INTRODUCTION

SATEL Oy is a Finnish electronics and telecommunications company specialising in the design and manufacture of wireless data communication products. SATEL designs manufactures and sells radio modems intended for use in applications ranging from data transfer to alarm relay systems. End users of SATEL products include both public organisations and private individuals. SATEL is the leading manufacturer of radio modems that have fifield-proven solutions based on vast experience in mission-critical wireless systems. SATEL radio modems have been certified in most European countries and also in many non-European countries.

SATEL-TR4+ / SATEL-TR49 / SATEL-TR489 / SATEL-TR300 radio modules provide a cost-effective way to integrate radio connectivity in various devices thus adding value and performance to the customer systems. The uniform form factor and connector interface enable integrators to choose between several SATEL radio module variants depending on the feasible frequency band or the required radio compatibility.

SATEL-TR4+ / SATEL-TR49 / SATEL-TR489/SATEL-TR300 radio modules attached to the SATEL-B2 motherboard are essentially backwards compatible with the widely used SATELLINE-M3-TR1 radio module – the connectors are identical with the same pinout. Likewise, the SATEL-TR489 radio module on the SATEL-B2 motherboard is backward compatible with the SATELLINE-M3-TR1 869 radio module. The characteristics of the radio modules and the instructions for their use are described in the integration guides of the radio modules. Please visit www.satel.com For more detailed information, contact: technical.support@satel.com.

SATEL-B2 motherboard
SATEL-B2 motherboard is designed to house a SATEL radio module. It regulates the supply voltage for the radio module and provides the electrical connections by which the radio module and the user system communicate:

• Operating voltage +7…+27.5 VDC
• RS232 serial data interface (Port1)
• One general-purpose input (controls GPIO5 input of the radio module)
• One general purpose output (controlled by GPIO8 output of the radio module)
• Provision for secondary RS232 serial data interface (Port2) for control purposes
  Note. Port2 support will be available in the coming firmware releases.

SATEL-B2 motherboard and SATEL radio modules are available as both enclosed assemblies (assigned as SATEL-B2 “ME” assemblies) and as bboard-levelOEM variants without enclosures (assigned as SATEL-B2 “MP” assemblies). The combination of a SATEL radio module on a SATEL-B2 motherboard is easy to integrate into the host device. Due to the modular structure, integrators can always select the optimum radio solution that fits the application.

• SATEL-B2 motherboard with the female horizontal 26-pin header connector (B2A variant)
• SATEL-B2 motherboard with the male vertical 26-pin header connector (B2B variant)

Power supply
SATEL B2 motherboard assembly must be connected to a power supply with an adequate current output. The power supply must provide current limiting against short circuits.

Serial ports
SATEL-B2 motherboard assemblies provide two separate serial ports:

• Port 1 (for data and control)
• Port 2 (for control) provision
• Note: Port 2 support will be available in the coming firmware releases
• Before connecting DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) to the radio modem, please make sure that the configuration matches the physical interface (electrical characteristics, timing, direction, interpretation of signals).

NOTE!
When the ODE line (26-pin header connector, Pin 6) is connected to the round, the radio module uses fixed serial port settings 38400bps, 8N1

General purpose input/output (GPIO) lines

• SATEL-B2 assemblies provide one input line (GPIN) and one output line (GPOUT) for control signalling between the radio module and the external device:
• GPIN controls the status of the GPIO5 input of the radio module
• GPOUT is controlled by the status of the IO8 output of the radio module.
• The functions can be assigned by configuring the mode of GPIO5/GPIO8 settings of the radio module. Please see the separate documentation on the available functions of the radio module’s GPIO interface.

Antenna interface
The antenna should be always connected in its place when the power is on. Removing the antenna while the transmitter is on may damage the power amplifier inside the transmitter of the radio module. In case the antenna load is not 50 Ohms, the impedance matching should be placed in the host application.

LED indicators (board level SATEL-B2 assemblies MP1, MP2, M3)
The two LED indicators are located on the bottom side of the board as illustrated below.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE RTHE ADIO MODULE ON THE MOTHERBOARD
APPLIES TO BOARD LEVEL ASSEMBLIES (SATEL-B2 MP1/MP2/MP3) The selected radio module is assembled on the motherboard as shown below.

CAUTION!
Integrated circuits can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Precautions and proper handling procedures must be followed when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts such as radio modules and motherboards.
Use proper anti-static protection:

• Avoid excessive handling of the parts or touching the circuits
• Ground personnel and workbench by using ground straps and conductive materials
• Use antistatic clothing, workwear and materials for storage and handling
• Specific standards, such as IEC 61340-5-1 or ANSI/ESD S20.20 cover the subject in more detail.

Assembly steps (steps a and b are skipped if ME0909 is readily glued on the motherboard)

• Peel off one of the two plastic strips that protect the adhesive surfaces of the heat transfer block ME0909
• Align ME0909 (item 2 in the picture on the previous page) carefully with the mounting holes of the motherboard (item 1), the peeled surface towards the motherboard, and press the items together so that the adhesive sticks
• Peel off the remaining plastic strip of ME0909 (item 2)
• Snap the antenna cable connector (item 3) to the u.FL connector of the radio module
• Attach the radio module (item 4) carefully as shown in the picture so that all the four mounting holes and the 20-pin header connector are aligned with the motherboard; then press gently so that the adhesive keeps the radio module aligned. Avoid pinching the antenna cable between the boards.
• OPTIONAL steps for the heat transfer block ME0910 (item 5):
• Peel off the plastic strip that protects the adhesive surface
• Attach as shown in the picture by aligning with the mounting holes and then pressing gently so that the adhesive sticks ME0910 can be used for conducting the heat to an external cooling structure.
• Insert the four mounting screws (item 6) and tighten (1.5 Nm momentum)

INSTALLATION OF SATEL-B2 ASSEMBLIES
BOARD LEVEL ASSEMBLIES (SATEL-B2 MP1/MP2/MP3) are designed to be mounted inside a host device or an external enclosure. They can be mounted on the host structure by using spacers and screws (max diameter 3 mm). The dimensions of the assemblies are presented in the last chapters.

Considerations
Even though SATEL radio modules are designed to withstand interference beyond type approval requirements, some level of interference is inevitable when a small radio module is integrated closely into modern high-speed electronics. The following issues should be considered to make a working integrated solution.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can enter the module in four ways

• Via the antenna (radiation from the enclosure enters the antenna)
• Radiated disturbances to the coaxial cable
• Radiation from other electronics/cabling directly to the module
• Conducting through the DTE interface (power, control and data lines).

Because the module is shielded and the serial interface is filtered, the disturbance comes most often via the antenna port, which is easily overlooked in design. Please keep in mind that the radio module has a sensitivity of approx. -115 dBm while the signal-to-noise requirement is approx. 10 dB. This means that any signal entering the radio antenna on the receiver frequency on the level above -125 dBm (far less than any EMC regulation states) causes desensitization of the receiver.

To avoid problems a good design should apply:

• EMI shielding in an enclosure
• Careful layout design
• Shielding of all digital high-speed parts and cables
• Avoid using clock frequencies that cause harmonics on the radio frequencies of interest.
• The most important is to recognize the challenge and act upon it early in the design phase.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
The module should be subject to ESD handling precautions that typically apply to ESD-sensitive components. Proper ESD handling and packaging procedures must be applied throughout the processing, handling and operation of any application that incorporates the module.

NOTE!
When selecting a suitable location for the radio modem it must be ensured that no water can get into the radio modem under any conditions. Direct sunlight is also to be avoided. It is not recommended to install the radio modem on a strongly vibrating surface. Suitable dampening and/or isolation materials should be used in cases where the installation surface will be subjected to vibration.

Wiring
A typical wiring scheme for both the 26-pin connectors of SATEL-B2 MP1/MP3 assemblies and the D15 connector of SATEL-B2 ME1/ME2/ME3/MP2 assemblies is illustrated below.

NOTE!

• When installing the cables of the serial interface, the operating voltage of all devices must be off (POWER OFF condition)
• The power supply must provide current limiting (FUSE 1.5A maximum size) against short circuits
• GND, the metal enclosure and the outer contact of the antenna connector are galvanically connected

The following points must be taken into account when installing and configuring a radio modem:

1. All operating voltages of all the equipment concerned must always be switched OFF before connecting the serial interface cable.
2. When considering the exact placement of a radio modem and/or its antenna, the following points must be taken into account to guarantee optimal results:
   • The antenna should be installed in open space as far as possible from any possible sources of interference
   • The radio modem should not be installed on a strongly vibrating surface
   • The radio modem should be installed in such a way as to minimise exposure to direct sunlight or excessive humidity.
3. To ensure reliable operation the voltage output of the power supply must be stable enough and the current capability of the power supply must be sufficient.
4. The antenna must be installed according to instructions.
5. Serial interface settings between the radio modem and the terminal unit must correspond to each other.
6. All radio modems in the same system must be configured using the same settings (radio frequency, channel spacing and data field length).
