Sync/Esc Framing
A typical Sync/Esc frame resembles the following character stream:
SYNC ML Data0 --- DataN Chksum
8 bits 8 bits 8 bits --- 8 bits 8 bits
with the following definitions made:
Sync (8 bits) - marks the start of a frame when not preceded by an ESC character. When using a Sync/Esc
(Framing) Mode, the Field Programming Software will stuff this character automatically.
ML (8 bits) - the length of the frame. ML is the number of characters left to be received including the checksum
but excluding any ESC characters added as part of the protocol. When using a Sync/Esc (Framing) Mode, the Field
Programming Software will stuff this character automatically based on the number of Data Characters.
Data 0 - N(8 bits each) - frame information
Chksum (8 bits) - the 8 bit 2s complement of the sum of the frame less the SYNC character and any additional
ESC added characters ignoring the carryout of the high order bits. When using a Sync/Esc (Framing) Mode, the
Field Programming Software will stuff this character automatically.

4.1 GENERAL
4.1.1 PERIODIC CHECKS
This module should be put on a regular maintenance schedule and an accurate performance record maintained.
Important checks are receiver sensitivity, transmitter frequency, modulation, and power output. It is recommended
that module performance be checked annually even though periodic checks are not required by the FCC. Section 4
outlines these tests.
4.1.2 SERVICING
The majority of the components used on the printed circuit boards are surface mount devices. JSLM2 module
component level field repair is not recommended. Specialized training and equipment are required to service board
level components. Equipment should be returned to the factory for repair.
4.2 PERFORMANCE CHECKS
4.2.1 CHANNEL FREQUENCY
The module frequency is controlled by a temperature compensated crystal oscillator (DCXO) which has a
frequency stability of ± 1.5 parts per million over a temperature range of -30 to + 60° C. When transmitting (for
example) at 450 MHz, the output frequency should be 450 MHz ± 675 Hz over temperature. The operating
frequency may be adjusted through the case of the JSLM2. Connect the User Interface Cable included in the
JSLM2 Field Programming Kit (part number: 250-2100-001). Connect the antenna port to a frequency counter or
other frequency measurement instrument. Locate the Frequency Adjust Access Hole on the bottom side of the
Loader Board (see Figure 4-2). Enable the transmitter PTT Line and use a small screwdriver to adjust the DCXO
for the desired transmit frequency.
Caution: An RF attentuator may be required depending on the power handling capability of the measuring
instrument.
4.2.2 RF OUTPUT POWER
The RF output power may be verified with an accurate power meter connected with a short 50 ohm cable to the
Antenna Connector. See Section 1, General Specifications for module specifications. Transmitter alignment is
performed in the factory and is not a recommended field adjustment.

Product: JSLM2 module – DL-3282 Bell 103, Bell 202 Modem Configuration
Application:
To provide technical information for connecting a JSLM2 analog module with a DL-3282 RS-232
Modem. The JSLM2 module family is designated as part number 242-2040-XXX for UHF models.
The DL-3282 Modem is part number 250-3282-002 and is available as Bell 202 or Bell 103 format.
Combined with an interface cable (part number 697-3414-003), the module and modem will provide a
reliable 300 baud or 1200 baud RS-232 serial Dataradio system.
Setup:
DL-3282 Modem: The DL-3282 modem does not require special programming for normal Bell 202 or
Bell 103 format. All data parameters are set using an eight-position DIP switch located inside the
modem.
Programming:
JSLM2 Module – The JSLM2 module is computer programmable using the Windows® based
programming kit (part number 250-2100-001). (The Field Programming Software requires Win-
dows® 95 or better.) This kit includes the programming software (on CD-ROM) and the program-
ming cable. Software upgrades are available on our website at http://www.dataradio.com/

Power to the module is applied through the programming cable using the Red (B+) and Black
(ground) wires. Supply voltage is specified from +6.0VDC to +15 VDC. Nominal operating voltage is
+7.2 VDC or +12.5 VDC.
Dataradio recommends storing the programming software on the hard drive of the computer. When
the program is loaded, click on the “Read” button to read the unit’s current programming. Click on
“Parms” and select the appropriate tab (Settings, Radio or Frequencies) to make settings as required.
NOTE: If your application requires one frequency pair, Dataradio recommends all channel locations
be programmed with the same frequencies.

JSLM2 VHF Analog Telemetry Module
FCC Rule: 1.1307, 1.1310, 2.1091 (b) (d), 2.1093
IC Rule: RSS-119 Section 9, RSS-102 Section 2.2
Description of Compliance:
The JSLM2 will be professionally installed in the SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) market and
will be mounted with a fixed RTU (Remote Terminal Unit). A typical installation would use a maximum gain
antenna of 10 dBi mounted on a tower. A minimum separation distance of more than 141 cm must be maintained
between the radiating structure and any person to classify as a mobile under FCC MPE regulations. Note: It is the
responsibility of the user to guarantee compliance with the FCC MPE regulations when operating this device
in a way other than described above.
The calculation for the more stringent specification, a General Population/Uncontrolled Mobile device according to
section 2.1091(b) and section 1.1310 Note 2 is shown below:
Limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure:
