AIR-EAGLE®XLT
900 MHz RF Transmitter
MODEL 441P-HH-4-002-CL
DESCRIPTION
The AIR-EAGLE XLT MODEL 441P-HH-4-002-CL Is a handheld R.F.
transmitter designed to work with receiver model 441AN/DP-5-0002 to
provide wireless on/off and speed control of equipment at distances up
to 600 feet. Buttons 1 & 3 send On/Off commands to a dry contact
relay output and buttons 2 & 4 increase and decrease an analog
output. The TX LED gives feedback of the range of analog output the
receiver is producing. Eight user-programmable frequencies allow
multiple systems 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

CONTROLS & INDICATORS
Button 1
Transmits to energize relay in receiver
Button 3
Transmits to de-energize relay in receiver
TX LED illuminates SOLID RED when transmitting in standard mode
and SOLID GREEN when transmitting in repeater mode
Button 2
Transmits to increase analog output in receiver
Button 4
Transmits to decrease analog output in receiver
TX LED provides the followingfeedback of the analog output when
buttons 2 or 4 are depressed and the unit is transmitting analog
commands:
•FAST GREEN BLINK –Analog Output at 100%
•MEDIUM GREEN BLINK –AnalogOutput at 76-99%
•SLOW GREEN BLINK –Analog Output at 51-75%
•MEDIUM RED BLINK –Analog Output at 26-50%
•SLOW RED BLINK –Analog Output at 1-25%
•FAST RED BLINK –AnalogOutput at 0%
Note #1 –If you press buttons 2 or 4 momentarily, the LED will flashto
show thecurrent analog output percentage range
Note #2 –Thelow battery indication is provided only when any buttons
are released. The low battery notification signals have been improved
to provide more 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 willcontinue several moretimes after all buttons are released.
Transmissions are still being sent to the receiver duringthistime. When
a button is depressed and the TX LED is RAPIDLY blinking, the RF
output is disabled and NOsignal 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 4 seconds, until the TX
LED is illuminated “RED”. Then release the buttons and watch until the TX
LED 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 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
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 4 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 LEDgoes
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
toconfirm. 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 7 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 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 #5, the TX LED will blink “GREEN”
once to confirm. If you have selected 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.

TRANSMITTING MODE SETUP
The transmitter can beset to be in astandard 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 4for 10 seconds 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 will continue to
illuminate RED (standard mode) or GREEN (repeater mode) during all
future transmissions.
NOTES ON TRANSMISSION MODE
The standard transmission 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 wheremany 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.
