AIR-EAGLE®XLT
900 MHz RF Transmitter
MODEL 441-HH-4-VBR
DESCRIPTION
The AIR-EAGLE XLTTX Is a handheld R.F. transmitter capable of
sending up to four unique digital commands to any Air-Eagle XLT
Receiver. 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 long-range radio frequency system that operates hazardous
or hard-to-reach electrical apparatus from safe, convenient locations of
up to 2500 feet away. Seven user-programmable frequencies allow
multiple transmitters and receivers to operate simultaneously in the
same area without interference.
INITIAL OPERATION SET-UP
This transmitter comes ready to operate, with batteries installed, and
factory programmed to Frequency #1. No setup is necessary unless you
wish to change frequency or transmit mode. (See FREQUENCY

CONTROLS & INDICATORS
TX LED
Illuminates RED when transmitting in standard mode or
GREEN in repeater mode. When this LED blinks RED
during orfollowing a transmission, the battery needs to
be replaced. See Note #1
Note #1 –The low battery notification signals have been improved to
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
possible to 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 arestill 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
Please read through these instructions completely before beginning
programming procedure!
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 all buttons andwait ten seconds for
the LED to turn off. 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 7 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
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 any of the buttons 1 through 4 to
select frequency 1 through 4. The LED will blink according to
which frequency has been selected. If no button is pressed for
10 seconds, then the transmitter will blink back the current
frequency according to the chart above.
To select from Frequencies 5 thru 7:
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 any of the buttons 1 through 3 to
select frequency 5 through 7. The LED will blink according to
which frequency has been selected. If no button is pressed for
10 seconds, then the transmitter will blink back the current
frequency accordingto the chart above.
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.
TRANSMITTING MODE SETUP
The transmitter can beset to be in a standard transmission mode or in a
repeater mode where all receivers will repeat the transmission.
To select transmission mode:
1. Remove one battery fromthe transmitter
2. Press and hold button 4 while inserting the battery
3. Continue holding button 4 for 10seconds until the LED
starts flashing GREEN/RED quickly.
4. Press button 1 for standard mode or button 2 for repeating
mode.
5. LED will turn RED if standard mode selected or GREEN if
repeater mode selected.
6. If no button is pressed for 10 seconds, the LED will
illuminate to show the current transmission mode.
Once the transmission mode has been selected, the LED willcontinueto
illuminate RED (standard mode) or GREEN (repeater mode) during all
future transmissions.
NOTES ON TRANSMISSION MODE
The standardtransmission mode is best for situations where quick button
response is needed. This type of transmission is typically used when you’ll
be watching what you’re controlling, so repeating is not necessary.
For repeating mode there is a short delay added tothe button commands
to allow the system to repeat between multiple receivers withoutcollision.
This type of system is usually something where many units spread out
over a large area need to be controlled simultaneously and response
speed isn’t a priority.
Both types oftransmission can be usedsimultaneously in the same
system although repeating transmissions could cause some lag in the
standard transmissions.
