DESCRIPTION
The AIR-EAGLE SRPLUS TX is an R.F. transmitter capable of sending
four independent dry contact input commands to an Air-Eagle SR
Receiver from up to 600 feet away. Any number of transmitters and
receivers can be combined to create a medium-range remote control
system that operates hazardous or hard-to-reach electrical apparatus
from safe, convenient locations. This unit has eight user-selectable
network frequencies to allow multiple systems to operate
simultaneously in the same area without interference.
