AIR-EAGLE®XLT
900 MHz RF Receiver
MODEL 441P-8-ESTOP-DC
DESCRIPTION
The AIR-EAGLE XLTis an RF system designed for long range wireless
remote control of electrical apparatus in a variety of industrial applications.
This receiver has been specificallydesigned forE-Stop applications. It
links with anE-stop transmitter for failsafe operation. Dipswitches allow
the user to select link-loss shutdown times, relay operation and whether
power must be recycled to reset thesystem. The relays can switch up to 5
amps @120VAC or 30VDC and can be directly interfaced with the
customer's equipment or P.L.C. Seven user selectable frequencies allow
multiple systems to be used in the same area. This receiver is capable of
receiving remote signals transmitted from up to 2500 feet away.
INSTALLATION
DISCONNECT DC Power from all equipment before installation.
1. Mount the AIR-EAGLE XLT RECEIVER in a convenient location.
2. Select options & frequency (See OPTIONS & FREQUENCY SET-
UP)
3. Install relay wiring to terminal strip.
4. Install antenna onto connector located on the right side on the

GENERAL OPERATION
Prior to operation the user selects various options that control the link-loss
shutdown, relay activation and system reset. (See OPTIONS &
FREQUENCY SET-UP).
When power is applied to the receiver, all relays will be in their de-
energized state. When power is applied to the E-stop transmitter, it
immediately begins sendinga beacon signalthatcauses all relays inthe
receiver to energize, indicating thecommunications link. Upon an E-stop
command, the selected relays immediately de-energize. Upon specified
link-losstime, the selected relays de-energize. The system will then need
to be manually reset or will automatically come back online as designated
by the system operation option selected.
