Brand: Hunter Industries SKU: ROAM-TR
Product Overview
The Hunter ROAM-TR is the handheld transmitter-only component for the standard Hunter ROAM irrigation remote-control system. It sends manual station and program commands to a compatible ROAM-R receiver connected to a Hunter controller through SmartPort. This listing does not include the receiver or SmartPort wiring harness.
The transmitter supports up to 240 stations, 128 selectable addresses, and ten preset remote run times from 1 to 90 minutes. The matching receiver and transmitter must be set to the same address. Under open-field line-of-sight conditions, the complete standard ROAM system has a published range of up to approximately 1,000 feet; buildings, metal surfaces, terrain, and radio interference can reduce actual range.
