Warning:
Some customers may want Linx radio frequency (“RF”)
products to control machinery or devices remotely, including machinery
or devices that can cause death, bodily injuries, and/or property
damage if improperly or inadvertently triggered, particularly in industrial
settings or other applications implicating life-safety concerns (“Life and
Property Safety Situations”).
NO OEM LINX REMOTE CONTROL OR FUNCTION MODULE
SHOULD EVER BE USED IN LIFE AND PROPERTY SAFETY
SITUATIONS.
No OEM Linx Remote Control or Function Module
should be modified for Life and Property Safety Situations. Such
modification cannot provide sufficient safety and will void the product’s
regulatory certification and warranty.
Customers may use our (non-Function) Modules, Antenna and
Connectors as part of other systems in Life Safety Situations, but
only with necessary and industry appropriate redundancies and
in compliance with applicable safety standards, including without
limitation, ANSI and NFPA standards. It is solely the responsibility
of any Linx customer who uses one or more of these products to
incorporate appropriate redundancies and safety standards for the Life
and Property Safety Situation application.
Do not use this or any Linx product to trigger an action directly
from the data line or RSSI lines without a protocol or encoder/
decoder to validate the data.
Without validation, any signal from
another unrelated transmitter in the environment received by the module
could inadvertently trigger the action.
All RF products are susceptible to RF interference that can prevent
communication.
RF products without frequency agility or hopping
implemented are more subject to interference. This module does have
a frequency hopping protocol built in, but the developer should still be
aware of the risk of interference.
Do not use any Linx product over the limits in this data guide.
Excessive voltage or extended operation at the maximum voltage could
cause product failure. Exceeding the reflow temperature profile could
cause product failure which is not immediately evident.
Do not make any physical or electrical modifications to any Linx
product.
This will void the warranty and regulatory and UL certifications
and may cause product failure which is not immediately evident.

Introduction
The Linx HumPRO
TM
Series data transceiver modules offer a simple, efficient
and cost-effective method of adding wireless capabilities to any product. The
Master Development System provides a designer with all the tools necessary
to correctly and legally incorporate the module into an end product. The
boards serve several important functions:
•
Rapid Module Evaluation: The boards allow the performance of the
Linx HumPRO™ Series modules to be evaluated quickly in a user’s
environment. The development boards can be used to evaluate the range
performance of the modules.
•
Application Development: A prototyping board allows the development
of custom circuits directly on the board. All signal lines are available on
headers for easy access.
•
Software Development: A programming dock with a PC interface allows
development and testing of custom software applications for control of
the module.
•
Design Benchmark: The boards provide a known benchmark against
which the performance of a custom design may be judged.
The Master Development System includes 2 Carrier Boards, 2 Programming
Dock Boards, 2 Prototype Boards, 4 regular or amplified HumPRO
TM
Series
transceivers*, antennas, batteries and full documentation.
* One part is soldered to each Carrier Board
