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.
