MHz antenna extends the 4” length to 8” (200mm) MBTR Page 3 B.2.Miniature Case: You have the option of either O.C.T. or relays. On the relays you have the option of either normally closed (N.C.) or normally open (N.O.) contacts due to pinout count. Power: 3V only for O.C.T., Isolated 4-48VDC and 90-265VAC for either relays or O.C.T. B.3.NEMA 4X Case: Since all we do is install the miniature case inside the NEMA 4X case, the same options and restrictions of the miniature case (see B.2) apply (also see A.4). Note: On special request the NEMA 4X can be fitted with 4 each SPDT 10 amp relays, contact OTEK. B.5.Sanitary Case: Again we install the miniature case (up to 3 ea.) inside the sanitary case, consequently all the options and restrictions of the miniature case (see A.3 and B.2) apply. B.6.Explosion Proof: (see A.6): The same features of the E. P. for the “T” apply here except we don’t recommend the battery pack with the relay option since each relay consumes about 50mA @ 5VDC. The “R” should always be “ON” (about 7mA) unless you control it for “stand-by” and “wake-up”. B.7.Batteries: Not recommended for “R” (see A.6) but if you must, specify at time of ordering (see A.7). Warning: You CANNOT change frequency band and output power. It is done at the factory due to FCC and antenna matching. C. Repeater (RPR) Repeater: In this mode, the MBTR receives data on one frequency channel and transmits it in another in almost Real Time except for the latency and limited by the Data Rate (see specs.). This configuration is useful for doubling the range and/or "Mesh" communication techniques thanks to the frequency hopping of the MBTR. The "RPR" can be automatically switched from "RPR" to "T" when any one of its 4 inputs is driven "Low" forcing the unit to transmit its ID (Location) and alarm input type (If only I.N.S. would listen, we could detect illegal border crossers "Pronto") to other RPR to computer or satellites. D. “TR”: The “TR” (Transceiver) uses the same PCB as the “T” or “R” except we populate it differently. If it is ordered for SPI I/O (Option S) we don’t install the micro, if ordered with UART (Option M) and/or other options such as A/D, we install the microcontroller and program it as required. Pinout: We use the same pinout as the “T” and “R” as much as possible so you don’t have to change your PCB except for some possible jumpers if you use all 4 versions on your same product. D.1.SPI: (Option "S") In addition to the 4 SPI I/O the “TR” gives you access to other control pins of the internal microcontroller in the R.F. chip, such as valid data or interrupt input, clock out (to synchronize your uC), FIFO interrupt or data filter input or received data clock out, FIFO select input or received data output or FSK data input. With the SPI you can control, among other things, the “low bat” detection threshold, sleep, stand-by, and wake-up, status register, P.O.R., 2 each 8 bit register for TX and 16 bit for RX. Sorry, you cannot change the band, center frequency, bandwidth or higher output power but you can change down power (TX) and the sensitivity of the LNA (as RX). Refer to user’s manual for more information or get the uC version, it’s all done for you or OTEK can customize it to your needs. Don’t forget, all I/O are 3V logic! D.2. µC (Option C): Here we do it all for you! All you need is a 3V logic compatible I/O. This version has many forms of operation all via simple configuration commands and if you don’t have a UART compatible I/O you can disable it and use the pins as data input and output. Some functions are: D.2.1.Virtual WireTM: Whatever you put at the input, you’ll get at the output (3V logic). D.2.2.*Latched: A “logic 0” or dry contact close at the inputs (4) will latch the receiver’s output until a general Reset command is sent or the “RX “ manually reset, but you must configure the units for either TX or RX. D.2.3.Start-Stop: The first “logic 0” pulse at the TX will send an “ON” command to the RX for that specific channel (1 of 4), the second pulse will send a reset command to the RX for that channel. D.2.4.*Momentary: On falling edge (or contact closure) at the input, the "TX" will transmit the “ON” signal to the "RX" for it to turn its corresponding output “ON” (1 of 4). On the rising edge (or contact opening) the "TX" will transmit the “OFF” command for the “RX” to reset its output(s). That is why we call it Virtual WireTM! * = Only Available modes in "Key-Fob" case. D.2.5. 10 Bit A/D: The "MBTR" has a 4 channel 10 bit A/D that can be enabled to measure (as a "TX") and transmit the wireless data to the "RX" for it to output it in digital format through its UART port. A simple command enables/disables the A/D or converts it to digital I/Os. MBTR Page 4 D.2.6 Counter: A 16 Bit UP/Down Counter/ Timer is available so you can use it as required or as a PWM with external circuitry. Again, one MBTR should be configured as "TX" and another as "RX". D.2.7 FIFO: Almost like our Virtual WireTM but you can transmit and receive in "Bursts" up to 8 bit wide and yu can do it in a two way mode by switching the MBTR from TX to RX upon completion of data sent. Remember that the MBTR has 2 each, 8 bit storage registers. The first to store incoming data and the second to store outgoing data (FIFO). This can also be used to store "Preamble" and ID data. D.2.8 Custom Configurations: OTEK will be happy to customize your confidential propriatory firmware requirements as well as hardware, whether it is one piece or millions. All of our customers are important (we do not check your size). D.2.9 Package: As of this writing, the "TR" version of the MBTR is only available in "Naked" configuration for OEMs with either helical or whip antenna and 3V or 4 - 12VDC power. Consult OTEK for other packages.
