WARNING: Driving the TTL signals at RS232 levels can permanently damage the module. By default the module is configured to drive only the RS232 pins. To drive the TTL signals you must remove the resistor R7. R7 can be found on the bottom of the board, near the center. Remove R7 to enable the UART TTL signaling on pins 8-11. This will disconnect pins 13-16 from the UART interface.

DS-RN24_V2 1/28/2009 809 University Avenue • Los Gatos, CA 95032 • Tel (408) 395-6539 • info@RovingNetworks.com Design Concerns 1. Reset circuit. RN-24 contains a 1k pulldown, the polarity of reset is ACTIVE HIGH. A power on reset circuit with delay is OPTIONAL on the reset pin of the module. It should only be required if the input power supply has a very slow ramp, or tends to bounce or have instability on power up. Often a microcontroller or embedded CPU IO is available to generate reset once power is stable 2. Factory reset PIO4. It is a good idea to connect this pin to a switch, or jumper, or resistor, so it can be accessed. This pin can be used to reset the module to FACTORY DEFAULTS and is often critical in situations where the module has been mis-configured. 3. Connection status. PIO5 is available to drive an LED, and blinks at various speeds to indicate status. PIO2 is an output which directly reflects the connection state, it goes HIGH when connected, and LOW otherwise. 4. RS485 support. RS-485 signaling with auto-direction control is ONLY supported on PCB rev 4 and later. Treat pins 22 and 23 as no connect on previous PCB boards. 5. Using SPI bus for flash upgrade. While not required, this bus is very useful for configuring advanced parameters of the Bluetooth modules, and is required for upgrading the firmware on modules. The suggested ref-design shows a 6pin header which can be implemented to gain access to this bus. A minimum-mode version could just use the SPI signals (4pins) and pickup ground and VCC from elsewhere on the design. 6. Minimizing Radio interference. When integrating the RN24 DIP module with on board chip antenna be sure the area around the chip antenna end of RN24-S module protrudes at least 5mm from the PCB and any metal enclosure. If this is not possible use the RN24-E. 7. Soldering Reflow Profile. • Lead-Free Solder Reflow • Temp: 230 degree C , 30-40 seconds, Peak 250 degree C maximum. • Preheat temp: 165 +- 15 degree C, 90 to 120 seconds. • Time: Single Pass, One Time 8. Connecting to the GPIO. Placing 3.3Vdc into the PIO’s while they are set as outputs will permanently damage the radio. The failure mode is short across GND and VCC. Use a 10KO resistor is series or a 10KO pull up resistor for input and output PIO’s respectively. • Make sure to connect a common ground when using the external TX, RX inputs on the 0 – 3.3Vdc • For a 3 wire DB-9 interface (tx, rx, gnd only) connect/short CTS to RTS, Factory default is hardware flow control enabled CTS and RTS connected. • When using a 5.0Vdc Input, PIO’s require a 10K ohm series resistor. PIO’s are 0-3.3Vdc not 5 volt tolerant.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Requirements This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. FCC Caution : To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. (Example - use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices). This Transmitter must not be colocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Any changes or modifications (including the antennas) made to this device that are not expressly approved by the manufacturer may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. End Product Labeling This transmitter module is authorized only for use in devices where the antenna may be installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users. The final end product must be labeled in visible area with the following: “Contains FCC ID: T9J-RN24 ” End Product Manual Information The user manual for end users must include the following information in a prominent location “IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation
distance of at least 20cm from all persons and must not be colocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.” This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions (1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop configurations or colocation with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for reevaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions: The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users. As long as a condition above is met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
