Electrical Characteristics
The data flow sequence is initiated when the first byte of data is received in the DI Buffer of the transmitting module
(WCM802 / WCM900 Module A). As long as WCM802 / WCM900 Module A is not already receiving RF data, data in the DI
Buffer is packetized, then transmitted over-the-air to WCM802 / WCM900 Module B.
Note: The WCM802 and the WCM900 modules are not compatible with each other and can not be used to
communicate with one another.
