AIR-EAGLE®XLT
900MHz RF Transceiver
MODEL 441-40400-DC
DESCRIPTION
The AIR-EAGLE XLTRFTRANSCEIVER IS a four I/O unitdesigned to
transmit and receive unique signals from one or more transceivers located
up to 2500 feet (or more) away. This modelcomes equipped withfour
contact inputs andfour 5amp SPDT relay outputs. This allows the user to
not only transmit information out but receive aconfirmingsignal back that
the operation was performed. The Air-Eagle XLT TRXis user-
programmable for up seven network frequencies to allow multiple systems
to operate simultaneously in the same area and utilizes spread-spectrum
technology to provide the utmostsecurity and reliability even in the
noisiest RF environments. A terminal strip has been provided for
interfacing with external dry contactinputs as well as dry contact relay
outputs. This unit can operate remote machinery such as pumps, gates,
chutes etc.

GENERAL OPERATION
Contact closures on inputs 1 thru 4 in the control transceiver transmit
to activate relay #1 thru #4 in the remote transceiver. Inputs from the
remote equipment provide closures to remote transceiver that transmit
to energize relays #1 thru #4 in the control transceiver.

SETTINGS
The unit is shipped from the factory with SEL1 switches in the open
positions. The relays will operate as maintained momentary, the unit is
transmitting & receiving channel 1 thru 4 commands, and it is operating on
frequency 1. If you wish to change these default settings, follow the
instructions on the table below.
1) Remove power from unit
2) Remove top cover.
3) Select desired relay operation, channel codes and/or network
frequency using table below.
4) Reattach cover and apply power.
5) Programming is now complete.
