Finally, there’s no need to walk back to the controller to start and stop a manual watering cycle when doing
maintenance or repair work on your irrigation system. Finally, winterization can be done quickly and easily
with one worker instead of two. Finally no more going back to the garage to start or stop a manual irrigation
cycle.
Hunter is pleased to introduce the SRR–A Simple and Reliable Remote Control System for use with our SRC,
Pro-C, ICC, and future controllers. The SRR can offer you features other remotes can’t, at a price you can afford.
The SRR transmitter is made of sturdy ABS and has no external antenna to get in the way. It features a large
LCD and four-button operation. Don’t let its size fool you–while it’s small enough to fit in your shirt pocket, it
has an open field range of up to 450 feet.
The large LCD display and simple four-button control make the SRR a snap to use. Simply press the or
keys to display the station or program you want to turn on or off, then press the or button–what could
be easier? Don’t worry about forgetting to turn off the SRR. After several minutes of inactivity the unit turns
itself off to extend battery life. Then, the unit can be turned back on by touching any button. A standard 9-volt
alkaline battery will last an entire season for a contractor, and years for a homeowner.
We believe the SRR is the simplest remote control available. It is so easy to use that you will need this
booklet very little after installation. If you do have a question, keep this in a safe place for easy reference.
Congratulations– your life just got a little easier!

To utilize the SRR Remote Control System, your
controller must be equipped with the SmartPort
wiring/harness connection kit. This wiring harness
provides the connection port where the SRR receiver
is attached.
The SmartPort wiring harness is included with the
purchase of the SRR. Additional SmartPorts may
be purchased separately to allow you to utilize the
transmitter and receiver with additional Hunter
controllers.

NOTE: Any extension of the wires
provided with the standard wiring
harness may result in an error message
on the controller display and possible
malfunction of the remote due to radio
interference. In some situations,
lengthening of the standard harness
may work fine, in others it may not
work at all (it is site specific). In
either case, it is recommended that
installations where the SmartPort®
outlet will be located more than 5 feet
from the controller that the installation
be done using the shielded cable
wiring harness (SRR-SCWH) to
minimize the possible effects of
electrical noise. See page 7 for
information.
1. Install a ½" female threaded “Tee” in the field
wiring conduit approximately 12" from the SRC,
ICC, and Pro-C controllers.
NOTE: While the SmartPort has a
protective cover to allow for outdoor
installation, the SRR Receiver should
only be used on a temporary basis,
as the Receiver is not designated for
permanent outdoor mounting.
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
Figure 1.
3. Screw the SmartPort housing into the “Tee”
(or other fitting) as shown in Figure 1.
