RM-405U Technical Specifications
 
Power Supply
  • The 405U module may be powered from either a 12 VDC or 24 VDC power supply.
  • Normal supply 11-15 VDC. Alternate supply 18-28 VDC.
  • Current drain 155mA (@l2V) or 100mA (@24V).
    General
  • Environmental -10 to 55 degC. 0 - 99 %RH.
  • EMC Compliant 89/336/EEC, EN55022, EN50082-1, AS3548.
  • Housing, extruded aluminium case 130 x 185 x 60 mm DIN rail mounting, removable terminal blocks for ease of module replacement, terminals suitable for 2.5sqmm conductors.
  • LED indication for unit OK, radio TX and RX, serial TX and RX, DCD (comms OK).
    Serial Port
  • Standard data rates 75,150, 300, 600,1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,19200 and 38400 baud.
  • RS232 and RS485 standard interface connections provided, each connected to the same serial port.
  • Serial interfaces are asynchronous non-return-zero (NRZ) format.
  • The following characters are supported (selectable) - 7 data bits, even or odd parity,1 start bit,1 or 2 stop bits; 7 data bits, no parity,1 start bit, 2 stop bits; 8 data bits, even or odd or no parity, 1 start bit,1 stop bit - the same type of character is created at the output.
  • RS232 connection provides full duplex operation as a DCE device with
  • RTS/CTS hardware handshaking- standard D9 connector.
  • RS485 connection provides half duplex operation for twisted-pair multidrop networks.
  • Terminal connectors provided for RS485.
    Radio Transceiver
  • Single channel, crystal locked, direct frequency modulation, data rate configurable 1200, 2400, 4800 or 9600 bits/sec using four level DFSK.
  • Frequency 410 - 480 MHz,12.5KHz channel. Stability +/-1.OKHz
  • Transmit power 100/500mW or 10mW
  • Spurious emissions RX <-57dbm tx <-37dbm
  • Receiver sensitivity 0.4uV(-1l7dBm) @ l2dB SINAD
  • Signal detect/RSSI -120 to -100 dBm
  • Conforms to I-ETS 300 220, MPT1329, AS4268.2
  • Expected line-of-sight range (@4800 bits/sec) - l.5km(l0mW), 5km(l00mW), 10km(500mW).
  • Range may be extended by up to five intermediate repeaters (controlled mode) or one repeater (transparent mode).
  • Aerial connection is BNC coaxial and protected by an internal gas discharge surge arrester.
    Data Transmission
  • Transparent mode: Data is transmitted as a 300 byte packet with a system address.
  • Data transmission begins as soon as serial data is received. For RS232, DCD signal is always high, and CTS is high while there is space in the input buffer.
  • All modules, with correct system address, which receive the data packets, output the data without error checking.
  • Controlled mode: Data is transmitted in packets between 45 and 300 bytes (configurable), with a system address, source address, destination address, up to five intermediate repeater addresses, and a 16 bit CRC error check.
  • If the packet is received with a correct error check, only the destination module will output the data and will also return an ACK transmission.
  • If the source module does not receive the ACK, it will retry a further four times before resetting the DCD output.
  • For RS232, the CTS signal is high if there is room in the input buffer. Destination and repeater addresses may be configured using on-board miniature switches or by host using Hayes AT commands.
    DCD Output
  • DCD output is FET 30VDC 500mA. In transparent mode, the DCD output is always active.
  • In controlled mode, the DCD output is active when a communications channel has been established with the destination address. During communications failure, this output will reset.
