    CE label marking. - As the integration of a radio module requires wireless technological knowledge, ADEUNIS RF proposes its technical proficiency to its customers for a pre- compliance qualification of end products. In case of no-conformity, ADEUNIS RF will not be held back responsible if this stage has not been realised.
  • Page 6: Overview

    RF44 User Guide Overview RF44 The A 4 radio transceiver converts data from a serial link into a radio frame to be sent to a similar piece of equipment. The communication is half- duplex. The operating parameters of these radio transceivers can be fully updated through AT commands via the serial link.

    RF44 User Guide RSSI Reading The RSSI (Received Strength Signal Indicator) gives an indication for the received power level. It could be accessed with AT commands. -120 -100 -100 -120 Input Power (dBm) The RSSI level is only an indication. Use this level with care due to the dispersion between components.
  • Page 10: Serial Data Rate

    RF44 User Guide Transceiver or normal mode (serial data are transmitted on radio link) At power up the transceiver is in transceiver mode: it is able to send / receive data to / from the radio link according to its current parameter configuration. Serial data rate This module is only available with one data rate: 19200bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow control.

    RF44 User Guide Tips 2 : Idle line for S214 +++ (consecutive) Idle line for S214 duration duration line TRANSCEIVER MODE COMMAND MODE (return back in transceiver mode): send the serial Exiting command mode command ATO <cr> Transceiver mode In transceiver mode, the module works with a transparent protocol: When transmitting, data received from the serial link are transmitted on the radio link.
  • Page 12: Powerdown Mode

    RF44 User Guide Powerdown Mode In powerdown mode, the power consumption is reduced to reach less than 3µA. In this state, the module is not able to receive or transmit any data and is not able to enter command mode. The powerdown mode is controlled by pin 4 of the module.
