AIR-EAGLE®XLT
900 MHz RF Transmitter
MODEL 441AN-1000-120VAC
DESCRIPTION
The AIR-EAGLE XLT, MODEL 441AN-1000-120VAC Is an RF transmitter
capable of sending two 4-20mA or 0-5VDC inputs to a remote receiver.
Transmitters and receiver can be combined in any quantity to create a
long-range radio frequency system that monitors electrical apparatus
from safe, convenient locations of up to 2500 feet away (or longer with
optional antennas). This unit is user-programmable for up to eight
network frequencies to allow multiple systems to operate
simultaneously in the same area without interference.
INSTALLATION
1. Mount the AIR-EAGLE XLT TRANSMITTER in a convenient location
2. Install wiring to input terminalstrip.
3. Install antenna onto TNC connector onside of unit.
4. Plug supplied AC wall plug adapterinto 110VAC outlet.
INPUT OPTIONS & FREQUENCY SET-UP
This transmitter is factory set for 4-20mA input, 0.262 transmit speed, and
to operate onfrequency #1. If you wish tochange the default settings,
follow the instructions using the table below:
1) Remove power from unit
2) Remove top cover.
3) Select desired input options and/or frequency usingtable below.
4) Reattach cover and apply power.
5) Programming is now complete.

441AN-1000-120VAC
4-20mA Installation
The above diagram shows a 4-20mA sensor hooked to channel 1 input. The 250 Ohm input resistor will
drop a voltage of 1 Volt at 4mA and 5 Volts at 20mA. The sensor may be of any type and voltage that
has a 4-20mA output. Even if the sensor runs on a voltage higher than 5 volts the current is still
maintained between 4 and 20 milliamps so that the voltage drop on the resistor is always between 1 and
5 volts. Remaining voltage is dropped internally in the sensor. Loop powered sensors are not able to be
used on this particular unit.
