Ebyte wireless data transceiver E90-DTU series user manual . 2 1.Introduction 1.1. Brief introduction E90-DTU series are wireless data transceivers of 868M/915MHz with standard RS232/RS485 connectors. They are half-duplex TX & RX modems with GFSK modulation, which largely lower frequency bandwidth thus enable its strong anti-interference ability. Transparent transmission mode is available. Voltage supply ranges from 10V to 28V, convenient for users to install and debug. E90-DTU features FEC algorism, which enables higher coding efficiency and correction ability. The interfered data packets will be corrected proactively upon sudden interference, which significantly improves reliability and communication distance. Without FEC, the interfered data packet will be dropped. The transceivers feature data encryption and compression. The data transmitted in air features randomness, the rigorous algorism makes data interception meaningless. The data compression function has possibility to reduce the data transmission time, which in turn reduces the possibility of being interfered, thus improves the reliability and communication efficiency. As a communication media, similar as optical fiber, microwave and cable, the wireless data transceiver can be applied in specific scope: it provides real-time and reliable data transmission of specific network monitor signal under some special conditions, it features cost-efficiency, easy installation, simple maintenance, super diffraction ability, flexible networking structure, large area covering and so on. It is suitable for multiple points under complex environment, and it is applicable for connecting with PLC, RTU, hyetometer, level gauge and so on. E90-DTU series strictly follow FCC, CE, CCC standards, and meet various certification requirements and can be applied all over the world. 1.2.

Please refer to below figure: 9. Important Notes 1. Please do not operate the devices at or near inflammable or explosive areas. 2. Please select stable DC power supply sources, which should have strong anti-interference ability and low ripple as well as load capacity; it is better to have overcurrent or overvoltage and lightning protection in order to ensure normal operation. 3. Please do not use the devices at environment that exceeds the limitation such as high temperature, high humidity, low temperature, strong electromagnetic or dusty environment. 4. Please do not make the devices work continuously at overload status, or it will damage the devices. 5. The ground electrode of the transceiver should be connected firmly to the external device’s (PC, PLC, ETC.) and power source ground electrode, or it is easy to damage the communication interfaces; please do not plug on or off the serial port with power on. 6. When testing the transceivers, matched antennas or 50Ω dummy load must be connected, or it is easy to damage the devices; if antenna connected, human body should be at least 2 meters from the antenna to avoid injury, and do not touch the antenna when it is transmitting. 7. Under different environment, the communication distance will be different. Communication distance will be affected by temperature, humidity, blockage density, blockage size and electromagnetic environment; in order to have stable communication, at least 50% communication allowance is recommended to be kept. 8. If the tested communication distance is not ideal, please also consider about improving the antenna quality and antenna installation. Or please
