MSR3 NBFM Multi-channel receiver for 868MHz SRD band The MSR3 is a 25kHz channel narrowband receiver intended for European 868MHz band Non-Specific SRD applications. The module offers a low power, reliable data link in an industry-standard pin out and footprint. Conforms to EN 300 220-3 and EN 301 489-3 High performance double superhet, PLL Synthesizer with TCXO Data rates up to 5 kbps for standard module Fully screened Feature-rich interface (RSSI, analogue and digital baseband) User configurable via RS232 interface Low power requirements Social alarm Handheld terminals Heavy vehicle/machine remote controls EPOS equipment, barcode scanners Data loggers Industrial telemetry and telecommand In-building environmental monitoring and control High-end security and fire alarms Vehicle data up/download Technical Summary ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

MSR3 serial configuration commands 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 re-writing of the e2prom will result. For this reason the user must send the 16-character string ENABLESERIALMODE (followed by a carriage return) to fully enable 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. You must power the unit to successfully program...

Received Signal Strength Indicator The MSR3 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 1 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. RF Level (dBm) Figure 4: RSSI voltage variation with respect to RF level at MSR3 Radiometrix Ltd, MSR3 Data...
