3. Remove 1⁄2" (13 mm) of insulation from the
solenoid wires and twist the red and black
leads from the solenoid to the WVC as
shown in the figure below.
4. Make sure that waterproof connectors are
used to secure all wire connections.
NOTE: The maximum recommended distance
from the WVC to any Hunter DC latching solenoid
is approximately 100 feet. Long distances
between the WVC and the DC latching solenoid
will reduce the 9-volt battery life.
Radio Communication
All programming and manual operations with
the WVC can be controlled with the WVP.
Actual performance varies depending upon
the installation and the surrounding terrain.
The WVP can send/retrieve data to/from the
WVC up to 100 ft. with the WVC installed in
the valve box below ground level. Radio range
increases when the WVC is installed above
ground. (Refer to the WVP Ownerʼs Manual
regarding radio communication.)
Addressing the WVC with the WVP
(WVP required to perform this function)
WVP WVC
Each WVC controller requires a unique
identification number for proper radio
operation with the WVP. Setting unique
addresses for each WVC allows for separate
radio programming and manual operations
with individual WVC controllers even though
other controllers may be in the surrounding
area. The unique address is a 3-digit number
from 000 to 999. Once the address is set, you
must remember the ID for future operation.
(Refer to the WVP Ownerʼs Manual for
detailed programming instructions.)
Below Ground Installation
For maximum radio range, position
WVC as high as possible.
To Set the Unique Address on the WVC:
1. Press the Transmit/Receive button on the
WVP to enter the communications mode.
(Lower portion of display.)
2. Use the and buttons
to change the 3-digit
identification number. Use the
button to make sure that
the WVP is in the transmit
mode with the arrow on the
display pointing towards the
address icon (see figure).
3. Unscrew the rear half of the
WVC body to gain access to
the battery compartment.
4. Install a standard 9-volt alkaline battery
into the battery holder (see Connecting the
Battery).
5. Wait for the red light inside the battery
compartment to come on, this may take
10-15 seconds.
6. Immediately press and hold the Transmit/
Receive button on the WVP. The WVP will
beep twice when transmission commences.
Release the button.
7. The WVP will beep twice again when the
identification number has been learned by
the WVC.
