AIR-EAGLE®XLT
900MHz RF Receiver
MODEL 441-20800-DC
DESCRIPTION
The AIR-EAGLE XLTis an RF system designed formedium to long range
wireless remotecontrol of electrical apparatus ina variety of industrial
applications. Systemscanconsist of any number of receivers and
handheld or contact input transmitters working together. This receiver is
equipped with 8 independent relays that are capable of switching 5 amps
@ 120VAC or 30VDC. The relays are user programmable for momentary
or toggle/latching operation andcan be directly interfaced withthe
customer's equipment or P.L.C. Seven user selectable frequencies allow
multiple systems to be used inthe same area. Capable of receiving
remote signals transmitted from up to 2500 feet away (with the handheld
transmitter) or up to 2 miles away (with the contact input transmitter), the
Air-Eagle XLT utilizes spread-spectrum technology and provides the
utmost security and reliability even in the noisiest RF environments.
SERIES FEATURE
The “441” Series features repeating capability. Transmitters can be set
up to send “repeat signal packets”, and any transmitter or receiver
within its range will repeat the signal packet to help propagate
communication over widespread areas.
INSTALLATION
