Irritrol CL-R1 Climate Logic Remote Transmitter — Wireless Irrigation Remote Control
The Irritrol CL-R1 Climate Logic Remote Transmitter is the dedicated handheld wireless remote for the Irritrol Climate Logic weather-sensing irrigation system. Designed for landscape professionals and homeowners who already use Climate Logic, the CL-R1 lets you start, stop, and manage irrigation zones from up to 1,000 feet away (line-of-sight) — without walking back to the controller.
What Is the CL-R1?
The CL-R1 is the transmitter-only component of the Climate Logic remote system. Unlike the R-100-KIT (which bundles a transmitter and mini-receiver), the CL-R1 communicates directly with the Climate Logic receiver module already connected to your controller. If you already have a Climate Logic system installed, the CL-R1 is all you need to add wireless remote control capability.
How Does It Work with Climate Logic?
The Climate Logic weather-sensing system transforms a compatible Irritrol or Toro controller into an automatic weather-following irrigation manager. It monitors real-time temperature, solar radiation, and precipitation, then adjusts run times daily to match actual weather conditions. The CL-R1 remote transmitter pairs to the Climate Logic receiver module via a secure 4-digit PIN, giving you on-the-fly control of:
- Manual station start and stop
- Program activation and cancellation
- Water adjustment overrides
- System status checks

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the mini-receiver (CL-MR) to use the CL-R1?
No. The CL-R1 communicates directly with the Climate Logic receiver module (CL-M1) that is already part of your Climate Logic system. The mini-receiver is only needed if you do not have Climate Logic and want to use the R-100-KIT remote set with a compatible controller.
How far can the CL-R1 reach?
The CL-R1 has a rated signal range of 1,000 feet line-of-sight. Walls, buildings, and heavy vegetation can reduce effective range.
What battery does the CL-R1 use?
A standard 9-volt battery (not included). To install, remove the three screws from the battery cover on the back, snap the battery onto the clip, and reattach the cover.
Can I use the CL-R1 with a Hunter controller?
The CL-R1 is designed for Irritrol and Toro controllers that are compatible with the Climate Logic system. Hunter controllers use a different remote protocol (ROAM) and are not compatible with the CL-R1.
How do I pair the CL-R1 with my Climate Logic system?
Set a matching 4-digit PIN in both the handheld transmitter and the Climate Logic receiver module. On the transmitter, press MODE/PWR, then SETUP twice to reach “SET PIN,” and enter your chosen 4-digit code. Then set the same PIN on the receiver module via its MENU > Remote PIN screen.
