1.0 USB240D RF Module
1.1 Description
The USB240D is a low power wireless response base module. The USB240D module is used to interact with an
audience so they can provide real time feed back to questions. It communicates at 2.4GHz, GFSK to multiple
keypads. The base module polls keypads, and displays result.
The overall operation of the USB240D module is controlled by a microcontroller. This microcontroller is powered
from the USB interface through a 3V linear regulator, and uses a 20 MHz crystal oscillator. The microcontroller
handles control of the RF communications, LEDs, and USB interface.
RF communications use the Nordic 2.4 GHz transceiver. The Nordic chip uses a 16 MHz reference crystal
oscillator for TX/RX, and is also powered from the 3V linear regulator. The Nordic transceiver uses an integral
inverted F antenna on the PCB board.

2.0 Safety-related information
Safety of the RF Module could be violated if a user connects the EUT to a computer that:
• Has no approval in product safety.
• Provides an USB interface to the EUT that does not belong to the limited power source in the meaning of EN
60590-1.
• Has transients at the USB port for connection to the EUT that exceed 71 V peak.
