a rugged, fully sealed outer casing, this controller boasts an official IP68 waterproof rating. It is completely dust-tight and fully submersible in water up to 3.5 metres deep. Whether your underground valve boxes suffer from heavy winter mud, persistent rainwater flooding, or intense summer humidity, the internal electronics will remain entirely dry and functional year after year.
Advanced Programming and Water Conservation
To ensure maximum efficiency and healthy plant growth, this multi-zone controller offers highly flexible scheduling options. Users can create up to 3 independent irrigation programs, with each program supporting up to 8 distinct start times. This allows you to split watering cycles to prevent water runoff on sloped turf or heavy clay soils.
- Independent Station Control: Set precise run times for four separate areas, tailoring water delivery to specific plant needs (e.g., drip line grids vs. lawn pop-up sprays).
- Seasonal Adjustment: Quickly scale watering run times down during rainy periods or up during peak summer heatwaves without reprograming individual zones.
- Sensor Compatibility: Built-in connection ports allow you to easily integrate the Hunter Mini-Weather Click, Rain-Clik, or Freeze-Clik sensors to automatically halt watering during adverse weather events.
Why Choose the Hunter Node BT 4 Station?
For irrigation professionals and landscaping experts in the UK, the Hunter Node BT 4 Station represents the gold standard in off-grid water management. It eliminates the need for expensive trenching to bring power to remote sections of a property. By relying on a smartphone app instead of physical buttons on the unit, Hunter has removed the risk of screen damage and button wear, ensuring a significantly longer product lifespan compared to traditional battery timers.
Additionally, the ability to store two 9V batteries in the compartment means you double the operational life of the unit, reducing the frequency of site visits just to replace power cells. This makes it an incredibly cost-effective option for commercial asset maintenance and high-end residential irrigation setups alike.
