HCC - Quick Start Guide
HCC - Connecting AC Power
Connecting the controller to primary AC power should be done by a licensed electrician following all
local codes. Install in approved conduit and fittings. The controller can operate with either 120VAC
or 230VAC power. Supply wires must be 14AWG/ 2 mm2 or larger.
IMPORTANT: If you are using the plug-in method, the wiring is exactly the same but you will require
an outlet. The plug referred to as a Pigtail (three wires including neutral, hot, and ground) can be
purchased at most hardware outlets or a Hunter Authorized Dealer [1] (P/N: PIGTAIL).

REMOVE FACEPACK
1. Turn AC power off at the source, and verify that it is off.
2. Disconnect the facepack ribbon cable
3. Remove the facepack.
4. Remove the cover from the junction box.

WIRING
1. Strip about 0.5” (13 mm) of insulation from the end of each AC power wire.
2. Route the wires through the conduit opening inside the junction box.
3. Connect the incoming black power wire (HOT) with the black wire lead from the
transformer.
4. Connect the incoming white wire (NEUTRAL) with the blue lead from the
transformer.
5. Connect the incoming green wire (GROUND) with the green and yellow wire from
the transformer.
6. Cap the unused brown wire coming from the transformer. Replace the cover of
the junction box and screw it into place.
7. Replace cover, turn on the power, and test.

EARTH GROUND CONNECTION (LIGHTNING PROTECTION)
1. Insert the copper wire from earth ground hardware, and tighten the screw in front.
2. Minimum 10 AWG/5mm2 wire to earth ground hardware.
3. Add copper-clad steel ground rods and/or plates sufficient to achieve 10Ω or less resistance at a
minimum 8’/2.5 m away from the controller.

HCC - Valve Wiring
1. Route valve wires between control valve location and controller.
2. At valves, attach a common wire to either solenoid wire of all valves. The most commonly used
color for the common wire is white. Attach a separate control wire to the remaining wire of each
valve. All wire splice connections should be done using waterproof connectors.
3. Open hinged faceplate on the controller to access the terminal strip area.
4. Route valve wires through the conduit and attach conduit to the controller at the large conduit
opening on the right side of the bottom of the cabinet. The conduit opening has a triple knockout
to accommodate 1", 1¼", or 1½" (25, 32, or 40 mm) conduit. Each section can be easily
removed using a knife.
5. Strip ½" (13 mm) of insulation from ends of all wires. Secure valve common wire to C (Common)
terminal on any of the valve modules or power module. Then attach all individual valve control
wires to appropriate station terminals.

HCC - Installing ICM Station Modules
The base model of HCC is supplied with an ICM-800 station output module. The capacity of the
controller is increased when new station modules are installed and recognized.
Standard ICM station modules are available in 4, 8, and 22 station sizes (ICM-400, ICM-800, ICM-
2200). These may be added at any time after initial installation.
Note: The ICM-2200 (22 Station module) must always be installed in the last two module slots to
make it compatible.

STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3
Open the controller inner panel, and
choose the next available open slot in
the controller. Slots are numbered,
down the first column and up the
second.
Flip the blue locking lever into the
vertical unlocked position.
Tip the two tabs on one end of the
module into the mating holes in one end
of the slot, and tip the module firmly into
place.
STEP 4 STEP 5 STEP 6
Flip the locking lever into the horizontal
locked position.
Press the Reset button on the back of
the controller control panel. This is
required for the controller to recognize
the new module.
Connect field and common wiring as
needed and test.
