The module is equipped with seven general-purpose I/O ports that can be configured as analog-to-digital converter inputs, digital inputs or digital outputs, plus three auxiliary digital I/O ports. The communication range of the DM2200-434VM in an "open field" environment is typically 600 meters/hop. The DM2200-434VM combines RFM's low-current ASH radio technology with low-power microprocessor technology to achieve very long battery life. The DM2200-434VM employs RFM's VersaMESHTM protocol, which provides robust wireless mesh network routing, an integrated multitasking operating system, and an extensive set of application support commands.

The TR8100 operates on 433.92 MHz, with a nominal output power of 10 mW. The MSP430F148 can operate referenced to either a 32.768 kHz or 6 MHz crystal. The MSP430F148 UART provides a serial interface on connector J2. The microcontroller's eight generalpurpose I/O pins, GP0 - GP7 are available on connector J2, along with four auxiliary digital I/O pins, CFG0 - CFG3 on J1. General-purpose I/O pin GP0 is dedicated to measuring the value of the received www.RFM.com E-mail: info@rfm.com (c)2008 by RF Monolithics, Inc. signal strength indicator (RSSI) circuit and should always be set as an analog input. Auxiliary digital I/O pin CFG3 is always configured as a digital input to provide a firmware reset function (logic high for normal operation). GP1 through GP7 and CFG0 through CFG2 can be configured as required by the application. The three LEDs on the transceiver module display RF communication activity. DM2200-434VM operation is based on RFM's VersaMESHTM mesh network protocol, which supports data and command transfers through both the serial interface and the RF channel. See the DM2200 System User's Guide and the DM2200 Software User's Guide for further details. Page 2 of 6 DM2200-434VM - 4/18/08 DM2200-434VM Applications There are two ways to use the DM2200-434VM in an application. The transceiver module can be used with a companion application interface board, the IM2200-1. The IM2200-1 has provisions for powering the transceiver module from a USB cable, an external unregulated DC supply such as a 5 Vdc "wall plug" trans- former, an external regulated 3 Vdc power supply, or an external battery. The IM2200-1 also provides the choice of UART, RS232, or USB for a host computer serial interface. In addition, the IM2200-1 includes captured- screw terminal strips for connecting analog inputs, digital logic inputs, digital logic outputs and form C relay outputs. Refer to the IM2200-1 data sheet for additional details. The DM2200-434VM can also be integrated into the user's own application board. The DM2200-434VM pin descriptions are given in the Table on pages 4 and 5. The transceiver module pin-out locations are show in Figure 2, and the PCB layout for the mating connectors is shown in Figure 3. The operating range of the DM2200-434VM depends critically on the antenna being located properly. When using the standard DM2200-434VM antenna, care should be taken to keep the antenna at least 0.5 inch away from the sides of its enclosure. The enclosure must be made from a plastic with low RF attenuation, such as fiberglass, PVC or ABS. The DM2200-434VM enclosure should be mounted so the antenna is at least 4 feet off the ground, and ideally 6 or more feet off the ground. www.RFM.com E-mail: info@rfm.com (c)2008 by RF Monolithics, Inc. The DM2200-434VM has an on-board regulator input on Pin J1-2. To use the on-board regulator, connect J1-3 to J1-2 and apply a voltage to this connection of at least 3.3 Vdc, but not greater than 14 Vdc, including ripple variations. When running from the on-board regulator, up to 5 mA is available on J1-4 to operate external circuitry. Any external circuitry connected to J1-4 must not induce more that 10 mVP-P ripple on the regulated 3 Vdc at this pin. The DM2200-434VM can also be run from an off-board regulated supply or a battery. In this case, connect J1-3 to ground, leave J1-2 unconnected, and apply the regulated supply or battery input to J1-4. Note the input voltage range for J1-4 must be in the range of 2.9 to 3.7 Vdc, with no more than 10 mVP-P ripple. Only pins J1-2 and J1-3 are rated to operate from a supply voltage higher than 3.7 Vdc. Further, care must be taken so that analog or logic inputs applied to the transceiver module stay within the voltage range of 0 to VDD (voltage at J1-4). Applying a voltage outside of the 0 to VDD voltage range to an analog or logic input can damage the module. The DM2200-434VM has current limiting protection resistors on most of the I/O pins. These limit the current that a logic output can source or sink. Any DM2200434VM pin defined as an output should be used only to drive a high impedance load such as a CMOS logic input or a MOSFET transistor.
