Getting started with the XLR PRO RF Module

Set up a Development kit for a range test

CAUTION! Make sure the board is not powered by either the USB or a power supply
when you insert the XLR PRO module.
1. If no XLR PRO modules are present on the board, insert the XLR PRO modules into the
development boards. Start inserting at a 30 degree angle and then level it out to match
hexagonal spacers attached on board. Use a 5/32 inch hexagonal driver to add a socket cap
screw. The socket cap screws should lock the module in place.
2. Connect both development boards to power supplies and plug the power supplies into an
outlet. Ensure that the large switch labeled SW3 is flipped to INT. Ensure that you flip the
SHUTDOWN switch (SW7) to high.
3. Connect the development boards to the USB port on a computer using the mini-USB cables.
Separate the development boards by at least 2 m (6 ft).
4. Use the MMCX to SMA cable provided to connect the XLR PRO to the SMA connector (P7) on the
development boards .
5. Connect the A09-HASM-675 antenna to the RPSMA connector labeled P5.
The following table shows the Development Board for the XLR PRO RF Module Development Kit
