Radio 148221 User Guide RADIO 148221 TRANSCEIVER The compact Radio 148221 900MHz transceiver replaces miles of cable in harsh industrial environments. Using fieldproven FHSS technology, which needs no additional FCC licensing in the Americas, OEMs can easily make existing systems wireless with little or no RF expertise. OVERVIEW The Radio 148221 is a cost effective, high performance, frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) transceiver designed for integration into OEM systems operating under FCC part 15.

Radio 148221 User Guide HOST LAYOUT TAPCO suggested Host layout using Samtec SMM-116-02-S-S *Host layout may use any 2mm pitch connector suitable for mating with Samtec TMM-116-01-S-S-SM. Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum A FHSS radio does just what its name implies – that is, it ‘hops’ from frequency to frequency over a wide band. The specific order in which frequencies are occupied is fixed but in a pseudo random order.

Radio 148221 User Guide Serial Data Received on any radio will be directed to the remote radio device that is getting addressed by the host application. Local Serial Data received for device configuration will not be transmitted on the RF network. Transmit Mode All packets sent over the air are either Addressed or Broadcast packets. Broadcast and Addressed delivery can be controlled dynamically with the API Control byte. Contact the factory for details.

Radio 148221 User Guide A flashing green LED indicates the TimeKeeper device. The Green LED specifically indicates that data has been transmitted OTA. A red flashing LED indicates that a Listener Device is in sync with the TimeKeeper. The Red LED specifically indicates that RF data has been received OTA.

Radio 148221, Radio 148221_149095 and Radio 148221_MAX must be purchased with the antenna that is intended to be used in the host application. Antennas with connectors that do not meet the requirement of a non-standard antenna connector will have an adapter permanently connected with industrial epoxy, “Loctite” or solder to make the connection permanent prior to shipping.
