User’ Guide for R-100-KIT
remote set and for CL-R1 individual,
handheld, remote control
Rev. 4-11-12
Introduction: When used with compatible irrigation systems,
the R-100-KIT remote control set and the CL-R1 individual
remote allow the user to activate watering zones with no need
to stand at the controller. For testing or troubleshooting the
system or providing supplemental watering, the user is free to
walk the landscape site, turning zones on and off.
The R-100-Kit remote set allows the user to plug its minireceiver unit into a variety of irrigation controllers to receive
and process the remote signal from the handheld transmitter.
The R-100-KIT remote kit from Irritrol
The CL-R1 individual, handheld remote transmitter is also
available, separately, as the compatible remote for Irritrol’s
CLIMATE LOGIC® wireless weather sensing system.

To teach the transmitter the maximum number of
stations on the controller:
To save time using the remote, set the number of stations in
the transmitter to match the number of stations on the
controller. For example, for a 12- station controller, set the
transmitter to a station maximum of twelve also. If only
using 10 of the 12, set max to 10.
Press the SETUP button once to view the Max Station
screen. Leave the Max Station screen in the display.
Use either the UP or the DOWN button to set the
desired maximum station number.
With the desired number displayed, press ENTER
Start Program “A or B or C”

13.
The line-of-sight (LOS) range from the remote, handheld
transmitters to their receivers is up to 1,000 feet. Objects in the
way and radio frequency interference will reduce the range.
Even with the above-mentioned environmental handicaps, the
range should be adequate for most residential applications.
The operation and performance of the remote kit with its
compatible controllers and the CL-R1 transmitter-only with the
CLIMATE LOGIC system are similar. This User’s Guide
explains the installation of the R-100-KIT and covers the use
and operations the remotes have in common. The CLIMATE
LOGIC weather-sensing system has its own installation and
User’s Guide.

“Hidden” features for remote control of the Unique® brand
of landscape lighting:
As an allied brand to Irritrol in the landscaping industry,
Unique plans to offer similar capabilities for remote control of
landscape lighting. For the convenience of landscaping and
irrigation professionals and by permission from Unique, the
commands for its remote lighting control are included in the
remote system described in this guide. The basic control
functions are furnished below (ahead of the description of
remote irrigation commands) in case of inadvertent activation
of lighting controls on an irrigation-only system.
Two switch over to Unique lighting remote control, after
activating the remote, repeatedly press the SETUP button

The handheld transmitter gets its power from a user-supplied,
9-volt, battery. The kit’s mini-receiver has a single cable and
plug for simple connection to most controllers. The controller
to which it is connected powers the CL-MR mini-receiver. The
adapter cable, CMR-ADP, is for connection to the early models
of the MC-E “Blue” (later models have the RJ socket) and for
the KwikDial controllers. Those controllers do not have RJ
sockets for their remote ports.
The 5-position header on one end of the cable slides on to a 5pin connector in the controller. On its other end, the cable
provides the RJ- connector for the CL-MR mini-receiver’s
cord.
QUICK START UP:
Install a fresh 9-volt battery into the CL-R1 Remote by
removing the three screws from the battery cover on the back
of the transmitter. Snap the battery on to the battery clip, place
the battery into the compartment, and reinstall the cover with
its three screws.

Route the single cable from the mini-receiver up into the
controller. If this application is for temporary use only, you can
just swing open the front panel or remove the access cover on
the controller for cable entry because you will unplug the cord
and close or re-install the panel after the remote session.
Find the female socket for connection to the RJ jack on the
mini-receiver’s cord. On the early models of the MC-E “Blue”
and on the KwikDial controllers, use the CMR-ADP adapter to
convert the 5-pin connector on the controller to the socket for
the jack. (Later models of the MC-E “Blue” have the RJ
socket.) On the Rain Dial-R (and other blue-faced Rain Dials)
and the Total Control-R, the connection is on the swing out
face panel, just under the edge of the circuit board.
For permanent installations, the CL-MR mini-receivers and
CMR-ADP cable adapters are sold separately.
If needed, to put the receiver in a better location for
reception, lengthen the cord from the mini-Receiver to the
controller with extension cables (50’ or less). The cables and
RJ connections must have six (6) conductors. NEVER PLUG
THE REMOTE’S CORD INTO A TELEPHONE SYSTEM.
Diagram 2: Controller Connection Points
The Irritrol Rain Dial-R and Rain Dial “Blue” do not require
the adapter cable. The cord from the mini-receiver plugs
directly into the edge of the front panel.
5.
R-100-KIT, Remote Kit: After connecting the receiver, it is
time to set the PIN numbers in the transmitter and receiver. Set
the PIN you plan to use in the transmitter first.
Setting the PIN in the handheld transmitter:
Press the red “MODE” PWR button to turn on the
remote transmitter
Press the “Setup” button twice; “SET PIN” appears
Use the UP or Down arrow button the set the first digit
of the PIN number on the left
Use the Right Arrow button to move to the second digit
With the UP or Down arrow button set the second PIN
number
Repeat the steps to set the other numbers in your 4-digit
PIN
When the 4-digit PIN is set, press the “Enter” button to
save the PIN
To teach the new PIN to the mini-receiver, (not CLIMATE
LOGIC’s receiver)
Turn transmitter on with the red “MODE/PWR” button
Press the Setup button twice; “SET PIN” screen appears
with your PIN displayed
Hold down the only button on the mini-receiver for
more than 8 seconds.
When the green light on the receiver begins flashing
rapidly, release the receiver’s button (intermittent
flashing will continue) press the ENTER button on your
transmitter. The red light on the receiver will blink
briefly.
The receiver has now learned the new PIN and has
exited the “learn” mode.

The Irritrol Total Control-R controller needs no adapter cable,
but its receptacle for the RJ jack is located further up on the
edge of the front panel than the Rain Dial-R.
6.
Early models of the Irritrol MC-E “Blue”, need the CMRADP cabler. The 5-pin connector is sandwiched between the
front panel and the circuit board in the lower right hand corner.
Attach the cable adapter to the controller with the black wire
up. Later models have an RJ connector in the same location.
Orient the cable adapter with the black wire up for the
MC-E “Blue” controller. (Later models have the RJ socket.)
The “Manual Program” feature does not work with MCE controllers. A remotely started program runs continuously.
7.
The KwikDial controller requires the CMR-ADP cable adapter
to attach its 5-Pin connector to the mini-receiver. Attach the
cable adapter to the controller with the blue wire up. The other
end of the cable adapter has the female socket for the RJ jack.
Orient the cable adapter with the blue wire up for the
KwikDial controller.
