RX1L
Low current Narrow Band VHF receiver
The RX1L receiver modules have very low current
consumption (1mA) and it offers a reliable data
link in an industry-standard pin out and footprint.
This makes the RX1L ideally suited to those low
power applications where existing narrow band
modules are not suitable for prolonged battery
powered application. Two versions on the
151.300MHz and 173.225MHz frequencies are
available. RX1L is compatible with the
Radiometrix TX1 and BiM1T transmitters.

NOTES:
1. ‘+3V out/in’ can be used to power the RX1L receiver from an external regulated 3V supply.
2. While pin equivalent to the RX2M450, the RX1L lacks carrier detect, RSSI, modem or multi
channel functions.

Notes:
1. The data slicer cannot be depended upon for data waveform frequencies below 250Hz
2. When RX is on and a transmitter keys up, again a 50ms period is required to stabilise data
output mark/space. i.e. allow at least 50ms of preamble
