INTRODUCTION ...............................................................................................
Finally there’s an affordable remote control system designed with the commercial irrigation contractor in mind. Hunter is
pleased to introduce the Institutional Commercial Remote (ICR). This rugged remote design offers similar functionality as
our SRR remote, but with longer range capability.
With the ICR there’s no need to walk back and forth to the controller to conduct manual watering operations when doing
maintenance or repair work on your irrigation systems. Also, winterization can be done quickly and easily with one worker
instead of two.
The ICR is designed to be rugged, and water resistant. Its large LCD display and push button design makes it easy to oper-
ate. Best of all, with an operating range from  to 1 mile, you’ll be able to conduct remote operations on even the largest
irrigation systems.
The following instructions provide information on installing, setting up, and operating your ICR.

To utilize the ICR remote control system, your controller
must be equipped with a SmartPort® wiring harness. This
wiring harness provides the communication port where the
ICR receiver is attached. The SmartPort® can be connected
to Hunter SRC, Pro-C and ICC controllers. A SmartPort®
wiring harness is provided with your ICR remote system.
The typical SmartPort® location is approximately 12" below
the controller. The recommended installation procedure for
this location would be as follows:
SmartPort® WIRING HARNESS .......................................................................
INSTALLING THE SmartPort® WIRING HARNESS ......................................
1. Install a " female threaded “Tee” in the field wiring
conduit approximately 12" below the controller.
2. Feed the red, white, and blue wires of the SmartPort®
through the base of the “Tee” and into the controller
wiring compartment as shown in the following figures.
NOTE: The harness may be installed outdoors
by bringing the conduit through an exterior
wall, then installing the appropriate fitting. NOTE: For installations where the receiver
will be installed permanently on an outside
wall, make certain that the SmartPort® is the
version with an o-ring seal.

Although the ICR Receiver is water
resistant, it is recommended that the
SmartPort® connector and Receiver
be mounted indoors if it is to be left
permanently mounted to the controller.
TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS ................................................................................
The ICR remote system is designed to work right out of
the box. This means that other than installing the battery,
you may choose to skip this entire section. However, we
recommend that you read it so that you can customize your
ICR to add functionality and security to your system.
