AIR-EAGLE®XLT PLUS
900 MHz RF Transmitter
MODEL 461-HH-1
DESCRIPTION
The AIR-EAGLE XLT PLUS TX Is a handheld R.F. transmitter capable of
sending a single digital command to an Air-Eagle XLT Plus receiver
located up to 5000 feet away. The TXs and RXs can be combined in
any quantity to create a long-range radio frequency system that
operates hazardous or hard-to-reach electrical apparatus from safe,
convenient locations. Eight user-selectable frequencies allow multiple
systems to operate simultaneously in the same area without
interference. This transmitter will automatically go into “sleep” mode
when not in use to dramatically extend battery life.
INITIAL OPERATION & SET-UP
This transmitter comes ready to operate, with batteries installed, and at
thefactory default settings. No setup is necessary unless you wishto
change the frequency, or which relay the button will operate. If so, follow
the steps outlined on the next page.

CONTROLS & INDICATORS
TX LED
Illuminates continuously while button is depressed
and unit is transmitting. When this LED blinks briefly
following a transmission, the battery needs to be
replaced. See note #1*
Note #1 –The low battery notification signals have been improvedto
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 are still 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.
Pushbutton

FREQUENCY PROGRAMMING
Please read through these instructions completely before beginning
programming procedure!
All transmitters areset toFrequency #1 by default. The frequency canbe
changed at any time by following the procedure below. Once changed, we
recommend labeling the transmitter with the selected frequency number.
Frequency settings will not be changed during normal battery
replacement.
The TX LED guides youthrough the programming procedure. To change
the setting, follow these steps:
To select from Frequencies 1 thru 8:
1. Remove the battery cover from the back of the transmitter
2. Remove ONE of the batteries from the holder (be sureto note
polarity so it is re-inserted properly in the following steps)
3. Using one hand, depress and hold down Button 1 on the
transmitter. While holding button down, re-insert the battery into
the holder.
4. With button #1 still depressed and battery in holder, keep the
button pressed for 5 seconds until the LED turns RED.
5. Release button #1 andthe TX LEDwill begin to blink. As
shown in chart above, the TX LED will blink “RED” for
frequencies 1 thru 4, and will blink “GREEN” for frequencies 5
thru 7.
6. To set the frequency, you must momentarily press button #1
immediately after the LED has blinked the number of times for
the desired frequency. For example, to set to frequency 6,
you release button #1 and watch as the LED blinks RED
four times, then GREEN twice, THEN quickly press the
button to set the TX to frequency 6.
Press Button Immediately After:
To Set Unit To:
The First RED Flash

7. Once you have momentarily pressed the button to set the
frequency, the TX LED will confirm your selection by blinking
the numbers of times forthe frequency that was set. (Note,if
the confirmation shows the incorrect frequency, simply restart
the programming from Step 1.
8. Once the properselection has been confirmed, programming is
complete. Replace battery cover tightly.
NOTE –if you fail to select a frequency during the programming
procedure the transmitter will blink the frequency currently set in the
transmitter as shown in the chart above. This can be used to view
the transmitter’s frequency without changing it.
You may repeat the above procedure if you wish to change the frequency
at any time. See note* in SPECIFICATIONS.
