Features

  • Conforms to EN 300 220-3 and EN 301 489-3
  • Standard frequency 173.225MHz
  • Other frequencies from 120MHz to 180MHz
  • Data rates up to 10kbps for standard module
  • Feature-rich interface (RSSI, analogue and digital baseband)
  • Low current consumption
  • Low battery life
CVR1 is the cut down version of standard BiM1R receiver and lacks internal supply regulator and screening. Although CVR1 is made available for low end wireless applications where the cost is also a concern, its RF performance is not compromised.
