TP1000
Introduction: The TP1000 is an industrial transceiver. It is designed to operate in
conjunction with a TP550 Temperature Probe.
Technical Specifications:
Power: 9-24 VDC input, 12VDC Nominal
Temp Range: -20C to +85C
Frequency: 433MHz
Case Material: ABS
Antenna: ANT-433-CW-HD from Linx Technologies.
Basic Operation:
If the TP1000 is not operated with a control interface connected then the only necessary
connections to the unit is the power cable and the external antenna. Those connections
are described below.
The TP1000 (Base) operates in Receive mode unless it gets a request for acknowledge
from a TP550 (Probe). The Base, once it receives a legitimate packet, will send an
acknowledge back to the Probe, process the information and store it. The Base will only
send Probe data to an outside user when asked for it (ex: If an industrial control requests
data via the RS485 port).
The packet the Base receives is roughly 16.66ms long. The acknowledge packet sent out,
after receiving a legitimate message, is also roughly 16.6ms in length.
The whip antenna will attach via a bulkhead RPSMA connector located on the side of the
TP1000 case. The standard cable length is approximately 36”. The whip antenna is
designed to be mounted on a ground plane at least four inches square. Reliable
communications cannot be guaranteed when a smaller ground plane is used. A larger
ground plane, if possible, is preferred.
The Base is powered via the 5 pin, green connector located on the side of the case. The
pinout is as follows:
Pin 1: RS485A
Pin 2: RS485B
Pin 3: 9-24VDC
Pin 4: GND
Pin 5: GND
Care should be taken not to connect up power to any pin besides Pin 3.
