RTS24 User Manual
The RTS24 module can be interfaced with our host boards through on of the multi-pin
connectors. This is a standard 0.1” center header connector.
The RTS24 module is only designed and authorized to operate in our own Toro Company
Host devices. It will not be a commercially available module and the applicant will retain
control over the final installation.
In order to allow proper operation of the module, only four antenna configurations are
available and limited by use of a reverse polarity SMA connector attached to the module.
Two common antennas are shipped with the product with two optional antennas available
through Toro to make sure it complies with one of the authorized options.
The module connector pins are shown in the schematics and drawings and should be only
connected to host equipment as designated and controlled by The Toro Company. The
VCC input voltage must be <24VDC and all the digital signals comply with standard
CMOS “1” and “0” requirements..
The RTS24 radio complies with 802.15.4 IEEE standard.
The nominal frequency is 2.4Ghz operating on channel 25.
The maximum peak power is less than 0 dBm using any bandwidth.
The typical sensitivity is –108 dBm.
Typical communication range is ~300 feet
Installation Instructions
1. The module is ESD sensitive and should be handled accordingly. Make sure that a
ground strip is used at all time.
2. Before connecting the module be sure that the connection pins adhere to the specs
as set in the schematic;
a. Ground pins are properly grounded.
b. Power supply pin 1 should be connected to the power supply on exceeding
24VDC
c. The rest of the pins are digital pins carrying data and signaling with “1” as
3.3 volts and 0 as “0”. They should adhere to CMOS type levels.
3. The RF portion of the module has a 3.0V regulation but the input voltage should
be kept within 5% of 3.0 volts.
4. The hosting device must have a label that states “Contains FCC ID: OF7RTS24”
besides other required FCC labels for that device.
5. The hosting device must have a label that states “Contains IC: 3575A-RTS24”
besides other required IC labels for that device.
6. The antenna should not be modified and must not be co-located or operated in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
