38-2000-DC 2.4 GHz RF Receiver
Product Information: AIR-EAGLE SR 38-2000-DC 2.4 GHz RF
Receiver
The AIR-EAGLE SR 38-2000-DC is a wireless receiver that operates
on a 2.4 GHz RF frequency. It has four SPDT output control relays,
which can be activated through button depression or input
activation. The unit is equipped with a dual-color LED that
illuminates red during boot-up and changes to green upon successful
boot-up. The LED also illuminates green when any of the four relays
are energized. The unit is approved for use in the United States
(FCC), Canada (IC), Europe (CE), Australia, and Brazil.
Signal Range
The maximum range of the AIR-EAGLE SR 38-2000-DC is estimated
based on a clear line of sight with few interferences. Actual range
may vary depending on transmitting power, orientation of
transmitter and receiver, height of transmitting and receiving
antennas, weather conditions, electronic interference, terrain, and
physical obstacles such as walls, building structures, trees, metal
objects, and landscape.
Wireless Stop Systems
The wireless stop system must work in conjunction with a
hard-wired system. It should never be considered a primary
life-saving device. At least one hard-wired switch must be
available in case the wireless signal is lost. Failure to comply
may result in serious injury or death to personnel and damage to
equipment.
Dimensions
The AIR-EAGLE SR 38-2000-DC has dimensions of 6.30 x 5.50 x 4.80
inches.
Product Usage Instructions
Installation
- Disconnect power from all equipment before proceeding with
installation. - Mount the receiver in a convenient location.
- Install relay control wiring to the terminal strip.
- Attach rubber duck antenna or coax from external antenna to
connector on the side of the enclosure. - Connect supplied power input cable to your external power
source.
Terminal Strip Wiring
The terminal strip of the AIR-EAGLE SR 38-2000-DC has 18
terminals. Negative (-) and positive (+) 9-36VDC are connected to
terminals 1 and 2, respectively. CH1 and CH2 dry contact inputs are
connected to terminals 3-6, with a common connection on terminal 3.
Four relays are connected to terminals 7-18, with each relay having
a normally open (N/O), normally closed (N/C), and common (C)
connection. Terminal 19 is not used on this model.
Relay Operation
The AIR-EAGLE SR 38-2000-DC has four relays that operate as
maintained momentary. The relays can be energized through button
depression or input activation.
Relay & Frequency Setup
The AIR-EAGLE SR 38-2000-DC is shipped from the factory with
SEL1 switches in the open position. This means that all four relays
will operate as maintained momentary, and the unit is receiving
commands on frequency one. To change these default settings, follow
the instructions provided in the user manual.

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 SR is an RF system designed for short to medium range wireless remote control of electrical apparatus in a variety of industrial applications. Systems can consist of any number of receivers and handheld or contact input transmitters working together. This receiver is equipped with 4 independent relays that can switch 5 amps @ 120VAC or 30VDC. The relays are user programmable for momentary or toggle/latching operation and can be directly interfaced with the customer’s equipment or P.L.C. Eight user selectable frequencies allow multiple systems to be used in the same area. Capable of receiving remote signals transmitted from up to 600 feet away, the Air-Eagle SR Receiver utilizes spread-spectrum technology and provides the utmost in security and reliability.
