AIR-EAGLE®XLT PLUS
900MHz RF Transceiver
MODEL 461-40800-DC
DESCRIPTION
The AIR-EAGLE XLT PLUS RF TRANSCEIVER provides two-way wireless
control of electronic equipment and apparatus at distances up to 1 mile
away (longer ranges can be achieved with external antennas). This
model comes equipped with eight dry contact inputs and eight relay
outputs. This allows the user to not only transmit information out, but
receive a confirming signal back that the operation was performed A
terminal strip has been provided for interfacing with external dry
contact inputs as well as dry contact relay outputs. The Air-Eagle XLT
TRX is user-programmable for up eight network frequencies to allow
multiple systems to operate simultaneously in the same area.
INSTALLATION
DISCONNECT DC Power from all equipment before installation.
1. Mount the AIR-EAGLE XLT PLUS RECEIVER in a convenient location.
2. Install input and output wiring to terminal strip.
3. Install antenna to connector located on the right side on the
enclosure.
4. Connect supplied power input cable to your external power source.

GENERAL OPERATION
Contact closures on inputs 1 thru 8 in the control transceiver transmit
to activate relays #1 thru #8 in the remote transceiver. Inputs from the
remote equipment provide closures to remote transceiver that transmit
to energize relays 1 thru 8 in the control transceiver.
