RFM200U™ General Description
The RFM200U is used as RF modem
which holds the RF communication
between he RMR and the metering
devices. The interface with the PC is
done through USB Type B for data
exchange and Mini Type B for
parameter setting. The RFMU radio
is high power 5W UHF radio covers
the 430 to 471MHz RF band. The
RFM200U is power from 12.5V
power supply that is backed up with
Lid Accid 12V battery.
 Connectors
 Power Connector.
 Data Connector
USB Type B used as data link between
the RFM200U™ and the PC.
 Antenna Tx/Rx and Tx
BNC connector. It is used as Tx/Rx (2
ways) antenna connection or just Tx
antenna connection if the second Rx
connecter is in used i.e. by special
jumper in the board.
 Antenna Rx
BNC connector. It is used for Rx
antenna connection in case the other
connecter is just for Tx. Sets by
special jumper in the board.
 Programmer Connector
Mini USB type B connector. This
connector is used to connect a special
PC application (“GUP”) to set or read
parameters as Tx and Rx frequencies.
 Data LED
Whenever there is data on the USB
cable then the LED is flickering.
 PTT LED
Whenever the radio is on transmission
this LED is on.
 CM LED
Whenever the RFM200U™ senses any
RF signal above -107dBm then this
LED is on.
 Data LED
Whenever the RFM200U™ is
powered then the LED is on.
Preparing for Operation
The BSRU100N is not a standalone unit,
this device always combined in to
products like the RMR perform the
following steps:
a. Connecting Assembly Cables
1. Connect one end of the coax cable to
Rx/Tx BNC. In case the Tx and the Rx
signals are separated then connect the
second (Rx) cable to the Rx Coax.
2. Connect the DC plug to the Power
Plug Socket.
4. Connect one end of the data cable to
USB rear panel connector.
b. Setting Communication
