TXL2/RXL2
UHF Multi Channel Transparent Data Link TX/RX
The TXL2 and RXL2 modules are 9600baud
simplex multi channel OEM radio modems
in a Radiometrix SIL standard footprint,
operating on European 433MHz ISM band.
The TXL2/RXL2 pair act as a transparent
serial cable to attached host. Unlike raw
FM radio modules (e.g. TX2A/RX2A),
TXL2/RXL2 will take care of preamble,
synchronisation, bit balancing and error
checking along with automatic noise
squelching.

The TXL2/RXL2 pair provides a one-way radio link. Provided no two devices attempt to transmit
simultaneously no further restrictions on data transmission need be made, as all transmit timing, valid
data identification and datastream buffering is conducted by the units. Synchronisation and framing
words in the packet prevent the receiver outputting garbage in the absence of wanted RF signal or
presence of interference. For multiple radio systems a TXL2/RXL2 can be set to 1 of 8 unique addresses.
As well as having unique addresses, the TXL2/RXL2 allow operation on one of 5 pre-set frequencies in
the 433MHz band. These frequencies are non-overlapping and simultaneous operation of TXL2/RXL2
pairs in the same area on different channels will be possible. Units are supplied on 433.925MHz (Ch0)
as default.

TEST has 47K pullup to Vcc. TXD has none. EN has a 47K pulldown
Vcc must be a 5v regulated supply (4.75 - 5.25v)
Pinout is similar to TX1H, with the addition of pin 8 (located 7.62mm on from pin 7)
TXD is inverted RS232 at 5v cmos levels. To connect to a true RS232 device, inverting a level shifter must be
used (MAX232 type are ideal, but simple NPN transistor switches with pullups often suffice). With typical
microcontrollers and uarts, direct connection is possible.
The TXL2 provides transmit side of a simplex link, but provided no two devices attempt to transmit at one
time, no further restrictions on data transmission need be made, as all transmit timing, valid data identification
and datastream buffering is conducted by the unit. There is no 'transmit enable' pin.
This unit is compatible with the RXL2 receiver and the TDL2A transceiver
A simple addressing structure is included in the datastream. Units may be programmed onto one of eight
addresses (all units are supplied set to default ADDR=0 and default channel=0, 433.925MHz)

Notes:
1. To enter program mode, the AF/PGM pin must be tied to ground (Vpin below 0.3v: jumper or open collector
recommended). Normally this pin functions as a high impedence (20K) receiver baseband audio output
2. Vcc must be a 5v regulated supply (4.75 - 5.25v)
3. Pinout is as RX2A
4. RXD is inverted RS232 at 5v cmos levels. To connect to a true RS232 device, inverting level shifters must be
used (MAX232 type are ideal, but simple NPN transistor switches with pullups often suffice). With typical
microcontrollers and uarts, direct connection is possible. The same pin is uesd for normal operation Data out,
PGM mode data in, and PGM mode data out.
5. The RXL2 provides a receive side of a simplex link. Provided no two devices attempt to transmit at one time,
no further restrictions on data transmission need be made, as all transmit timing, valid data identification and
datastream buffering is conducted by the unit.
6. This unit is compatible with the TXL2 transmitter and the TDL2A transceiver.
7. A simple addressing structure is included in the datastream. Units may be programmed onto one of eight
addresses (all units are supplied set to default addr=0) and one of five RF channels (supplied default is
channel=0, 433.925MHz)
8. RSSI pin can be changed to a 'BUSY' (= valid data in FIFO) logic output by a solder blob link on the back of
the pcb, otherwise it functions as a signal strength output (0 - 1.4v)
