| The
VHF BiM1 transceiver modules offer a 100mW RFoutput VHF bi-directional
data link in Radiometrix transceiver standard pin-out and footprint.
This makes the BiM1 ideally suited to those low power applications
where existing wideband modules have insufficient range. |

Features
- Conforms to EN 300 220-3 and EN 301 489-3
(10mW version only)
- Standard frequency 151.300MHz
- Other frequencies from 120MHz to 180MHz
- Available separately as BiM1T transmitter
and BiM1R receiver
- TX1H is a BiM1T in TX1 pin-out
- Data rates up to 10kbps for standard module
- Usable range over 10km
- Fully screened
- Feature-rich interface (RSSI, analogue and
digital baseband)
- Low power requirements

| The BiM1 is a half duplex radio transceiver module
for use in long range bi-directional data transfer applications at
ranges up to 10kilometres. The module operates on the UK licence exempt
frequency of 173.225/173.250MHz with 10mW RF output and Australian
frequency of 151.300MHz with 100mW RF output. The small footprint
of 23 x 33mm and low profile of 10mm together with low power requirements
of <80mA (for 100mW) at 3.8V enable convenient PCB installation.
BiM1 is also available as separate BiM1T transmitter and BiM1R receiver
which can be used as dual-in-line equivalents of TX1 transmitter and
RX1 receiver respectively. |
