AIR-EAGLE®SR PLUS
2.4 GHz RF Transmitter
MODEL 36-HH-4-VBR
DESCRIPTION
The AIR-EAGLE SRPLUS TX Is a handheld R.F. transmitter capable of
sending up to four unique digital commands to an Air-Eagle SR
Receiver located up to 600 feet away. This model is equipped with a
vibrating feedback that confirms to the user that the transmitted signal
has reached the receiver. Any number of transmitters and receivers
can be combined to create a medium-range radio frequency system
that operates hazardous or hard-to-reach equipment from safe,
convenient locations. Eight user-programmable frequencies allow
multiple systems to operate simultaneously in the same area without
interference. This transmitter will automatically go into “sleep” mode
when no buttons are being depressed on the unit to dramatically
extend battery life.
INITIAL OPERATION SET-UP
This transmitter comes factory set to frequency 1 and power level 4 (max
range of 600 feet). If you wish tochange the default settings, followthe
instructions forFREQUENCY PROGRAMMING AND POWER LEVEL

CONTROLS & INDICATORS
TX LED
LED illuminates “RED” continuously while button is
depressed and unit is transmitting. When this LED blinks
briefly following a transmission, the battery needs to be
replaced. See Note #1
Note #1 –The low battery notification signals have been improvedto
providemore noticeable indications and to safely disable
communications BEFORE a low battery condition can corrupt internal
memory causing device failure. When a low battery is first detected,
the TX LED will blink several times after all buttons are released. If it is
possibleto replace the batteries now, please do so. If not, the operator
has approximately 15 more button activations. During this time, when
a button is depressed and held, the TX LED will blink SLOWLY. The
slow blinking will continue several more times after all buttons are
released. Transmissions are still being sent to the receiver during this
time. When a button is depressed and the TX LED is RAPIDLY
blinking, the RF output is disabled and NO signal will reach the
receiver. The batteries MUST NOW BE REPLACED to resume
normal functions.

FREQUENCY PROGRAMMING
At any time, you can check the current frequency setting by depressing
Buttons 3 & 4 simultaneously, for approximately 5 seconds, until the TX
LED is illuminated RED. Then release the buttons and watch as the TX
LED stays RED for about 8 seconds, goes out, then begins to blink. The
TX LED will blink RED one, two, three or four times for Frequencies 1 thru
4, or will blink GREEN one, two, three or four times for Frequencies 5 thru
8 accordingly. See table below for clarification.
LED Flashes:
Indicates Unit is Operating On:
RED –one time
Frequency 1
RED –two times
Frequency 2
RED –three times
Frequency 3
RED –four times
Frequency 4
GREEN –one time
Frequency 5
GREEN –two times
Frequency 6
GREEN –three times
Frequency 7
GREEN –four times
Frequency 8
To change the setting, follow these steps:
To select from Frequencies 1 thru 4:
1. Depress Buttons 3 & 4 simultaneously until the TX LED is
illuminated RED. (Approximately 5 seconds)
2. ReleaseButtons 3 & 4, then while the TX LED is still
illuminated RED, depress button #1 to select “Frequency 1” or
button #2 to select “Frequency 2” etc. If the transmit LED goes
out before you have selected a network, no settings will have
changed, and the LED will blink corresponding to the frequency
that the TX is currently set to. You must then begin again at
step 1 if you wish to change the current setting.
3. The TX LED will blink to confirm that your frequency selection
has been accepted, and then will go out. For instance, if you
have selected Frequency #1, the TX LED will blink RED once
to confirm. If you have selected Frequency #4, the TX LED
blinks RED four times to confirm.
To select from Frequencies 5 thru 8:
1. Depress Buttons 3 & 4 simultaneously until the TX LED is
illuminated GREEN. (Approximately 8 seconds)
2. ReleaseButtons 3 & 4, then while the TX LED is still
illuminated GREEN, depress button #1 to select “Frequency 5”
or button #2 to select “Frequency 6” etc. If the transmit LED
goes out before you have selected a network, no settings will
have changed, and the LED will blink corresponding to the
frequency that the TX is currently set to. You must then begin
again at step 1 if you wish tochange thecurrent setting.
3. The TX LED will blink to confirm that your frequency selection
has been accepted, and then will go out. For instance, if you
have selected Frequency #5, the TX LED will blink GREEN
once toconfirm. If you haveselected Frequency #6, the TX
LED blinks GREEN two times to confirm.
Programming is now complete, and the transmitter is active for normal
operation.
You may repeat the above procedure if you wish to change the frequency
at any time. See note* in SPECIFICATIONS.
POWER LEVEL PROGRAMMING
At any time, you can check the current power level by depressing Buttons
3 & 4 simultaneously, for approximately 11seconds, until the TX LED
starts blinking GREEN. Then release the buttons and watch as the TX
continues to blink for 10 seconds, goes out, then begins to blink again.
The TX LED will blink GREEN one, two, three or four times corresponding
the powerlevel setting (see table below)
LED Flashes:
Indicates Unit is Set To:
GREEN –one time
Power Level 1 –Approx 100 Ft Range
GREEN –two times
Power Level 2 –Approx 250 Ft Range
GREEN –three times
Power Level 3 –Approx 400 Ft Range
GREEN –four times
Power Level 4 –Approx 600 Ft Range
To change the setting, follow these steps:
To select a power level:
1. Depress Buttons 3 & 4 simultaneously until the TX LED is
blinking GREEN (Approximately 11 seconds)
2. ReleaseButtons 3 & 4, then while the TX LED is still blinking
GREEN, depress button #1 to select “Power Level 1” or button
#2 to select “Power Level 2” etc. If the transmit LED goes out
before you have selected a power level, no settings will have
changed, and the LED will blink corresponding to the power
levelthe TX is currently set to. Youmust then begin again at
step 1 if you wish to change the current setting.
3. The TX LED will blink to confirm that your power level selection
has been accepted, and then will go out. For instance, if you
have selected Power Level #1, the TX LED will blink GREEN
