1 INTRODUCTION
The Gridstream SCADA Series 5 Single Board Radio (Gridstream S5 SBR) is for use by OEM
vendors wanting to incorporate Gridstream capability into their SCADA/DA and similar products.
The design of the board allows integration with an OEM enclosure and communication with the
customer's equipment via a 50-pin connector. Table 1 - 4, "I/O Connector Pin Functions and
Acceptable Voltage Levels," provides details for the interface.
Figure 1-1. 40-2550 SBR S5 Radio card
The Gridstream S5 SBR is a self-contained 630 mW Integrated WanGate Radio (IWR) which
includes voltage regulation, micro-processor, and radio. Output power can be set to 50, 150, or
630mW.
Figure 1 - 2. Gridstream S5 SBR
This Gridstream S5SBR is based upon existing Gridstream architecture and will operate as a node
within a Gridstream network. It is similar in construction to a Gridstream metering endpoint, but
with an optional onboard antenna and I/O ports. It has received Modular FCC approval when
used with the approved cable and antenna.

1.4 Pin J1-1, 2, 3, 4, 6 (VIN)
This pin must be supplied with DC voltage between 4.0 and 7.0 VDC with 5.0 VDC considered
nominal.
The input voltage is linearly regulated on the board. While the linear regulation can remove
some noise, Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) varies with frequency. If the power source is
particularly noisy, filtering may be required. Landis+Gyr engineering can assist in defining radio
tests to determine if power supply noise is affecting radio performance.
The input voltage must be maintained between 4.0 VDC and 7.0 VDC during operation. The on-
board electronics include fast-acting reset circuitry. If the voltage drops below 4.0 VDC, even
transiently, the system will reboot once the voltage returns to normal range. If the voltage rises
above 7.1 VDC, even transiently, the voltage-sensitive components could be damaged.
Upon power up, the on-board processor and voltage regulator requires the supply voltage to
have a minimum of 0.05 V/msec slew rate - which implies rising from a logic 0 to a logic 1 in no
less than 66 msec. Power consumption during normal receive mode is typically 70 mA. Current
consumption during 50 mW transmit mode is 200 mA, 300 mA during 150 mW transmit mode,
and 700 mA during 630 mW transmit mode.
1.5 Pin J1- 27 (LPP TX) and Pin J1-25 (LPP RX)
These pins are used to interface with the device's LAN Packet Port. These pins are driven at TTL
level supply, 3.6 VDC.
Baud rates on this port default to 9,600 bps but, using RadioShop, are configurable from 1,200
bps to 115,200 bps.
To reduce chances of electrical damage, a 10Kohm series resistor is placed in-series with the pin
which limits the drive current capability of this pin.
Stray physical capacitance on this circuit should be kept below 250[pF].
NOTE: These pins should NOT be directly connected to an RS-232 interface on a computer.
Where such a connection is necessary, the developer must connect to the unit through an
externally- powered TTL to RS-232 VDC converter, NOT via the pins or the RS-232 connection on
the computer.

98-2550 Rev AE 13
Landis+Gyr Quick Start Guide
1.6 Pin J1- 37 (DIGITAL_IO1) and Pin 39 (DIGITAL_IO2)
These pins are general purpose digital I/O lines and are driven at TTL supply levels.
If not used, they should not be left unconnected and should be held low by connecting the pin
to a common ground.
If used, these pins must be driven to a valid logic high or low and not left at intermediate
voltages as this will result in indeterminate logic values and may damage the device.
1.7 Pin J1-45 (ANALOG_IO1) and Pin 47 (ANALOG_IO2)
These pins are analog inputs to the device. Voltages must be scaled to the 0 to 2.5 VDC range.
The Gridstream S4SBR returns the DC voltage as HEX values in the memory locations as
described in “Analog Input Functionality” on page 31.
To obtain the HEX values, a DCW must be developed to read and send the HEX values to the
host computer. Once the host has the HEX values, the corresponding voltage can be derived
using the following formula:
Voltage = (Decimal value/1023) * 2.5
98-2550 Rev AE
14
Gridstream SCADA/DA S5SBR
Quick Start Guide Landis+Gyr
The DCW that reads the memory location returns a HEX value, within range of 0x0 - 0x03FF. The
user can convert to decimal using the formula obtaining the value in VDC. The table below
shows examples of various voltages and the equivalent HEX values.
Table 1 - 5. Example Hex Values and Equivalent Voltages
NOTE: If desired, the Analog I/O pins may be configured as digital I/O pins or, alternatively, as
General Purpose I/O pins.

1.9 Pin J1-15 (LOW_RF_POWER)
The purpose for this pin is to reduce the RF output power level to assure operation during
development and OEM manufacturing process. A logic high on this pin leaves the device in its
normal mode of operation, functioning with full rated RF transmitter power. This pin may also
be left unconnected and would therefore result in normal mode operation due to onboard pull-
up.
A logic low (pin connected to ground) reduces the RF output power level to approximately 150
mW for use in environments where high RF output power is not required or only low input
power is available to the device. This pin is a digital input, driven internally at TTL supply level.
This pin must be left not connected or pulled low to ground as intermediate voltages will result
in indeterminate conditions and may damage the device.
1.10 Pin J1- 29 (Outage Detect)
This pin is used to enable or disable the Gridstream S5 SBR. It is a digital input and must be
driven to a valid logic high (3.6 VDC) or low (GND), since intermediate voltages will result in
indeterminate logic values and may damage the device.
A logic high (5VDC) provides power to the device.
A logic low (GND) turns off the device.
Prior to turning off the device, all interface signals must be driven low and logic voltage
removed. This includes all TTL logic lines, digital and analog I/O lines.
When the device is turned off with this pin, total current consumption will be less than 100μA.
NOTE: When the board is not in use, voltage should not be applied to any interface. Applied
voltage may damage the device as destructive latch-up may occur.
98-2550 Rev AE

Gridstream SCADA/DA S5SBR
Quick Start Guide Landis+Gyr
1.11 Pin 12 (TPP RX) and Pin 13 (TPP TX)
These pins are used to interface with the device's Transparent Port. These pins are driven at TTL
supply level.
Baud rates on this port default to 9,600 bps but, using RadioShop, are configurable to
115.2Kbps.
To reduce chances of electrical damage, a 1Kohm series resistor is placed in-series with the pin
which limits the drive current capability of this pin.
Stray physical capacitance on this circuit should be kept below 250[pF].
NOTE: These pins should NOT be directly connected to an RS-232 interface on a computer.
Where such a connection is necessary, the developer must purchase a TTL to RS-32 VDC
converter which is powered external and NOT via the pins or the RS-232 connection on the
computer.
1.12 Antennas
As with any RF device, antenna-related decisions are critical and must be made early. The RF
range of the final product will depend greatly on the choice of antenna and where it is placed.
50-ohm U.FL connector to SMA female cable, for RF co-axes connection to an external antenna.
1.13 External Antenna
An external antenna is connected to the board via an U.FL coaxial SMA female RF cable.
This cable is provided in order to mate to a Coax cable made to specification to fit location of
antenna.
See
Figure A - 3. RF Coaxial Cable
The external antenna used to qualify the board is an omnidirectional 5 dBi whip (shown in the
next figure), made by Manufacturers Marketing Group (MMG). The MMG part number for this
antenna is 16-1000-0. MMG contact information is on page 35. This antenna can be used, or any
other omnidirectional whip antenna with 5 dBi gain or less.

2.6 Troubleshooting
The Gridstream S5 SBR has been designed as a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU). As such, there are no serviceable
parts in the unit.
If you suspect parts within the Gridstream S5 SBR have failed:
1. Inspect the module to determine if there is any visual indication of damage to the unit.
2. Verify that power is being supplied to the unit. If the power is within operating parameters, proceed to
Step 3.
3. Try to connect with a locally connected Series-4 IWR configured the same as the Gridstream S5 SBR. If,
after five minutes, the locally connected Series-4 IWR does not acquire the Gridstream S5 SBR in its
neighbors list, the Gridstream S5 SBR should be replaced.

3 DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT
3.1 Gridstream SCADA/DA Series 5 Single Board Radio Interface Board
The Gridstream S5 SBR has been designed as a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU). As such, there are no serviceable
parts in the unit.
NOTE: The drawings provided in this section are for design reference purposes only. No interface board is
available for purchase from Landis+Gyr.
Figure 3 - 1. Board Component Layout
Gridstream SCADA/DA S5SBR
98-2550 Rev AE 27
Landis+Gyr Quick Start Guide
Figure 3 - 2. Board Components Schematic
NOTE: With the digital input switch tying the digital I/O pin on the Gridstream S5 SBR to either logic 0 or a logic
1 voltage level, this Development Test Platform One does not have functions to test the digital output of the
Gridstream S5 SBR. It is recommended to NOT configure the digital I/O pin as output when the Gridstream S5
SBR is connected to the test interface board.
3.2 Transparent Port (TPP) Connection
This connector is used to establish connection to the Gridstream S5 SBR through the transparent port. When
communication through the transparent port is desired, connect the USB cable to this connector.
3.3 LAN Packet Port (LPP) Connection
This connector is used to establish connection to the Gridstream S5 SBR through the LAN packet port. When
communication through the LAN packet port (using RadioShop) is desired, connect the USB cable to this
connector.
3.4 Onboard Regulator
The Gridstream S5 SBR interface board is equipped with an onboard VDC regulator. This regulator accepts a 4.0
~ 7.0 VDC input from a main power source and regulates it to power device electronics.
NOTE: The S5 SBR onboard VDC regulator is not capable of supplying power to additional devices beyond the
S5 SBR.

3.5 Digital Input
Digital input to Gridstream S5 SBR can be tested by toggling the two switches on the test board that
correspond to D1 for DIGITAL_IO1 and D2 for DIGITAL_IO2. The switch will toggle between 0V and supply VDC.
3.6 Analog Input
Analog input to the Gridstream S5 SBR can be tested by tuning the two potentiometers on the test board that
correspond to A1 for ANALOG_IN1 and A2 for ANALOG_IN2. The input voltage should lay between 0 VDC and
2.5 VDC.
NOTE: With an on-board reference 2.5 VDC, the highest analog input the Gridstream S5 SBR may sense is
limited to 2.5 VDC. Although the processor on the Gridstream S5 SBR may withstand supply VDC analog input,
users are advised not to exceed 2.5 VDC.
3.7 General Usage Instruction
Depending on the desired method used to establish communication, connect a USB cable to the Transparent
Packet Port (TPP), the LAN Packet Port (LPP) connection, or both.
NOTE: To provide power to the Gridstream S5 SBR test Platform, the power input must be supplied externally
(as shown) because the USB cable, when connected to the TPP or LPP connector, does not have provide power
for the test board.
Set the USB power input to an appropriate level by toggling the switch (P) controlling the *PWR_DN signal (pin
9) to OFF position.
Connect the Gridstream S5 SBR to the test board through the board-to-board I/O connector (located under the
SRB).
Toggle the switch (P) controlling the signal (pin 9) *PWR_DN to the ON position to turn the Gridstream S5 SBR
ON.
The switch (LP) controlling *LOW_RF_POWER may be toggled to set (pin 8) the transmit level of the Gridstream
S5 SBR under test. This switch will control whether to transmit with limited or full power.

3.9 Digital I/O Functionality
NOTE: This device provides two general purpose digital I/O lines. These are controllable through the DCW
programming language. It is outside the scope of this document to describe that language but, in brief, there
are mechanisms by which each line can be independently configured as input or output.
The state of inputs can be read, and the state of outputs can be set. DCW code execution operates as a virtual
environment and, as such, does not support rapid transitions. Users should understand the speed limitations
associated with the use of these digital I/O pins.
The register below can be used to control either of the two general purpose I/O pins (D1 & D2) located at
memory location 7700 (hex).

3.10 Analog Input Functionality
This device provides two general purpose analog inputs. These are filtered and connected to a
10-bit A/D converter.
NOTE: The voltage reference for this A/D converter is 2.5 VDC +/- 60[mVDC] across the
operating temperature range.
This A/D converter has the following specifications:
Table 3 - 2. A/D Converter Specifications
A/D characteristic Specification
Resolution 10 bit
INL +/-5 LSB
Absolute Accuracy +/-5 LSB
DNL +/-1 LSB
Offset Error +/-3 LSB
Gain Error +/-3 LSB
NOTE: The actual sampling time is 0.25 μS and the conversion time is 2.75 μS, but the rate at
which signals on these inputs can be sampled in-practice is limited by the DCW execution. It is
recommended that these channels be used only for DC voltage measurement, and that the
sampling rate cannot exceed 100 mS.
