Item # RFLS-12XT Instant-Fire 12 Transmitter, Fixed Channel

The RFLS-12XT Instant-Fire 12 Transmitter is a low power hand-held remote control transmitter designed to be used for remote control applications where high reliability is critical. When used with RFLS-49HSRC, RFLS-9HSRC, or RFLS-912HSRC receivers, a range of ½ mile can be achieved. The transmitter's commands are digitally encoded and amplitude modulated on a single carrier frequency of 418 MHz (or optionally 433.96 MHz). This frequency is controlled by a SAW (surface acoustic wave) device for exceptional stability. No alignment or tuning procedures are ever required to maintain optimum performance.

The modulated RF output occurs continuously while a transmit button is depressed. Resulting receiver output is continuous while the button command signal is being transmitted. The command signal is transmitted by amplitude modulating the carrier to indicate to the receiver which of the transmit buttons is depressed.

The RFLS-12XT Fixed Channel Transmitter is a low power hand-held remote control transmitter which can transmit commands over any of six different digital channels. Each transmitter's channel setting is fixed in software at time of manufacture and cannot be changed. A label displaying the channel setting is affixed to the top of the transmitter next to the antenna. Transmitters fixed to separate digital channel numbers can transmit simultaneously without interfering with each other. This permits up to six different receivers or groups of receivers to be controlled by separate transmitters simultaneously. The transmitter will only actuate receivers whose digital channel switches are set to select the same channel as the transmitter. Thus, multiple transmitters may be used to actuate different selected receivers even though all operate on the same frequency. Transmitters fixed to the same digital channel number should not be used simultaneously, as they will interfere with each other and result in failure-to-fire.

Transmitter keypad is luminescent for use in dark environments. The panel will continue to glow for two to three hours after being exposed to a bright light source. Embossed keys for good tactile feedback. Transmitter is fully sealed for dust and moisture resistance.

Power is supplied from an alkaline 9 volt battery, accessible beneath a slide-out door on the back side of the transmitter. In order to prevent the possibility of damage due to battery leakage, the battery should always be removed if the transmitter is to be stored for a prolonged period. Damage due to battery leakage is not covered under the warranty.

Usage of this transmitter is authorized under FCC Rules and Regulations as listed in CFR 47 Ch.1 (10-1-96 Edition), part 15, subpart C, sections 15.209 and 15.231.
