DESCRIPTION

I
s a handheld R.F. transmitter capable of
sending up to 16 unique digital commands to any Air-Eagle XLT
Receiver. This model is equipped with a vibrating feedback that
confirms to the user that the transmitted signal has reached the
receiver. Any number of transmitters and receivers can be combined to
create a long-range radio frequency system that operates hazardous
or hard-to-reach electrical apparatus from safe, convenient locations of
up to 2500 feet away. Seven user-programmable frequencies allow
multiple transmitters and receivers to operate simultaneously in the
same area without interference.
INITIAL SET-UP
This transmitter comes ready to operate, with batteries installed, and
factory programmed to Frequency #1. No setup is necessary unless you
wish to change frequency or transmit mode. (See FREQUENCY
PROGRAMMING AND TRANSMITTING MODE SETUP on page 2).
GENERAL OPERATION
This transmitter sends up to 16 independent commands. Each button
sends an RF Code for that channel. Button 1 transmits channel 1
commands, button 2 transmits channel 2 commands etc. To send
commands 9 thru 16, the P/Shift button must be used. As noted under
CONTROLS & INDICATORS, the P/Shift button serves two purposes. As
the “P” button, it allows you to program the transmitter to operate on a
different fre
quency. As the “Shift” button, it allows you to send commands
9 thru 16 to the receiver.
To use as the “P” button, you must press and hold the button for
approximately 5 seconds to enter programming mode. (See
PROGRAMMING section for more details).
To us
e as the “Shift” button, press the P/Shift button momentarily. The TX
LED will begin to flash rapidly indicating you’re in the Shift mode. While in
shift mode pressing buttons 1 thru 8 transmit the higher numbered code
for that button. The transmitter will stay in the Shift mode as long as
buttons are being depressed within 10 seconds of one another. During
this time, the TX LED gives visual confirmation that you’re in Shift mode
by continuously flashing GREEN/RED rapidly. After 10 seconds has
elapsed with no buttons depressed, the transmitter will revert back to
standard mode and the TX LED will extinguish. If, while in Shift mode, you
wish to transmit a button 1 thru 8 command and don’t want to wait for the
Shift mode to time out, you can simply press the P/Shift button
momentarily to revert back to the standard mode.

Note #1
– The low battery notification signals have been improved to
provide more noticeable indications and to safely disable
communications BEFORE a low battery condition can corrupt internal
memory causing device failure. When a low battery is first detected,
the TX LED will blink several times after all buttons are released. If it is
possible to replace the batteries now, please do so. If not, the operator
has approximately 15 more button activations. During this time, when
a button is depressed and held, the TX LED will blink SLOWLY. The
slow blinking will continue several more times after all buttons are
released. Transmissions are still being sent to the receiver during this
time. When a button is depressed and the TX LED is RAPIDLY
blinking, the RF output is disabled, and NO signal will reach the
receiver. The batteries MUST NOW BE REPLACED to resume
normal functions.
Pushbuttons
1 thru 8
Transmit channel 1 thru 8 commands to the receiver
Pushbutton
P/Shift
The P/Shift button performs two functions:
1. If button is depressed momentarily and another
button is then pressed within 10 seconds, the higher
code for that button is transmitted. This allows for
transmission of pushbutton codes 9 thru 16.
2. If button is depressed for longer than 5 seconds,
the transmitter will enter “programming” mode. See
PROGRAMMING section.
