SATELLINE-M3-TR8 SATELLINE-M3-TR9 Integration Guide, Version 1.7 6 OPERATING MODES The radio transceiver module has the following modes of operation: Mode Function Description Ready to receive from RF Search for sync Module is searching for the start of a radio transmission from the RF signal. The module has found a valid radio transmission and is receiving data. The module transmits Mode is entered when a fault has been detected and the device has been Rebooted.
SATELLINE-M3-TR8 SATELLINE-M3-TR9 Integration Guide, Version 1.7 6.3 Sleep Mode When being in sleep mode, the radio part of the module is switched OFF while the serial interface communication related parts remain powered ON. The module will be automatically woken up after the CPU senses a state change in the TD1 pin. Example: The module is in Sleep1- mode. The module is woken up by sending a character or characters into the TD1 pin after which the module responses “OK”.

SATELLINE-M3-TR8 SATELLINE-M3-TR9 Integration Guide, Version 1.7 10 CONSIDERATIONS 10.1 EMI Interferers The module is designed to be mounted inside a host device. The module is designed to withstand EMI even beyond type approval requirements. However, a small module which is integrated closely to modern high speed electronics is bound to receive some interference.
SATELLINE-M3-TR8 SATELLINE-M3-TR9 Integration Guide, Version 1.7 Consequently, the module should be subject to ESD handling precautions that typically apply to ESD sensitive components. Proper ESD handling and packaging procedures must be applied throughout the processing, handling and operation of any application that incorporates this module. 10.3 Using the device in unmanned high reliability applications The module features software and hardware watchdogs which are incorporated inside the CPU.
