SATELLINE-M3-R3 Integration Guide, Version 1.6 1.3 DTE connector The DTE connector is a 20-pin pass-through connector. This connector allows the pin to enter the connector from the bottom side and protrude thru the module PCB to the top side, allowing flexible mounting heights with various pin lengths. The device is produced as either a TOP entry variant or a BOTTOM entry variant. The variant desired shall be specified when ordering the device. Entry from bottom of device, see picture below.

View from top side of unit 1.4 Pin order of the DTE connector Direction IN is data from DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) to the radio receiver module. Direction OUT is data from the radio module to the DTE. Pin No.

SATELLINE-M3-R3 Integration Guide, Version 1.6 2 MECHANICAL CONSIDERATIONS 2.1 Fixing device to host The radio receiver module can be mounted on to the host by using spacers and screws. Max. screw diameter is 3mm. 2.2 Sheet-metal standoff In space constrained applications, where there is no room for using screws for fixing, the device can be soldered on to the host board by using metal clips which are part of the bottom shielding of the device.

SATELLINE-M3-R3 Integration Guide, Version 1.6 3 CHANGING PARAMETERS USING SL-COMMANDS The controlling terminal device can change the configuration settings of the module. This is accomplished with the help of SL-commands. SL-commands can be used to change e.g. the frequency or addresses. It is also possible to ask the radio receiver module to show current settings which are in use. 3.
SATELLINE-M3-R3 Integration Guide, Version 1.6 PS-mode Receiver ON/OFF PS-mode is meant to be used in systems where the message length and interval have been planned to be almost constant. This is how the equipment can be set to powersave mode for specific period in order to save power consumption. 3.3 PS -mode When started, the module analyzes 7 messages and calculates the average of message interval. According to shortest cycle time, the sleep mode is activated.
SATELLINE-M3-R3 Integration Guide, Version 1.6 3.6 Turn ON using command When being in sleep mode, the receiver module will be automatically wake up after the CPU senses a state change in the TD1 pin. The first data byte is lost because the CPU UART is shut off, and is not able to read data.

SATELLINE-M3-R3 Integration Guide, Version 1.6 3.12 Time parameters for start-up and shutdown sequences Parameter Min time Recom. Time (* Explanation Tvic 0 >50µs When voltage is applied to VCC_IN the filter Input capacitor charge time capacitors inside the module are charged, creating a small current surge. If the feeding power supply is not very strong it is recommended to wait this time before rising ENA_MODEM to minimize current surge.
SATELLINE-M3-R3 Integration Guide, Version 1.6 3.13 Stat pin The STAT pin indicates the status of the device. It can be used to drive a LED using a series resistor. STAT pin drive capability is 10mA (loads the VCC_IO if provided externally). The STAT pin has the following behavior. Blink cycle “1” - statically “0” for the endurance of the received frame.

SATELLINE-M3-R3 Integration Guide, Version 1.6 6 CONSIDERATIONS 6.1 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-R3 Integration Guide, Version 1.6 6.2 Electrostatic discharge As the module is intended to be embedded in a host application, in a typical use case, the antenna port is the only port of the module directly interface with a surface or contact area subjected to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Thus, the antenna port is the only interface with high level ESD protection.
