s a handheld R.F. transmitter capable of
sending a single digital command to an Air-Eagle XLT Plus receiver
located up to 5000 feet away. The TXs and RXs can be combined in
any quantity to create a long-range radio frequency system that
operates hazardous or hard-to-reach electrical apparatus from safe,
convenient locations. Eight user-selectable frequencies allow multiple
systems to operate simultaneously in the same area without
interference.
This transmitter will automatically go into “sleep” mode
when not in use to dramatically extend battery life.
INITIAL OPERATION & SET-UP
This transmitter comes ready to operate, with batteries installed, and at
the factory default settings. No setup is necessary unless you wish to
change the frequency, or which relay the button will operate. If so, follow
the steps outlined on the next page.

CONTROLS & INDICATORS
TX LED
Illuminates continuously while button is depressed
and unit is transmitting. When this LED blinks briefly
following a transmission, the battery needs to be
replaced. See note #1*
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.
