2) “CCA 466.125:ERROR”, indicates the test is failed. But it is not indicated that all the channels to be tested are applicable, but it is only the failure for the test operation without connecting the antenna, or too close to the emission source, etc. that may lead to the test failure.
3.4.2 RSSI
Function: Check the received signal strength value.
Example: RSSI
show:
1) RSSI indicates it doesn’t receive any data in the protocol, so it can’t show the received signal strength value.
2) RSSI -52.478 -48.063,-52.478(dBm)

Installation of radio

Figure 1 shows the installation dimension of the data transceiver module PCB, which firmly fitted the radio modem onto the mounting surface of the user system。

 Main Power Supply

TRM501 can operate with any 7.5V power supply, which comes from data interface connector with good filtered.
The power must supply 2A current at least and featured with current-limiting, even if you make a radio modem operating on low power mode (2W).

 Warning

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the  user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

  • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
  • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
  • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
  • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
