UIDE FOR TRANSITIONING FROM
LT2510
TO
RM024
I
NTRODUCTION
The RM024 is the first new module in Laird’s rebranded RAMP (Range Amplified MultiPoint) line of
modules. Laird’s RAMP modules excel at providing a wireless serial link over long ranges and with
support for multipoint networks. RAMP modules utilize a Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum
(FHSS) protocol for greater interference and multipath immunity. With two transceivers, the RAMP
line can provide a wireless serial cable replacement capable of extending communications well
beyond the 50 foot maximum for wired connections. RAMP modules also support multipoint –
Star network topologies – and users can employ a nearly unlimited number of clients for
applications such as sensors, controls, and text display boards.
The RM024 is based on the same core technology as the LT2510 and is designed to be a drop in
replacement. Differences between the modules may affect customer designs though; this
document will identify those differences. The RM024 and the LT2510 are over the air compatible
and can both be used in the same network.

Maximum Output power stated, step measurements for power could vary by +/- 1.5 dBm. Step
downs on RM024 are larger than on LT2510, resulting in lower Maximum Power for each step.
Sleep current is estimated.
Estimated. Measurements were taken at 4.1 miles with 5 dBi antenna.
RX Sensitivity is listed at -98 dBm in the LT2510 User Manual, restated here based on new
measurements.
Physical Dimensions are estimated, actual measurements are printed in Mechanical Drawings

NFORMATION
FCC
Due to changes to the key components of the radio frequency (RF) Path, the RM024 will carry a
different regulatory approval number, model number, and have new test reports. Customers are
recommended to have a qualified test lab perform FCC Part 15 Subpart B unintentional radiator
testing on their device to make sure that it continues to be in compliance with the emission limits
for either a Class A or B digital device. In addition, customers will need to update their label
information on their product with the new FCC and IC identification numbers and will need to
update their user manuals and other documentation to reflect the new regulatory information.
CE
A new Declaration of Conformity will be issued for the RM024. Customers will need to update
their Declaration of Conformity to reflect new reports that we issue.
