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.
