Radiocrafts Embedded Wireless Solutions RC1240/1280/1290 ©2011 Radiocrafts AS RC1240/RC1280/RC1290 Data Sheet (rev. 1.62) Page 2 of 26 Typical Application Circuit GND CTS/RXTX/RXEN RTS/TXEN CONFIG TXD/SCL RXD/SDA GND GND VCC ON/OFF VDD GND RF GND 2.8 - 5.5 V Antenna { To host MCU or RS232/422/485 driver NC Quick Product Introduction How do I transmit data? Send your data to the RXD pin on the module. Use the UART format with settings (19200, 8, 1, N, no flow control), use 2 stop-bits if CTS is enabled. Up to 128 bytes are buffered in the module. The module will transmit the data when • the max packet length is reached • the unique end character is sent • the modem timeout limit is reached The packet length, end character and timeout limit are configurable in-circuit. How do I receive data? Any received data packet with correct address and check sum will be sent on the TXD pin using the same UART format as for transmit. What about the antenna? In most cases a simple quarter wavelength wire or a PCB track will do. Connect a piece of wire to the RF pin with length corresponding to the quarter of a wavelength. For space limited products, contact Radiocrafts and we will recommend the best antenna solution for your application. How do I change the RF channel or any other parameter? To change configurable parameters, assert the CONFIG pin, and send the command string using the same serial interface as for transmitting data. Parameters can be changed permanently and stored in non-volatile memory in the module.

If flow control is not used, and RXEN and TXEN are both asserted (active low) the module is set in SLEEP mode. RXEN and TXEN should be connected to VDD if not used if not used for SLEEP mode activation. A pull-up resistor is not necessary due to an internal series resistor.…

Vår ref. / Our ref. Tlf. direkte / Direct Line Oslo, To Whom It May Concern: This letter serves as an official request for a Modular Approval. A full modular approval is being requested for the FCC ID: Y2NRC1290 Model number: RC1290 With reference to FCC §15.212, the FCC ID: Y2NRC1290 is characterized by: i) The module has its own RF shielding that prevents coupling between the RF circuitry of the module and any wires or circuits in the device which the module is to be installed ii) The module have buffered data inputs. iii) The RF output power level control, the frequency synthesizers and modulator are all powered from an internal low-drop power regulator to ensure FCC-compliance regardless of the design of the power supplying circuitry in the device into which the module is installed. iv) The module has an antenna connection as a non-standard connection point(solering point) v) The module has been tested in a stand-alone configuration, only using an open PCB carrier as test jig. - PCB routes the power directly to the pins of the module. No ferrite or regulator were used in between. DC lines are soldered to two pins close to module and the signals are then routed to the pads on module with PCB traces. DC lines are more than 10 cm. - The PCB have no other function that connection of signals to module. As such it operates as a test jig. No filter function or ferrite on any signals. vi) The module is labeled with it own FCC ID number. This marking will be repeated on the outside of the device where the module is to be installed. 2 vii) The module is supported with a Datasheet/User Manual that gives instructions on how to install and operate the module in order to comply with the regulations. _________________________ _2011-06-27___ Ørjan Nottveit Date
