There is no pullup on the open collector RXD output. P0-P3 are inverted parallel frequency select inputs. They have 10K pullups to 4.4v P0 requires a logic level inverted RS232 data stream when used for programming A version of the LMR2 firmware is used, so most variants of the LM_series will also be possible for the MSR3 5. Two pinout versions are offered: With conventional pins, out of the bottom of the unit With right-angle pins, to allow 'SIL' vertical mounting The actual pinout and footprint follows the NRX1/2 type radio, with the addition of P0-P3 Radiometrix Ltd, MSR3 Data Sheet page 3 MSR3 serial configuration commands Serial data is sent to the unit on one of the parallel channel select pins (P0). It is very important that the unit does not 'decode' switch bounce in ordinary operation as a command string, or spurious re-writing of the e2prom will result. For this reason the user must send the 16-character string ENABLESERIALMODE (followed by a carriage return) to fully enable the serial command mode before sending any of the command strings listed below. Command mode is disabled on power down, or on reception of a # character. You must power the unit to successfully program it. 2400 baud RS232. 8 bit data, no parity, 1 start bit, 1 or 2 stop bits, No flow control GOCHAN aa Serial select of channel aa (0 to 31) LOAD aa nnnnn Set value of N for channel aa (channels 0 to 31) SETPAR Channel selected by 4 bit parallel input (0 to 15) SETSER Channel selected by most recent 'gochan' operation RVALUE rrrr Enter value for R register SINGLE nnnnn Set value of N for single channel operation. N value NOT stored in eeprom <cr> Process entry / Clear all buffers # Disable command mode aa = a two digit channel number from 00 to 31 nnnnn = synthesizer N register value, (up to 65535) rrrr = synthesizer R register value, (up to 16383) R= N= f Xtal f channelspacing f RF − IF f Channelspacing = 13MHz , So R=520 25kHz = 868 MHz − 45 MHz = 32920 25kHz Notes: 1. When If an N value greater than 65536 is needed then an offset of +65536 can be selected by setting bit 15 of the R value high 2. 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. 3. /SETPAR command should be issued at the end of channel programming to put the module back into parallel frequency select mode 4. User can modify the frequency table of 32channels to any desired frequency by changing N, R values of synthesizer within ±1.5MHz of factory set Channel 0 frequency subject to the Radio Regulatory Band Allocation in the country of intended use.

This allows assessment of link quality and available margin and is useful when performing range tests. The output on pin 1 of the module has a standing DC bias of up to 0.5V with no signal, rising to 2.5V at maximum indication (RF input levels of -40dBm and above). ∆Vmin-max is typically 2V and is largely independent of standing bias variations. 2.5 2.3 2.1 RSSI output (V) 1.9 1.7 1.5 1.3 1.1 0.9 0.7 0.5 -130 -120 -110 -100 -90 -80 -70 -60 -50 -40 RF Level (dBm) Figure 4: RSSI voltage variation with respect to RF level at MSR3 Radiometrix Ltd, MSR3 Data Sheet page 6 Radiometrix Ltd, MSR3 Data Sheet 10 100 500 868.0 [mW] 600kHz 868.60 100kHz 868.70 10mW 500kHz 25mW <1% 25kHz 869.25 250kHz 500mW 869.65 869.70 50kHz 25mW <10% or LBT <10% 869.30 869.40 50kHz 50kHz 100kHz 869.20 No Spacing 25kHz 25kHz or Wide Band 300kHz 5mW 870.0 up to 100% Non-specific SRD Alarm Non-specific SRD 10mW 10mW 10mW <0.1% <0.1% or LBT <1% <1% or LBT Duty Cycle 25mW 25kHz No Spacing 25kHz or WB No Spacing Channel Spacing Social Alarm Alarm Alarm Applications Non-specific SRD RF POWER [ERP] Non-specific SRD CEPT/ERC Rec 70-03, 868 MHz Band Plan [MHz] Appendix page 7 Radiometrix Ltd Hartcran House 231 Kenton Lane Harrow, Middlesex HA3 8RP ENGLAND Tel: +44 (0) 20 8909 9595 Fax: +44 (0) 20 8909 2233 [email protected] www.radiometrix.com Copyright notice This product data sheet is the original work and copyrighted property of Radiometrix Ltd.
