User Manual 1. Purpose and Scope of Document This document was incepted in order to provide to the user clear guidelines regarding the usage of the Nivis RF-P9-06-01-01 modem. The scope of this document is limited to the first revision of the Nivis Amplified Radio Modem, part number RF-P9-06-01-01. 2. Overview of the Radio Modem Hardware The Nivis Radio modem RF-P9-06-01-01 is a frequency-hopping wireless module that allows wireless communication using a standard asynchronous serial data stream.
User Manual All of the remaining pins of the modem are I/O lines of the processor. The voltage on any of the I/O lines should never exceed 3.3 V. Pins 11 and 12 are the TX and RX pins of UART 1. If connecting to the serial port of a PC, a level-shifting transceiver must be employed in order to provide the appropriate voltage levels on the RX and TX lines. A table of the radio modem pins is provided below, describing the purpose and functionality of the pins and the max voltage range on the pins.

User Manual The figure below depicts the “Serial” tab of the NivisLink GUI. 3.2 Read Calibration EEPROm Note: The following procedure assumes that the modem used has already undergone the calibration procedure. For tune-up and calibration procedure consult the “Tune-up Procedure” document. The SN, DNA, PA Max level, temperature sensor calibrtation value and other calibration data necessary for the operation of the Nivis radio modem is stored in the calibration EEPROM.
User Manual The following parameters will be displayed • Serial Number – unique identifying ID of the modem • DNA – network identification number • Power Amplifier max level – maximum value of the power amplifier gain • Firmware version 3.3 Transmission In order to set the modem in transmit mode the “SET TX MODE” button must be employed. The transmit tab will allow the user to select the TX frequency channel on which the transmission should take place.
User Manual • • • • GET RSSI tab – displays the value present in the Received Strength Indicator register of the CC1020 transceiver GET AFC - displays the value present in Automatic Frequency Correction register of the CC1020 transceiver GET TEMPERATURE tab – displays the temperature value indicated by the internal temperature sensor of the MSP430F149 processor GET VOLTAGE – displays the supply voltage of the processor as read by an internal analog line of the MSP430F149 processor 4.
User Manual The OEM of the Nivis RF Module 6.0 must only use the approved antenna, which has been certified with this module. The OEM of the Nivis RF Module 6.0 must test their final product configuration to comply with Unintentional Radiator Limits before declaring FCC compliance per Part 15 of the FCC rules. 7. Warning (Part 15.21) Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
