LMT2/LMR2
UHF Narrow Band FM Low Cost multi channel radio modules
The LMT2 transmitter and LMR2 receiver modules offer a multi channel, low power, and reliable data link. This makes the LMT2/LMR2 pair ideally suited to those low power applications where existing wideband modules have insufficient range, or where low cost multi-channel operation is needed without compromising on RF specification or regulatory requirement.

Rin=47k Not present in LMT2 Parallel Channel select LSB Serial frequency programming / configuration1 Parallel Channel select Parallel Channel select Parallel Channel select MSB Not present in LMT2
Notes: 1. Serial programming is by an inverted, CMOS logic level, 2400 baud RS232 datastream applied to the P0 pin. 2. Channel select inputs have pullups (50k) to 3v internal rail. Do not exceed 3V logic levels on this port. 3. Channel select inputs are active low 4. TXE has a 100k pullup to Vcc 5. All pins are on an 0.1" grid 6. The pins 5a/b are not present, but are included in footprint for compatibility with other units in this family 7. In the 'off' state a PIN switch open circuits the RF output pin. There are no 'off' state spuri. 8. 10mW unit will operate (with marginally reduced specifications and lower (6-8mW) output power) from a 3.0V rail. This must be well regulated and without noise or ripple, as in this state the unit's internal regulator no longer operates, and provides no supply rejection. 9. 100mW versions should not be run continuously from supply voltages > 9v

NOTES: 1. Serial programming is by an inverted, cmos logic level, 2400 baud RS232 datastream applied to the P0 pin. 2. Channel select inputs have pullups (50k) to 3v internal rail. Do not exceed 3v logic levels on this port. 3. Channel select inputs are active low 4. All pins are on an 0.1" grid 5. Data recovery circuit used for RXD is not a simple 'average and compare' type. It is a peak sampling quasi-DC coupled design, allowing a greater than usual flexibility in data format. 6. Unit will operate (with marginally reduced specifications) from a 3.0v rail. This must be well regulated and without noise or ripple, as in this state the unit's internal regulator no longer operates, and provides no supply rejection.

Serial interface commands
2400 baud RS232. 8 bit data, no parity, 1 start bit, 1 or 2 stop bits. Serial data is sent to the unit on one of the parallel channel select pins (P0). It is very important that the unit does not 'decode' switch bounce in ordinary operation as a command string, or spurious rewriting of the e2prom will result. For this reason the user must send the 16 character string ENABLESERIALMODE (followed by a carriage return) to activate the serial command mode before sending any of the command strings listed below. Command mode is disabled on power down, or on reception of a # character. To successfully program the unit, it must be enabled ('RXE high (rx) or TXE low (tx)). GOCHAN aa LOAD aa nnnnn SETPAR SETSER RVALUE rrrr SINGLE nnnnn / # Serially select channel aa, where aa is ch0 to ch31 Set value of N register for channel aa, where aa is Channels 0 to 31 Channel selected by 4 bit parallel inputs (ch0 to ch15 only) Channel selected by most recent GOCHAN operation Set value for R register Set value of N for single channel operation. N value NOT stored in EEPROM Process entry Clear all buffers Disable command mode
aa = a two digit channel number from 00 to 31 nnnnn = synthesizer N register value (up to 65535) rrrr = synthesizer R register value (up to 16383)

Note: 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.

LMT2, LMR2 channels are spaced at 50kHz interval into two frequency groups. 50kHz spacing between sequential channels minimises adjacent channel interference. e.g. 433MHz band Serial or Parallel channel select 0 (P3:P0 = HHHH)* 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 (P3:P0=LLLL)* Frequency (MHz) Serial channel select 16 17 433.950 18 434.000 19 434.050 20 434.100 21 434.150 22 434.200 23 434.250 24 434.300 25 434.350 26 434.400 27 434.450 28 434.500 29 434.550 30 434.600 31 434.650 434.625 434.575 434.525 434.475 434.425 434.375 434.325 434.275 434.225 434.175 434.125 434.075 434.025 433.975 Frequency (MHz) 433.875 433.925

RX Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) The LMR2 has wide range RSSI that measures the strength of an incoming signal over a range of 60dB or more. This allows assessment of link quality and available margin and is useful when performing range tests. The output on pin 5b of the module has a standing DC bias of up to 0.5V with no signal, rising to 2.5V at maximum indication (RF input levels of -40dBm and above). Vmin-max is typically 2V and is largely independent of standing bias variations. Output impedance is 40k. Pin 5b can drive a 100A meter directly, for simple monitoring.

Antenna requirements
Three types of integral antenna are recommended and approved for use with the module: A) Whip This is a wire, rod ,PCB track or combination connected directly to RF pin of the module. Optimum total length is 16.4cm (1/4 wave @ 433MHz). Keep the open circuit (hot) end well away from metal components to prevent serious de-tuning. Whips are ground plane sensitive and will benefit from internal 1/4 wave earthed radial(s) if the product is small and plastic cased Wire coil, connected directly to RF pin, open circuit at other end. This antenna is very efficient given it's small size (20mm x 4mm dia.). The helical is a high Q antenna, trim the wire length or expand the coil for optimum results. The helical de-tunes badly with proximity to other conductive objects. A loop of PCB track tuned by a fixed or variable capacitor to ground at the 'hot' end and fed from RF pin at a point 20% from the ground end. Loops have high immunity to proximity de-tuning.

The antenna choice and position directly controls the system range. Keep it clear of other metal in the system, particularly the 'hot' end. The best position by far, is sticking out the top of the product. This is often not desirable for practical/ergonomic reasons thus a compromise may need to be reached. If an internal antenna must be used, try to keep it away from other metal components, particularly large ones like transformers, batteries and PCB tracks/earth plane. The space around the antenna is as important as the antenna itself.
