SATELLINE-M3-TR8 /-TR9 / -R9 Integration Guide, Version 2.2 4.10 Antenna interface The antenna interface is a 50 Ω coaxial connector. Matching networks are not included on the module and should be placed in the host application if the antenna is not 50 Ω. The HIROSE U.FL compatible connector is located on the TOP side of the board.
SATELLINE-M3-TR8 /-TR9 / -R9 Integration Guide, Version 2.2 5. MECHANICAL CONSIDERATIONS Fixing device to host The M3-TR8 / M3-TR9 radio transceiver module can be mounted on to the host application by using spacers and screws. It is highly recommended to use conducting metal spacers and screws to create proper electrical conductivity between the module and the host application.

(see SL Command Mode). SATEL Configuration Manager software SATEL Configuration Manager is a PC software for the configuration of SATELLINE-M3-R/TR, SATEL-R/TR –module based radio models, covering most of the SATEL radio products. Minimum requirements: SATEL Configuration Manager PC-program COM port with baud rate min.
CR/LF characters are added to end the response messages (unless they are already present) in order to make parsing easier. Settings can be toggled, SL Commands ON/OFF, CR/LF ON/OFF. See Appendix B and C for SL commands. For information of the latest and/or special SL commands please contact SATEL.
The SL commands can be disabled or enabled by using SL commands or toggling the “SL Command mode” parameter via the SATEL Configuration Manager, version v1.3.15 or newer. By default the SL Command mode is set to ON. If the SL Command mode is set to OFF then the SL commands can be enabled or disabled by using the below described procedure.
STAT pin in 250 ms interval indicating an Error and reboots the device after 5 s. Transmitting/Receiving is prohibited during malfunction. When connecting to the device with SATEL Configuration Manager the Error code is shown in pop up box. If the device does not recover after multiple reboots, please contact SATEL Oy.
SATELLINE-M3-TR8 /-TR9 / -R9 Integration Guide, Version 2.2 Sleep Mode When being in sleep mode, the radio part of the module is switched OFF while the serial interface communication related parts remain powered ON. The module will be automatically woken up after the CPU senses a state change in the TD1 pin.
SATELLINE-M3-TR8 /-TR9 / -R9 Integration Guide, Version 2.2 Transmission interval study is started over always after 100 successful sleep/wake-up cycles and, if the expected receiving slot (t ) with enhanced overlap margin (t ) has been missed.

SATELLINE-M3-TR8 /-TR9 / -R9 Integration Guide, Version 2.2 CONSIDERATIONS 10.1 EMI Interferers The module is designed to be mounted inside a host device. The module is designed to withstand EMI even beyond type approval requirements. However, a small module which is integrated closely to modern high speed electronics is bound to receive some interference.
SATELLINE-M3-TR8 /-TR9 / -R9 Integration Guide, Version 2.2 10.2 Electrostatic discharge As the module is intended to be embedded in a host application, in a typical use case, the antenna port is the only port of the module directly interface with a surface or contact area subjected to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
