FMR-05D 27 MHz RADIO DATA RECEIVER The FMR-05D radio data receiver is used for long distance digital data communications. The small size and low power consumption makes the FMR-05D most suitable for portable applications. The fully screened metal housing makes it less susceptible to interference. Together with its low cost it allows for this data receiver to be used in many diverse applications. Supply +5volts DC FMR-05D Signal Strength Data Out 27.145 MHz Data Receiver Supply : 4.5 - 5.5 V DC Current : 3.5 mA Frequency Response: 20-1500Hz ELSEMA Antenna Ground Scale 1 : 1 Applications include • Security Systems • Radio data communications • Telecommand Systems • Commercial/industrial telemetry • Alarms The FMR-05D receiver and the FMT-2705 can be combined to form a transceiver. This transceiver has a reliable operating range of up to 2100 metres in open field conditions and at speeds of 2400 bps. The +5 Volts connection is the supply connection. The Ground connection is used for the supply and shield connection if a coaxial cable is used with the antenna. Ground connection for shield connection is next to the antenna pin. The Antenna connection is used for the antenna connection The Data connection output is for the digital data received at 0 to 5 Volts. RSSI Output (Vdc) The Signal Strength connection is a Relative Signal Strength Indicator.

When sensing the data pin, care should be taken so that the noise signal is not decoded as data. Use the Signal Strength connection to detect a valid data. 41 FMR-05D DATA FORMAT It is important to input the correct data format otherwise the receiver will have a lower sensitivity which will result in a reduced transmission range. The FMR-05D receiver data slicer is set for 50/50-duty cycle, therefore the “data output” should have a 50/50-duty cycle. The 50/50-duty cycle data can be pulse-width modulated to transmit resets, 0’s or 1’s. See diagram below : Logic 1 Logic 0 Bit 1 Bit 2 Average DC Signal Reset / Start Pulse A 50/50-duty cycle will have an average DC signal resulting in a constant reference for the data slicer. Users should use pulse-width modulation to transmit data with logic 1’s or 0’s. If a different duty cycle is used, for example 66/33 (Manchester format) the data slicer in the receiver will try to adjust itself to the average DC signal. Since this average DC signal is changing with different data bits this will result in a constantly changing reference for the data slicer, resulting in lower sensitivity. See diagram below : Logic 1 Changing DC Signal Logic 0 Only 50/50 duty cycle data is suitable for the FMT-2705 transmitter and FMR-05D receiver. 42
