Brand: Hunter Industries SKU: ROAM-XL-TR
Product Overview
The Hunter ROAM-XL-TR is the handheld transmitter component for the long-range Hunter ROAM XL irrigation remote-control system. It sends manual station and program commands to a compatible ROAM XL receiver connected to a Hunter controller through SmartPort. This listing includes the transmitter and four AAA batteries; it does not include the receiver, SmartPort wiring harness, or carrying case.
When paired with a compatible receiver, the ROAM XL system provides an open-field line-of-sight range of up to approximately 2 miles. The transmitter supports 128 selectable addresses, up to 48 stations through the residential remote protocol, or up to 240 stations through the commercial protocol. Ten preset remote run times range from 1 to 90 minutes, and manual operation does not overwrite the controller’s normal automatic schedule.
The transmitter operates in the 27 MHz band and displays remaining battery life. Hunter identifies ROAM XL transmitter compatibility with supported legacy ICR receivers, allowing the transmitter to be carried between properly equipped sites.
