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, ASTOP, and E-STOP SYSTEMS Wireless E-STOP systems should never be considered a primary life-saving device. At least one hard-wired switch must be available in the event the wireless system is not operational. Failure to comply may result in serious injury or death to personnel and damage to equipment. Wireless STOP and ASTOP transmitters are not failsafe emergency stop controls. They are NOT to be used as a life-saving device. They are designed for wireless control of equipment or vehicle remote operation. Failure to use as intended may result in serious injury or death to personnel and damage to equipment. 1 441-4500-AC INTRODUCTION The Air-Eagle XLT RF Repeater is designed to retransmit an RF signal from any Air-Eagle XLT Transmitter. When placed in an area where the signal is weak, this unit will pick up the weak signal and retransmit it at full power facilitating greater distances and allowing the RF signal to reach around corners, through tunnels, over hills, and through valleys. INSTALLATION 1. DISCONNECT power from all equipment before proceeding with installation. 2. Mount the repeater in a convenient location. 3. Attach rubber duck antenna or coax from external antenna to connector on side of enclosure. 4. Connect supplied power input cable to external power source.
