Coding in the datastream also permits the receiver to ignore noise and only output valid serial data) This is a half duplex unit, so collisions between transmitted and received packets must be dealt with by the user (if transmit data is sent to the unit then a transmit burst commences immediately and the contents of the receive data buffer is lost) Pin 1a 2a 3a 4a 5a 6a 7a 8a Name RSSI Vcc NC NC MOD RXD MOD TXD PGM 0V Function DC level between 0.5V and 2.5V. 60dB dynamic range DC supply input.

No inversion occurs between TXD and RXD. However AF out is inverted relative to TXD. Parallel channel selects are active LOW and have internal pullups to 4V There are no pullups on the open collector outputs. The software incorporates a 1200 baud modem, compatible with that implemented in other Radiometrix narrowband units ( i1200 tones and format ). Modem operation is selected by the SETMOD command. TXE pin (6a) becomes an RS232 input, and RS232 compatible data is output on the RXD pin (5a). If true +/- levels are desired then an inverter and a MAX232 should be used on data out. Radiometrix Ltd SMX2 Data Sheet page 3 5. RS232 input pins (6a and 7a) tolerate true +/- levels. No buffering is required. 6. If analogue transmit modulation is needed, then connect a series 1µF cap + 500kΩ trimmer in the ‘baseband in’ circuit. Adjust trimmer for 90% of peak deviation (+/- 2.7KHz) at mean input level. 7. If parallel channel select is not wanted, the 4 pin connector 'b' can be removed SMX2 serial interface commands 2400 baud at RS232 level. 8 bit data, no parity, 1 start bit, 1 or 2 stop bits, No flow control. Transmit (pin 3 on DB9) and Signal Ground (pin 5 on DB9) should be connected to PGM and 0V respectively.

A pause of at least 50ms must be allowed between command strings (EEPROM programming time). SINGLE mode does not store the N value in EEPROM. Therefore the unit is inoperative after a power down until either another valid SINGLE command is received, or mode is changed by a GOCHAN, SETPAR or SETSER command. SINGLE mode is intended for frequency agile applications. 2. /SETPAR command should be issued at the end of channel programming to put the module back into parallel frequency select mode Radiometrix Ltd SMX2 Data Sheet page 4 Condensed specifications Frequency Frequency stability Channel spacing Number of channels 433.05 - 434.79MHz (Any 1MHz band from 431 - 436MHz) ±2kHz 25kHz (12.5kHz by special order) 128 channels selected via serial RS232 interface 8 channels parallel selected (via 3 frequency select pins) in 433MHz band only 69 channels are used as standard Supply 4.2V-15V 30mA @ 10mW transmit [ 25mW version @ 45mA] 25mA receive (or modem ‘idle’) voltage Current Operating temperature Size Spurious radiations Interface user Power RF Recommended PCB hole size 8 pin 0.1" pitch molex 4 pin 0.1" pitch molex 3 pin 0.1" pitch molex 1.2mm (min.)
