DESCRIPTION
The AIR-EAGLE XLT TX is an R.F. transmitter designed to send a
single stop command to any Air-Eagle XLT Receiver. The TX and RX

hazardous or hard-to-reach electrical apparatus from safe, convenient
locations of up to 2500 feet away (longer ranges can be achieved
using external antennas). This unit is user-programmable for up eight
network frequencies to allow multiple transmitters and receivers to
operate simultaneously in the same area without interference.
