(10k pull down) Serial programming / control input (true RS232) Ground Ground Parallel channel select LSB Parallel channel select Parallel channel select MSB Pin description of SMX1 with Modem mode selected The 'modem' mentioned is a 1200 baud RS232 semi-intelligent unit (Transmit keyed when valid serial data is present, so no separate TX control needed. Coding in the datastream also permits the receiver to ignore noise and only output valid serial data) This is a half duplex unit, so collisions between transmitted and received packets must be dealt with by the user (if transmit data is sent to the unit then a transmit burst commences immediately and the contents of the receive data buffer is lost) Pin 1a 2a 3a 4a 5a 6a 7a 8a 1b 2b 3b 4b NOTES: 1. 2. 3. 4. No inversion occurs between TXD and RXD. However AF out is inverted relative to TXD. Parallel channel selects are active LOW and have internal pullups to 4V There are no pullups on the open collector outputs. The software incorporates a 1200 baud modem, compatible with that implemented in other Radiometrix narrowband units ( i1200 tones and format ). Modem operation is selected by the SETMOD command. TXE pin (6a) becomes an RS232 input, and RS232 compatible data is output on the RXD pin (5a). If true +/- levels are desired then an inverter and a MAX232 should be used on data out.

RS232 input pins (6a and 7a) tolerate true +/- levels. No buffering is required. 6. If analogue transmit modulation is needed, then connect a series 1µF cap + 500kΩ trimmer in the ‘baseband in’ circuit. Adjust trimmer for 90% of peak deviation (+/- 2.7KHz) at mean input level. 7. If parallel channel select is not wanted, the 4 pin connector 'b' can be removed 8. For UK version the following channel assignment is supplied: Channel 0 1 2 3 4 -7 8 - 127 9.

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. 2. /SETPAR command should be issued at the end of channel programming to put the module back into parallel frequency select mode Radiometrix Ltd SMX1 Data Sheet page 5 Condensed specifications Frequency Frequency stability Channel spacing Number of channels Any 2MHz band from 130-180MHz 173.200 - 173.325 MHz UK std. 150.825 – 152.450MHz Australian std ±2kHz 25kHz (12.5kHz by special order) 128 channels selected via serial RS232 interface 8 channels selected via 3 frequency select pins In UK band only 173.225, 173.250, 173.275, 173.300, 173.325 MHz are used as standard; 151MHz band (Australian) unit has 66 channels 4.2V-16V 40mA (10mW); 65mA (50mW) transmit 20mA receive (or modem ‘idle’) -10 to +60 C (Storage -30 to +70 C) 53 x 32 x 12 mm Compliant with ETSI EN 300 220-3 and EN 300 686 8 pin 0.1" pitch molex 4 pin 0.1" pitch molex 3 pin 0.1" pitch molex 1.2mm (min.)
