necessary and pass all commands on to any receiver within range. This
receiver is equipped with 3 independent relays, capable of switching 5
amps @ 120VAC or 30VDC, whichcan be directly interfaced with the
customer's equipment or P.L.C. Eight userselectable frequencies allow
multiple systems to be used inthe same area. TheAir-Eagle XLT Plus
can receive remote signals transmitted from up to 5000 feet away (with a
handheld transmitter) or up to 10 miles away (with a stationary transmitter
and external high gain antennas.
