INTEGRATION GUIDE FOR TRANSITIONING FROM LT2510 TO RM024 INTRODUCTION The RM024 is the first new module in Laird’s rebranded RAMP (Range Amplified MultiPoint) line of modules. Laird’s RAMP modules excel at providing a wireless serial link over long ranges and with support for multipoint networks. RAMP modules utilize a Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) protocol for greater interference and multipath immunity. With two transceivers, the RAMP line can provide a wireless serial cable replacement capable of extending communications well beyond the 50 foot maximum for wired connections. RAMP modules also support multipoint – Star network topologies – and users can employ a nearly unlimited number of clients for applications such as sensors, controls, and text display boards. The RM024 is based on the same core technology as the LT2510 and is designed to be a drop in replacement. Differences between the modules may affect customer designs though; this document will identify those differences. The RM024 and the LT2510 are over the air compatible and can both be used in the same network.

Contact your sales representative for more details. Maximum Output power stated, step measurements for power could vary by +/- 1.5 dBm. Step downs on RM024 are larger than on LT2510, resulting in lower Maximum Power for each step. Sleep current is estimated. Estimated. Measurements were taken at 4.1 miles with 5 dBi antenna. RX Sensitivity is listed at -98 dBm in the LT2510 User Manual, restated here based on new measurements. Physical Dimensions are estimated, actual measurements are printed in Mechanical Drawings section of this document. PIN FUNCTION CHANGES No pins change function.

Customers are recommended to have a qualified test lab perform FCC Part 15 Subpart B unintentional radiator testing on their device to make sure that it continues to be in compliance with the emission limits for either a Class A or B digital device. In addition, customers will need to update their label information on their product with the new FCC and IC identification numbers and will need to update their user manuals and other documentation to reflect the new regulatory information. CE A new Declaration of Conformity will be issued for the RM024. Customers will need to update their Declaration of Conformity to reflect new reports that we issue.

Customers using the U.FL version of the SMT module can either purchase the new integrated antenna version and use the new on board U.FL or purchase a U.FL only version directly from Laird. The form factor of the RM024 pluggable module will be slightly larger than the LT2510, see the drawings below for details. Note on Mechanical Drawings: All dimensions are in millimetres PC Board Material is 0.79mm thick FR4 Provide clearance of at least 1.5mm around the module to be free of other components and features Module should not exceed 260 degrees C during reflow soldering Americas: +1-800-492-2320 Option 3 Europe: +44-1628-858-940 Hong Kong: +852-2268-6567 x026 www.lairdtech.com/wireless 6 Laird Technologies TRANSITIONING FROM LT2510 TO RM024 Integration Guide Figure 1: SMT LT2510 with Integrated Antenna (PRM111, PRM113) Americas: +1-800-492-2320 Option 3 Europe: +44-1628-858-940 Hong Kong: +852-2268-6567 x026 www.lairdtech.com/wireless 7 Laird Technologies TRANSITIONING FROM LT2510 TO RM024 Integration Guide Figure 2: SMT LT2510 with U.FL (PRM110, PRM112) Americas: +1-800-492-2320 Option 3 Europe: +44-1628-858-940 Hong Kong: +852-2268-6567 x026 www.lairdtech.com/wireless 8 Laird Technologies TRANSITIONING FROM LT2510 TO RM024 Integration Guide Figure 3: Pluggable LT2510 with Antenna (PRM121, PRM123) Americas: +1-800-492-2320 Option 3 Europe: +44-1628-858-940 Hong Kong: +852-2268-6567 x026 www.lairdtech.com/wireless 9 Laird Technologies TRANSITIONING FROM LT2510 TO RM024 Integration Guide Figure 4: Pluggable LT2510 with U.FL (PRM120, PRM122) Americas: +1-800-492-2320 Option 3 Europe: +44-1628-858-940 Hong Kong: +852-2268-6567 x026 www.lairdtech.com/wireless 10 Laird Technologies TRANSITIONING FROM LT2510 TO RM024 Integration Guide Figure 5: SMT RM024 (RM024-SXXX-M-01) Americas: +1-800-492-2320 Option 3 Europe: +44-1628-858-940 Hong Kong: +852-2268-6567 x026 www.lairdtech.com/wireless 11 Laird Technologies TRANSITIONING FROM LT2510 TO RM024 Integration Guide Figure 6: Pluggable RM024 (RM024-PXXX-M-01) Americas: +1-800-492-2320 Option 3 Europe: +44-1628-858-940 Hong Kong: +852-2268-6567 x026 www.lairdtech.com/wireless 12 Laird Technologies TRANSITIONING FROM LT2510 TO RM024 Integration Guide PHYSICAL APPEARANCE Figure 7: Surface Mount LT2510 Figure 8: Surface Mount RM024 Americas: +1-800-492-2320 Option 3 Europe: +44-1628-858-940 Hong Kong: +852-2268-6567 x026 www.lairdtech.com/wireless 13 Laird Technologies
