Description

The Hunter DC Latching Solenoid converts a compatible Hunter irrigation valve for use with battery-powered control systems such as NODE, NODE-BT and XC Hybrid®. Part number 458200 uses a brief DC pulse to change valve state, allowing battery controllers to operate without continuously powering a standard 24 VAC solenoid. It is compatible with Hunter irrigation valves and includes red and black 22 in. leads for station and common wiring.

Choose this solenoid when a Hunter valve will be controlled by a supported battery or wireless valve controller that specifically requires DC-latching operation. It is not a replacement for the standard 24 VAC solenoid used with conventional wall-powered controllers. The coil operates from 6 to 9 VDC, has approximately 4.8 ohms of resistance and uses a 250 millisecond pulse. A captive plunger helps keep service parts together and a quarter-turn manual control allows the valve to be opened or closed at the solenoid during testing or maintenance.

Water control solenoid

Eventually these things seem to wear out. The symptom is that the valve fails to open and close reliably. I think that it is the little seal on the end which goes. The identical unit which it replaced had seen 10 seasonsAfter the replacement everything worked perfectly

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a DC latching solenoid?
A DC latching solenoid uses short electrical pulses to open and close a valve, making it suitable for battery-powered irrigation controllers.
What is the difference between a DC latching solenoid and a standard 24 VAC solenoid?
A DC latching solenoid is designed for battery-powered control, while a standard 24 VAC solenoid is used with conventional AC-powered irrigation controllers.
Does the Hunter DC Latching Solenoid work with NODE controllers?
Yes. It is designed for compatible Hunter battery-powered platforms including NODE.
Does the Hunter DC Latching Solenoid work with XC Hybrid controllers?
Yes. It is compatible with supported Hunter XC Hybrid® battery-control applications.
Can I use a DC latching solenoid with a standard AC-powered irrigation controller?
No. Use the solenoid type specified for the controller and valve system.
