2.4 GHz RF Transmitter
MODEL 38-1500
DESCRIPTION
The AIR-EAGLE SR PLUS TXIs a handheld R.F. transmitter capable of
sending up to sixteen unique digital commands to an Air-Eagle SR
Receiver located up to 300 feet away. Any number of transmitters and
receivers can be combined to create a short 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.
