User's Manual

NOTE: The ICR remote can activate any station

on the controller whether the controller dial

is in the “System Off”, “Run” or “Run/Bypass

Sensor” modes. If a sensor device has been

wired to the controller, the ICR will not

override the sensor for manual operation.

The ICR is designed as an extended range remote that

should meet the range requirements for even the largest

irrigation systems. The maximum range of transmission will

vary from approximately ½ mile to 2 miles depending upon

the site terrain and the location of the Receiver.

Listed below are a few steps to assure that you are

getting the maximum range possible:

1. Do not install the SmartPort

wiring harness (that the

Receiver connects to) near large sources of metal such

as power meters, water pipes, and metal siding.

2. Do not install the SmartPort wiring harness in a

basement or underground location.

3. For maximum range in all directions from the Receiver,

the Receiver antennae should be pointed straight up

(vertically). If the Receiver is mounted with its antennae

oriented horizontally, reception will be very good if the

Transmitter is on either side of the antennae, but poor if

it is facing the end of the antennae.

4. When operating the Transmitter, hold the Transmitter as

vertical as possible and turn and face the direction of the

Receiver even though it may be a long way away.
