X7000

The R.F. Solutions 458MHz FM Transceiver Module is a compact frequency synthesised module capable of transmitting data up to 20 kilometres in direct line of sight, up to 1-3km within buildings. The X7000 units are suitable for general purpose telemetry applications where small size and high data rates are needed. The module can transmit digital or analogue (GMSK, or FSK) data at up to 9600baud rate.

The output power and frequency channel of X7000 is user selectable, to ensure that an open channel may be employed. 

Supplied as a completed module, no modification or pre tuning is necessary. Connections to the module are via a 26 way connector on the module base. The transmitter has three data inputs, Digital, Analogue, and direct modulation. Two data outputs are provided one digital and one analogue. The transmitter and receiver sections may be switched independently via external signal lines. The X7000 transmitter section has three data inputs: one for Analogue Data (AIN), one for Digital Data (DIN) and one for Direct Modulation (MIN). Two data outputs are provided from the. receiver section, these are: Digital Data Out (DOUT) and Analogue Data Out (AOUT).

The X7000 transmitter and receiver can be switched independently by signals (TXON) and (RXON). Additional signals are provided such as relative signal strength indication (RSSI), RF Carrier Direct (CD), Synthesiser Locked (RDY) and Out of Lock (OOL).

The RF frequency of X7000 can be set in three ways. The 6 DIL switches located at the front of the module set the default RF frequency. This can be incremented or decremented by pulsing the input (FINC) in conjunction with the clock input (FCLK). In addition a Serial Data Stream can be used to set the RF frequency directly and interrogate the status of the radio. Other output signals provided are Relative Signal strength, Carrier Detect, Synthesiser Locked, Out of Lock. The RF output power can be set between 5mW and 500mW by the (RFADJ) signal.

This X7000 transceiver requires no licence to operate and is type approved to MPT1329 and ETSI300-220.
