AIR-EAGLE®SR PLUS
2.4 GHz RF Transmitter
MODEL 36U-HH-9
DESCRIPTION
The AIR-EAGLE SRPLUS TX Is a handheld R.F. transmitter capable of
sending up to sixteen unique digital commands to an Air-Eagle SR
Receiver located up to 600 feet away. 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 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
PROGRAMMING on page 2.
GENERAL OPERATION
This transmitter sends up to 16 independent commands. Each button
sends an RF Code for that channel. Button 1 transmits channel 1
commands, button 2 transmits channel 2 commands etc. To send
commands 9 thru 16, the P/Shift buttonmust be used. As noted under
CONTROLS & INDICATORS, the P/Shift buttonserves two purposes. As
the “P” button, it allows you to program the transmitter to operate on a
different frequency. As the “Shift” button, it allows you to send commands
9 thru 16to the receiver.
To use as the “P” button, you must press and hold the button for
approximately 5 seconds to enter programming mode. (See
PROGRAMMING section for more details).
To use as the “Shift” button, press the P/Shift button momentarily. The TX
LED will begin to flash rapidly indicating you’re in the Shift mode. While in
shift mode pressing buttons 1 thru 8 transmit the higher numbered code
for that button. The transmitter will stay in the Shift mode as long as
buttons are being depressed within10 seconds of one another. During
this time, the TX LED gives visual confirmation that you’re in Shift mode
by continuously flashing GREEN/RED rapidly. After 10 seconds has
elapsed with no buttons depressed, the transmitter will revert back to
standard mode and the TX LED will extinguish. If, while in Shift mode, you
wish to transmit a button 1 thru 8 command and don’t want to wait for the
Shift mode totime out, you can simply press theP/Shift button
momentarily to revert back to the standard mode.

CONTROLS & INDICATORS
TX LED
LED illuminates “RED” continuously while button is
depressed and unit is transmitting. When this LED
blinks during a transmission, the battery needs to
be recharged.

Pushbutton
P/Shift
The P/Shift button performs three functions:
1. If button is depressed momentarily and another
button is then pressed within 10 seconds, the
higher code for that button is transmitted. This
allows for transmission of pushbutton codes 9 thru
16.
2. If button is depressed for longerthan 5 seconds,
the transmitter will enter “programming” mode.
See PROGRAMMING section.
3. See “Battery Charge Status”for using P/shift to
see battery level.

FREQUENCY PROGRAMMING
Please read through these instructions completely before beginning
programming procedure!
At any time, you can check the current frequency setting by depressing
theP/Shift button, for approximately 5 seconds, untilthe TX LED is
illuminated RED. Then release theP/Shift button and watch as the TX
LED stays RED for about 10seconds, 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 8:
1. Depress theP/Shift button until the TX LED is illuminated RED.
(Approximately 5 seconds)
2. Release the P/Shift button, 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 selectedFrequency #6, the TX LED
blinks GREEN two times to confirm.
Programming is now complete andthe 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 the
P/Shift Button, for approximately 8 seconds, until the TX LED starts
BLINKING GREEN. Then release the buttons andwatch 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 the P/Shift Button until the TX LED is BLINKING
GREEN (Approximately 8 seconds)
2. Release the P/Shift Button,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 level the TX is currently set to. You must then begin
again at step 1 if you wish tochange 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
once to confirm. If you have selected Power Level #3, the TX
LED blinks GREENthree times to confirm.
