Brand: Hunter Industries SKU: ROAM-R
Product Overview
The Hunter ROAM-R is the receiver-only replacement component for the standard Hunter ROAM irrigation remote-control system. It plugs into a correctly installed Hunter SmartPort connection and receives commands from a compatible ROAM-TR handheld transmitter. This listing does not include the transmitter or SmartPort wiring harness.
When paired with a matching transmitter address, the receiver supports manual operation of individual stations or controller programs. The standard ROAM system has a published open-field line-of-sight range of up to approximately 1,000 feet, although actual range depends on terrain, buildings, metal surfaces, electrical interference, SmartPort location, and antenna orientation.
