HUNTER Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full HUNTER product range. Below are the major product families we service.
PRO-C and PRO-HC Controllers
Compact, weather-responsive irrigation controllers for residential and light commercial applications. Common failures include backup battery depletion, program memory corruption, and solenoid valve circuit faults affecting zone irrigation sequencing and water scheduling.
ICC2 and ICMK Controllers
Commercial-grade central control systems for large irrigation zones and multi-site management. Typical repair needs include Ethernet module failure, RS-485 communication breakdowns, and dial-up modem card malfunction affecting remote water management coordination.
Decoder Series (DCI, ICC-2 Decoders)
Field-deployed decoders that expand controller capacity and manage remote valve zones via low-voltage communication. Prone to moisture ingress, corroded decoder terminals, and RF interference causing intermittent zone control and missed irrigation schedules.
SensorPro and WeatherTrak Sensor Modules
Smart environmental sensors for real-time weather data integration and moisture-based irrigation optimization. Repair challenges include sensor calibration drift, RJ-11 connector corrosion, and wireless transmission failure impacting ET adjustment accuracy.
Hunter Hydrawise Cloud-Connected Controllers
IoT-enabled controllers offering remote app-based scheduling and cloud analytics for precision irrigation. Common issues involve Wi-Fi module connectivity loss, API authentication errors, and firmware update failures disrupting remote management capability.
Flow Meters and Pressure Sensors
Analog and digital instrumentation for real-time system monitoring, leak detection, and volume tracking. Failures include signal conditioning circuit board faults, pressure transducer diaphragm leaks, and 4-20mA output drift affecting water audit accuracy.

Common HUNTER Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in HUNTER equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓PRO-C Controller Not Responding to Commands — Occurs when backup lithium battery (CR2032 or AA) depletes, causing loss of program memory and real-time clock reset. Repeated power cycles without battery backup corrupt EEPROM sector used for zone scheduling logic.
- ✓Wireless Sensor Signal Loss or Dropout — Hunter SensorPro and WeatherTrak sensors experience RF interference from cellular towers, Wi-Fi networks, or adjacent electrical equipment common in Indian industrial zones. Weak antenna connections and corroded battery contacts further degrade signal reception strength below detection threshold.
- ✓Decoder Zone Valve Not Activating on Schedule — Hunter decoders suffer from moisture ingress causing internal corrosion on decoder PCB traces and solenoid driver transistor burnout. Extended outdoor exposure in monsoon-prone Indian regions accelerates copper oxide formation on RJ-11 connector pins.
- ✓ICC2 Ethernet Module Communication Failure — Commercial ICC2 controllers lose network connectivity when Ethernet PHY chip fails due to surge transients from nearby lightning strikes or equipment power surges common during Indian monsoon installations. RJ-45 jack corrosion also prevents data negotiation.
- ✓Hydrawise Cloud Connection Timeout or App Control Unavailable — Wi-Fi module firmware becomes corrupted during failed OTA updates or is blocked by aggressive ISP firewall rules common in corporate Indian networks. DNS resolution failure and expired SSL certificates also prevent cloud handshake with Hunter servers.
- ✓Flow Meter Reading Erratic or Stuck at Zero — Hunter turbine-style flow sensors accumulate mineral deposits and sediment from hard water common in Indian agricultural wells, jamming rotor and preventing pulse signal generation. Signal conditioning amplifier PCB also suffers capacitor failure causing output voltage collapse.

Frequently Asked Questions — HUNTER Repairs
Do you repair Hunter irrigation controllers anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics Electronics offers nationwide repair service for all Hunter controller models—PRO-C, PRO-HC, ICC2, ICMK, and Hydrawise systems. We provide PAN India door-to-door pickup from major cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Ahmedabad, and Vadodara. All repairs are performed in our Vadodara facility with turnaround typically 7-10 working days including diagnostic testing and calibration.
My Hunter decoder is stuck in an irrigation zone. How is that diagnosed and fixed?+
Decoder zone lockup typically stems from solenoid driver transistor failure, stuck mechanical valve, or corrupted decoder address memory. Synchronics tests solenoid coil resistance, measures decoder output voltage, and analyzes command signal integrity. We replace failed driver ICs, verify valve mechanical operation, and reprogram decoder address matching your controller configuration. Full zone control testing ensures proper activation and deactivation cycling.
Can Hunter controller programs be recovered if the display shows 'Memory Loss'?+
Yes, in most cases. Hunter controllers store scheduling logic in EEPROM memory. If backup battery fails, programs are lost but memory structure remains intact. Synchronics can often retrieve core programming parameters via firmware analysis. We replace backup batteries, reflash recovered programs, and restore your irrigation schedule. For complete data loss, we assist reconstruction from your original backup documentation or installation records.
What causes Hunter SensorPro wireless sensor signal loss in Indian agricultural areas?+
Hunter sensors operating in rural India experience RF interference from cellular base stations, agricultural machinery (tractors, pumps), and high-voltage power lines. Monsoon moisture also corrodes antenna connections. Synchronics performs RF spectrum analysis to identify interference sources, replaces worn batteries, repairs antenna joints, and optimizes sensor placement for stronger signal path to the receiver. We typically achieve reliable 200+ meter range after repair.
Is Synchronics certified or authorized by Hunter Industries for repairs?+
Synchronics is an independent third-party repair specialist with 30+ years experience in industrial electronics repair. While not an official Hunter authorized service center, we possess in-depth technical knowledge of Hunter controller architecture, access to technical manuals, and genuine replacement components. Our warranty-backed repairs meet original equipment specifications. Many Indian irrigation dealers and facility managers trust Synchronics for cost-effective, reliable Hunter equipment restoration.
How do I send my HUNTER unit for repair?+
Pack the unit securely and courier it to our Vadodara workshop. Include a note with the fault description and your contact details. We will log it into our system and WhatsApp you a job number within 24 hours of receipt. Doorstep pickup is available in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune.
What is the cost of repairing a HUNTER drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on HUNTER repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your HUNTER unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
