SIGNAL RANGE
Max range statements are estimates based on a clear line of sight with few interferences. Actual range will
vary based on transmitting power, orientation of transmitter and receiver, height of transmitting and
receiving antennas, weather conditions, electronic interference, terrain, and physical obstacles, including
but not limited to; walls, building structures, trees (foliage), metal objects, and landscape (hills, mountains).
WIRELESS STOP SYSTEMS WORK IN CONJUCTION WITH
HARD-WIRED SYSTEMS.
Wireless Stop and E-Stop devices must work in conjunction with a hard-wired
system. A wireless system should never be considered a primary life-saving device.
At least one hard-wired switch must be available in the event the wireless signal is
lost. Failure to comply may result in serious injury or death to personnel and
damage to equipment.

INTRODUCTION
The Air-Eagle XLT PLUS TX is a handheld R.F. transmitter capable of operating the relays of an Air-
Eagle XLT PLUS Receiver located up to 5000 feet away. Eight user-programmable frequencies allow
multiple systems to operate simultaneously in the same area without interference. This transmitter was
designed to work with the 465P-8D-ESTOP receiver.
INITIAL OPERATION SET-UP
This transmitter comes ready to operate factory programmed to Frequency #1, Unit “None” and set to
high power. See “Menu Settings” for information on changing the frequency, power level or unit number.
CONTROLS & INDICATORS
TX Display
While transmitting a beacon the display will rotate a character around the
outside of the screen to show that it’s transmitting. The character will be as
follows:
-Battery is discharging
+Battery is charging
LBattery is discharging, Level is below 10% (LOW BATTERY)
FBattery is charging, Level is 100% (BATTERY FULL)
E-Stop Button
When pressed the display will blink “STOP” and the relays in the receiver will de-
energize.
Pushbuttons 1, 2, 3 and 4
When any of these buttons is pressed while a beacon is being transmitted, the
display will show the frequency, unit # and battery level. See “Display”
Pushbutton 2 (MENU)
This button brings up the menu options for programming frequency, power level,
or unit #. See “Menu Settings” for more information.
Power/Select Button
Turns power on or off when held for 3 seconds. This button also works with
button 2 in the “Menu Settings”.
Pushbutton 4
Use this button to checksignal strength between the transmitter and receiver.
See “Signal Strength” section for more information.
Charging Jack
The micro-USB connector on the left side of the unit is for charging the battery.
Use the supplied micro-USB cable and any power source that can supply 5VDC
at 1 amp.

MENU SETTINGS
Press the “MENU” button (button 2) to bring up the programming selections. Pressing the “MENU” button
again will cycle through the selections as follows:
Frequency →Power Level →Unit Number →then back to frequency if pressed again.
FREQUENCY
The frequency number from 1 –8 should be displayed on the bottom line. Pressing the Power/Select
button will bring up a blinking cursor and allow the frequency to be changed. Press the Power/Select
button until the desired frequency is selected then Press Menu to save. The display should show
Saving….. then “Done” when complete.
POWER LEVEL
The power level, either “Low”, “Mid”, or “High”, should be displayed on the bottom line. Pressing the
Power/Select button will bring up the blinking cursor and allow the power level to be changed to any of
the aforementioned settings. Press the Power/Select button to change the setting then the Menu button to
save the setting.
UNIT NUMBER
When first received the transmitter Unit number will be “None”. This must be set to either Unit #1 or Unit
#2 before the transmitter can be used. The Unit number will be saved in EEPROM memory so that it will
always save this setting. It will be cleared back to “None” if “Clear” is selected.
Press the Power/Select button to bring up the flashing cursor. Pressing Power/Select again will cycle
through Unit # 1…Unit #2...Clear. Press “Menu” when the correct unit number is selected to save the
setting. You’ll see “Saving…” then “Done” when complete.
SYSTEM ON/OFF
SYSTEM ON
Depress and hold the Power/Select button. The display will show 3….2….1… then “Power On” when the
unit has turned on. Release the Power/Select button and the unit will begin to transmit a beacon signal to
the receiver approximately every 0.5 seconds
NOTE: If Unit Number hasn’t been set the display will show “Select Unit # First”. See the “UNIT
NUMBER” section in “MENU SETTINGS”
SYSTEM OFF
Depress and hold the Power/Select button. The display will count down 3…2…1 then “Power Off” when
the unit has turned off. At this point the beacon will stop and a log out code will be transmitted to the
receiver. This will turn off the corresponding ‘login’ relay on the receiver and allow the transmitter to log
back in later
NOTE: If the Power/Select button is released at any point during the power on/off countdown the unit will
stay in its current state and the countdown timer will reset.

SIGNAL STRENGTH
The signal strength between the transmitter and receiver can be checked by using button 4. Press and
hold button 4 of the transmitter. A countdown will start from 3 to 1 then START. When it says “START”
release button 4. A row of dots will show up on the screen and they will disappear one by one as the
signal strength is being checked. Once all of the dots disappear the receiver will calculate the signal
strength and it will be transmitted back to the transmitter and displayed on the screen.
The signal strength is shown in dBm. The strongest value is -40dBm and the weakest is around -112
dBm.
If the transmitter doesn’t get an acknowledgement from the receiver it will show “Out of Range”. This
would happen if the receiver were completely out of the signal area or on another channel or not even
powered on.
If the receiver misses too many of the transmissions, then it won’t be able to do a proper calculation of
signal strength and will send “Error”. If this is the case, then it is likely that either there is some strong
interference in the band, or the receiver is on the fringe of being completely out of range. Try changing
the frequency of the transmitter and receiver or move to a closer or less obstructed position.
CHARGING
Use only the supplied charger or one that supplies 5V and at least 1 amp of current. When the charger is
plugged into the jack the display will show “Charging” and the current battery level in %.
When pressing the power/select button normally it shows the battery level with BAT: over top of it. While
the charger is plugged in the “BAT” will change to “CHG” to show that it is charging.
When the charger is unplugged, the display will show “Battery” and the current level below it to show that
the charger is now unplugged. The “CHG” will change back to “BAT” in the information display.
When the battery gets to 100% charge the display will blink “Fully Charged” every few seconds until the
charger is unplugged.
While the beacon is being transmitted the display will show the charge state with a rotating character on
the screen. See “TX Display” under “Controls and Indicators” above
DISPLAY
At any time while the beacon is being transmitted if buttons 1 through 4 are pressed the unit will show a
status display. If no beacon is being transmitted then buttons 1, 3 and 4 will show this display and button
2 will bring up the Menu Settings. This shows the Frequency, Unit # and Battery Level as such:
FRQ-UNIT BAT:
1-1 95%
The Unit number will show 0 if no unit number has been set up yet. BAT will change to CHG if the charger
is plugged in.
LOW BATTERY
When the battery goes below 10% charge level the unit will show an “L” rotating on the screen when the
beacon is transmitting. It is advised to charge as soon as possible. The unit will operate normally with the
charger plugged in and the display will change to a ‘+’ character for the beacon indicator.
