You will need:
• WVOM Bluetooth®App (free download from Apple or Google Play)
• Two 9 V DC batteries for each Wireless Valve Link to be connected
• Irrigation-grade, waterproof connectors for DC solenoid connections
• 1½" (38 mm) hole saw for Wireless Valve Link valve box lid mounting
(included)
Note: Do not use the hole saw on the controller enclosure! The hole saw is for
installing the individual Wireless Valve Link devices in valve boxes.
The Wireless Valve Output Module (domestic WVOM or international
WVOM-E model) is designed for installation in an output module slot within
a compatible Hunter ICC2 or HCC Controller.
The Wireless Valve Output Module is designed to operate with Hunter
Wireless Valve Link devices only. It is not compatible with any other
manufacturer’s devices.
The Wireless Valve Link requires Hunter DC-Latching Solenoids
(P/N 458200), which can be retrotted to almost any existing
Hunter valve.

Installation
RESET
1. Engage the tabs in the output module slot and tip the Wireless Valve
Output Module into place until the connector is fully seated.
2. Move the locking lever to the horizontal position to secure the module.
3. Press and release the Reset button on the back of the facepack so the
new module is recognized. The controller can now manage 54 stations.
4. When powered on, the module's top LED will display a constant green
light to indicate is it active and ready to communicate.

The WVOM has no built-in controls; only LEDs to show status. All
programming and diagnostics are done with the free Bluetooth
WVL App, available for iOS®or Android®from their respective app stores.
1. Download and install the Hunter WVL App.
2. Open the app on a smartphone. The app will begin immediately
scanning for Wireless Valve Output Modules within a range of roughly
50' (15 m) line of sight.
3. A list of available Wireless Valve Output Module devices within
Bluetooth range will appear, identied by serial number.
4. Select the Wireless Valve Output Module you're programming and click
Connect. The blue LED on the selected Wireless Valve Output Module
will light up when it's connected to the phone.
5. Consult the Wireless Valve Link installation guide for programming
station addresses into the Wireless Valve Links.

Basic Troubleshooting
All LoRa®radio communications between the Wireless Valve Output Module
and the Wireless Valve Links (or Repeater) are two-way. Whenever the
Wireless Valve Output Module sends a message to the Wireless Valve Links
or the Repeater, it expects a response.
The two-way communications occur every time the controller attempts to
turn on a Wireless Valve Link station.
If the Wireless Valve Output Module does not receive a response aer a retry
attempt, the module will announce the error both in the controller display
and with two internal beeps every 2 minutes.
• The display will show the station number (or P for Pump/Master
Valve) along with Err to indicate which station failed to respond.
• The beep will continue until either:
• the Wireless Valve Output Module is able to communicate
successfully with the unresponsive Wireless Valve Link
again, or
• you press the Reset button on the back of the controller
facepack.
Use the WVL App to connect to the Wireless Valve Output Module, and go to
the Dashboard menu. Click Details. Any Wireless Valve Link with a red status
icon has failed to respond.
The most common causes of communication failures are:
Cause Solution
Low battery Replace batteries (or inspect solar panel, if using solar
power)
Environmental changes
(e.g., obstructing vehicle,
overgrown foliage)
Locate and remove obstacle, if possible
Elevate Wireless Valve Output Module antenna
Add Repeater
Radio interference from
other devices
Try a dierent channel (use the app) to eliminate
interference
WVL internal failure
(e.g., lightning)
Check Wireless Valve Link LEDs in battery
compartment for functionality
Replace Wireless Valve Link if necessary
The Wireless Valve Output Module range can be extended.
• Elevate the Wireless Valve Output Module antenna with a Hunter
Antenna Extension Kit up to 9' (3 m). The Antenna Extension kit
is required for use in metal cabinet controllers.
• Add a Hunter Repeater (model RPT in North America, RPT-E in
international markets).

Additional Functions
Passcode Creation
• You can add a passcode (PIN) to the Wireless Valve Output Module to
prevent unauthorized access by other Bluetooth smartphone users.
• It's important to remember your passcode or store it in a safe place. If
you forget or lose the passcode, other users may no longer be able to
access the Wireless Valve Output Module and all the Wireless Valve Link
information until it's bypassed. Do not use a PIN that you use for other
apps and functions.
Database Recovery
• The recovery feature is used when a Wireless Valve Output Module must
be replaced for service reasons or is exchanged with another device.
• The new Wireless Valve Output Module must be relinked to all the
Wireless Valve Linksin the eld to operate.
• Install the new Wireless Valve Output Module, connect it with the app,
and choose the Recover Database feature.
• The app will prompt you to enter the serial number of a known device
(either a Wireless Valve Link or a Repeater) within the system.
• The Wireless Valve Output Module will use this valid serial number to
search for the new device. The Wireless Valve Output Module will then
attempt to reach all operational Wireless Valve Links or Repeaters within
range. This can take up to 30 minutes.
• When the process is complete, a notication will appear. If all Wireless
Valve Links were found, the Wireless Valve Output Module will be ready
to irrigate again without further eld addressing.
Factory Reset
• The factory reset option will completely erase all Wireless Valve Output
Module information, including the Wireless Valve Link database, Channel
and Site ID assignments, and Repeater conguration. The whole system
will need to be set up again to restore operations.
• From the WVOM Settings menu, select Factory Reset to revert the
system to default settings.
Firmware Updates
• Both the Wireless Valve Output Module and the Wireless Valve Links
can be updated in the eld over the air (OTA), if new rmware becomes
available.
• When the process is complete, a notication will appear. If all Wireless
Valve Links were found, the Wireless Valve Output Module will be ready
to irrigate again without further eld addressing.
Firmware updates are large downloads and can take up to 2 hours.
Do not start an update if you need to irrigate or perform other
diagnostic functions within this time.
