DESCRIPTION
The AIR-EAGLE XLT TX Is an R.F. transmitter capable of sending four
independent 5-24VDC input commands to an Air-Eagle XLT Receiver
located up to 2500 feet away (longer ranges can be achieved with
external high gain antennas) 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. Seven user-selectable frequencies allow multiple
systems to operate simultaneously in the same area without
interference.
