TR2M/TR2I
Multi-
Narrow Band FM Multi-channel UHF Transceiver
The TR2M transceiver module offers a low power,
reliable data link in an industry-standard pin
out and footprint. This makes the TR2M ideally
suited to those low power applications where
existing wideband modules have insufficient
range, or where multi-channel operation is
needed. Two versions are available, covering the
458.5-459.1MHz UK band (at 100mW) and the
European 433.05-434.79MHz band (at 10mW).

Notes:
1. TR2M receiver section inverts the sense of the baseband stream, so a logical inversion is present
between input of TX and output of RX. A version is available (TR2I) which inverts the transmit
datastream as well (resulting in no net inversions between a pair of TR2I radios).
2. Carrier detect on TR2M mutes the AF Out and RXD outputs. It can be factory disabled.
3. All the open collector outputs must be connected to Vcc/+4.4V out via a pull-up resistor.
4. The software incorporates a 1200baud dumb modem, compatible with that implemented in
TX2M, RX2M radios (I1200 tones and format)
5. With 1200baud modem mode enabled, parallel selection of channel is unavailable as the P1-P3
lines are used for modem input/output operations.
6. PGM and MOD TXD (pin 10 and 11) tolerate true ±RS232 levels. No buffering is required.

Figure 4: TR2M interfaced to host microcontroller and serial port for configuration
TR2M can be directly interfaced to a host microcontroller which can generally be powered by the
regulated +4.4V output on pin 8 of TR2M. Three I/O pins on the microcontroller port can be assigned to
select the first 8 channels on frequency table of the appropriate band for which the module is configured
by pulling the P1-P3 pins low. Channel select pins of TR2M have internal pull-up to 4V supply rail,
hence channel selection operate on inverted logic.

Digital Received Data Output (RXD) pin is an open collector output, which should be pulled-up to
required voltage swing level (e.g. +4.4V or Vcc).
TR2M has an automatic noise squelching function which is activated when there is not any RF signal at
detectable level on the channel or if the non-coherent noise like interference level is high enough to
block any weak RF signal from being received. SQF is provided as an open-collector output for
monitoring which should be pulled-up to required voltage swing level. SQF output will jump to pull-up
voltage level if received RF signal level at the RF In/Out pin of the module is about 3dB below the level
required to produce 12dB SINAD level on demodulated AF Output signal. SQF pin can be connected to
an LED to act as a Carrier Detect indicator. Pull-up resistor value should be reduced (e.g. 1kΩ)
according to the current requirement to produce satisfactory brightness on the LED used.
TR2M can be configured using any PC/Laptop/PDA having a serial port and modem/terminal program.
TXD (pin 3) of DB9M connector can be directly wired to PGM (pin C10) of the TR2M and SGN (pin 5) of
DB9M connector should be either connected to common ground or pin C9 of the TR2M.
The whole frequency/channel table is user reconfigurable to 128 channels within 5MHz band of supplied
frequency subject to regulatory band limits. Serial Channel Selection via PGM pin gives access to the
whole of regulatory band allocation for 433.05MHz-434.790MHz (69 channels) or 458.525MHz-
458.925MHz (23 channels).

Figure 5: RSSI voltage variation with respect to RF level at TR2M
If the microcontroller has a built-in Analogue to Digital Converter (ADC), the Received Signal Strength
Indicator (RSSI) output voltage level can be read by the microcontroller to estimate its distance from
transmitting TR2M unit or identify areas of weak signal reception.
RSSI can also be used to make a decision to switch to the second antenna in fixed installations within
building where the probability of null-spots are higher.
Regulatory Restrictions
There is a generic 10% duty cycle restriction on the 433MHz ISM band through out European countries
with few exceptions. Annex 1 Band E, Band E2 of European Radio Communications Committee (ERC)
Recommendation 70-03 dated February 2004 specifies the following:
433.050MHz (Ch0)
434.050MHz (Ch40)
10mW ERP, 10% duty cycle
for Channelised Narrow Band and Wide Band usage
10mW ERP, 100% duty cycle
for <25kHz Channelised Narrow Band usage
433.05MHz
434.040MHz
434.79MHz
433.775MHz (Ch69)
433.050-434.790 MHz, Non Specific Short Range Device, band is primarily intended for Telemetry,
Telecommand, Alarms, Data in general and other similar applications. Audio and Voice signals should
be avoided in the band.
