Description

The data module allows you to send your digital data up to 2000 metres, when used with the Elsema FMR-05D receiver. Digital data such as pulse width modulation signals and signals from standard encoder-decoder circuits of the given bandwidth, can be transmitted by direct FM modulation.

Applications include telecommand, radio data communications and commercial/industrial telemetry.

Compatibility

All Elsema type FMR-… series:
FMR-05
FMR-05D

Block Diagram

+ 5V DC Positive Supply
E Enable pin. When +5V applied to this pin the transmitter is enabled. 0V disables transmitter
M Data input (FM-modulation input). Data should swing close to ground & +5V. A data rate of 2400 baud can be transmitted. For a baud rate of 4800 a 2.2k Ohms resistor should be used in series with terminal M.
- Negative to supply, ground & RF-ground

Data Format

It is important to input the correct data format otherwise the receiver will have a lower sensitivity which will result in a reduced transmission range.

The FMT-2705 data should be set for 50/50 duty cycle, therefore the "data in" should have a 50/50 duty cycle. The 50/50 duty cycle data can be pulse-width modulated to transmit resets, 0's or 1's. See diagram below:

A 50/50-duty cycle will have an average DC signal resulting in a constant reference for the data slicer. Users should use pulse-width modulation to transmit data with logic 1's or 0's.

If a different duty cycle is used, for example 66/33 ( Manchester format) the data slicer in the receiver will try to adjust itself to the average DC signal. Since this average DC signal is changing with different data bits this will result in a constantly changing reference for the data slicer, resulting in lower sensitivity. See diagram below :

Only 50/50 duty cycle data is suitable for the FMT-2705 transmitter and FMR-05D receiver.
