SATEL-TR489 Integration Guide, Version 0.9 ELECTRICAL INTERCONNECTION DTE connector The DTE connector is a 20-pin pass-through connector. Connector is female two row 1.27 mm pitch. This connector allows the pin to enter the connector from the bottom side and protrude thru the module PCB to the top side, allowing flexible mounting heights with various pin lengths.
SATEL-TR489 Integration Guide, Version 0.9 Pin order of the DTE connector Direction IN is data from DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) to the radio transceiver module. Direction OUT is data from the radio module to the DTE. The equivalent I/O schematic figures are shown in the next chapter.

SATEL-TR489 Integration Guide, Version 0.9 VCC_IO pin VCC_IO pin determines the voltage level of UART signals and the voltage level of GPIO output signals. VCC_IO level also determines GPIO LOW/HIGH levels on each GPIO and UART input pins. Service pin The SERVICE pin is used to set the UART1 into a known state.
SATEL-TR489 Integration Guide, Version 0.9 VCC pins VCC pins are to feed operating voltage to the module. Limit for this voltage is mentioned in chapter 2.2 DC electrical specifications. User must take into consideration surge current and current consumption issues before using these pins. Also the user must be aware for any voltage drop on the feeding path.
SATEL-TR489 Integration Guide, Version 0.9 MECHANICAL CONSIDERATIONS Fixing device to host The 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.
TR489 totally contains three different frequency Bands which are user selectable. Only one frequency band can be active at the time, which means that all user configurations are targeting at the selected band. Selection of active frequency band can be done with Satel configuration manager or using SL commands.
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.
SATEL-TR489 Integration Guide, Version 0.9 Power Save Mode The Power save mode performs an automatic, self-adjusting receiver wake-up/sleep cycle. It is designed for applications which base on one-way communication with relatively constant TX interval and, in which the data packet separation is > 200 ms.

SATEL-TR489 Integration Guide, Version 0.9 CHANGING PARAMETERS USING SL COMMANDS The controlling terminal device can change the configuration settings of the module. This is accomplished with the help of SL commands. SL commands can be used to change e.g. the frequency or addresses.
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 v1.12.3 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.

UHF band of interest. Number one is to recognize this challenge and act upon it. SATEL R&D can help in this by participating in design review of the host device, aiming to catch problems early in the design phase.
SATEL-TR489 Integration Guide, Version 0.9 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).
SATEL-TR489 Integration Guide, Version 0.9 Proposals for more reliable radio link In case where the environment is challenging the following methods can be used for improving the transmission reliability: • Forward Error Correction, FEC, is recommend to use in challenging environment like urban areas.
The power level limit is defined separately for each sub-band. The maximum power limit for each sub-band is pre-programmed into the SATEL-TR489. The user can choose from 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 mW ERP* output power for frequency variant 856…876 MHz. No matter what power level the user has chosen the maximum allowed power level of the chosen sub-band cannot be exceeded.
