Brand: Hunter Industries SKU: ROAMXL-KIT
Product Overview
The Hunter ROAMXL-KIT is the complete long-range irrigation remote-control package for compatible Hunter controllers equipped with SmartPort. It allows a technician to start and stop individual stations or complete controller programs from across large commercial, municipal, campus, multifamily, or estate properties during testing, maintenance, repair, and winterization.
Under open-field line-of-sight conditions, the ROAM XL system has a published range of up to approximately 2 miles. Actual range depends on terrain, buildings, metal surfaces, electrical interference, SmartPort location, and receiver orientation. The system 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.
The kit includes the handheld transmitter, receiver, SmartPort wiring harness, four AAA batteries, and a protective plastic carrying case. The transmitter and receiver operate in the 27 MHz band and must use matching addresses. Hunter also identifies ROAM XL compatibility with supported legacy ICR transmitters and receivers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the complete ROAM XL package?
Yes. It includes the transmitter, receiver, SmartPort harness, four AAA batteries, and carrying case.
Will remote operation overwrite the controller’s schedule?
No. The remote starts manual station or program operation without replacing the controller’s normal automatic schedule.
