Frequently Asked Questions
What is included with the Hunter ROAMXL-TR transmitter?
The ROAMXL-TR includes the handheld transmitter and 4 AAA batteries. It does not include a receiver or
SmartPort harness — order the ROAMXL-R separately if you need the controller-side receiver.
Can I use one ROAMXL-TR transmitter on multiple job sites?
Yes. Program matching addresses on each site’s ROAM XL receiver, then carry a single ROAMXL-TR from site
to site for remote manual watering, diagnostics, and winterization without walking back to the controller.
Does the ROAMXL-TR work with ROAM LR receivers?
No. ROAM XL and ROAM LR use different radio frequencies and are not cross-compatible. Use ROAMXL-TR only
with ROAM XL or legacy ICR receivers.
How far will the Hunter ROAMXL-TR reach?
Up to 2 miles line-of-sight. Through buildings and obstructions the reliable range is shorter, but the
27 MHz signal is designed for large commercial sites such as campuses, shopping centers, and multi-unit
properties.
