The configuration of SATEL Proof–TR4/-TR9 radio modem can be modified by connecting the modem to the PC and using SATEL Configuration Manager (CM) or by using external SL commands. Programming is done using RS-232 port. The RS-232 serial port settings must match between SATEL Proof–TR4/-TR9 and terminal port.
In case you need more information on the time delays related to the use of SL commands, please contact the manufacturer. SL commands are described in separate documentation. In order to get information of the latest and/or special SL commands please contact SATEL.

SATEL Proof-TR4/-TR9 User Guide, Version 1.0 5 ANTENNA CONNECTOR All models have a single TNC female type antenna connector with impedance of 50 Ohm. The antenna should always be connected when the power is on.
Note**) Reserved for future needs. Power supply SATEL Proof-TR4/-TR9 is available in one operating voltage range. The radio modem must be connected to a power supply with an adequate current output. A proper fuse should be connected in between the radio modem and the power supply: Operating voltage range +6 …...
SATEL Proof-TR4/-TR9 User Guide, Version 1.0 7 SERIAL PORTS The radio modem is referred to as DCE (Data Communication Equipment) whereas the device connected to it, typically a PLC or a PC, is referred to as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment).
SATEL Proof-TR4/-TR9 User Guide, Version 1.0 7.2 Data buffering Whenever the radio modem is in Data Transfer Mode it monitors both the radio channel and the serial interface. When the terminal device starts data transmission the radio modem switches to transmission mode.
All modem types have a single TNC female type antenna connector with impedance of 50 Ohm. SATEL Proof-TR4 (403 – 473 MHz) offers the radio settings for user to select: Channel spacing: 25 kHz or 12.5 kHz Frequency can be any 6250 Hz divisible frequency between 403…473 MHz in case the Channel Spacing is 25 kHz or 12.5 kHz...
The setting and/or using of non-approved power levels may lead to prosecution. SATEL and its distributors are not responsible for any illegal use of its radio equipment, and are not responsible in any way of any claims or penalties arising from the operation of its radio equipment in ways contradictory to local regulations and/or requirements and/or laws.
SATEL Proof-TR4/-TR9 User Guide, Version 1.0 8.2 Receiver The sensitivity of the receiver depends on the channel spacing of the radio modem (=data speed of the radio interface) and on the mode of the FEC (error correction). Receiver sensitivity Frequency range...
SATEL Proof-TR4/-TR9 User Guide, Version 1.0 8.4 Forward Error Correction (FEC) FEC improves the reliability of data transfer over the radio by adding additional correction information to the radio messages. Based on that information, the receiving radio modem will be able to correct erroneous bits provided the ratio of erroneous and correct bits is reasonable.
SATEL Proof-TR4/-TR9 User Guide, Version 1.0 8.8 Pacific Crest and TRIMTALK compatibility SATEL Proof-TR4/-TR9 radio modem provides the following radio compatibility options: SATELLINE-3AS Original SATELLINE-3AS data transfer mode (Default) PacCrest-4FSK Transparent mode/FEC ON/Scrambling ON (Option 1) PacCrest-GMSK Transparent mode/FEC ON/Scrambling ON (Option 2) ...

Remote Address of a Pacific Crest transmitter (or if the message has the broadcast address 255). SATELLINE modems must have the following key settings: FEC OFF (because the FEC here means SATEL 3AS FEC, not Pacific Crest/TRIMTALK FEC ) Error check OFF ...
Repeater OFF/ON in the Additional setup-> Repeater programming menu. Note 1. If error correction is ON (FEC ON) and TRIMTALK mode is activated by using ”SL@S=3” command, the firmware automatically switches SATEL FEC OFF temporarily, and turns it back at the mode return.
SATEL Proof-TR4/-TR9 User Guide, Version 1.0 In case only broadcast messages are used (like in RTK applications) there is usually no need for TX Delay, except if the transfer delays identical to Pacific Crest modems are preferred – in such cases an appropriate value of TX Delay is 34 ms.
