BWI EAGLE 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 o 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.

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.
