MAXON SD-125 RF LINK MODULE FEATURES INTRODUCTION Busy Channel Lockout The Maxon SD 125 Series of RF Link Modules From • Maxon utilizes the latest technology in its design and 16 Channels manufacturing. Both he UHF and VHF models (Phase •...
MAXON SD-125 RF LINK MODULE CHANNEL SELECTOR One of 16 channels may be selected using the Dip Switch INTRODUCTION (SW401). SW401 encodes the channel number, selected into 4-bit binary code. The binary code plus one equals the The VHF and UHF radios are comprised of two PCB's (an channel number.
MAXON SD-125 RF LINK MODULE LEVEL SHIFTER & CHARGE PUMP ANTENNA SWITCH The charge pump is used for changing output signals Fr, When transmitting, the diodes D5 and D6 are forward biased Fv at PLL IC from 0-5v to 0-12v necessary for controlling enabling the RF signal passage to the antenna.

MAXON SD-125 RF LINK MODULE FIRST MIXER D9, T2 and T3 are double balanced mixers which provide the 45.1 MHz intermediate frequency output. The filtered frequency from the front end module is coupled to T2 . The 45.1 MHz IF output is matched to the input of the 2-pole monolithic filter by L14, L31, C69 and C97.
MAXON SD-125 RF LINK MODULE GENERAL When removing or fitting, use the Exploded View and Parts List, located on page 55 in conjunction with the following procedures: WARNING: Disconnect the SD-125 from all • external equipment at the D-Sub connector prior to disassembly.
