Description: Eagle and Remote Detector
Eagle Case
The Eagle has a plastic case with a full-sized handle. The high-visibility case
is shielded to reduce radio frequency and electromagnetic interference (RFI/
EMI). The system is light-weight and balanced, which makes the Eagle easy
to carry and use for extended periods. A foam rubber gasket between the top
and bottom case components is water- and dust-resistant. You can set the case
into 2.5 in. of water without damage.
Control Panel
The control panel is at the top of the Eagle. The touch-pad buttons reduce the
risk of accidental activation. The dot matrix display simultaneously shows the
gas reading for all installed sensors. The display also shows information for
each of the Eagle’s program modes.
Buttons
The control panel includes the following six buttons.
