Compliance to FCC US/CAN
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.
CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT EXPRESSLY APPROVED BY
ADEUNIS RF COULD VOID THE USER’S AUTHORITY TO OPERATE
THE EQUIPMENT.
RF Exposure Warning: During operation, the user may keep a
minimum separation distance of 20 cm with the RF devices.

Overview
The modem converts data from a serial link into a radio frame to be
sent to a similar piece of equipment.
The operating parameters of these modems (serial link, radio
management…) can be updated through commands on the serial
link.
The products are available either in card version to be integrated in
an assembly or as an IP65 chip. In the IP65 case, the products are
fixed with the fixing lugs onto the top (antenna) and bottom (stuffing
box) of the casing (4 screws not provided).
Product Power supply
To perform wiring of these products, the bottom part of the housing
(part with stuffing box) has to be opened by unscrewing the two
stainless steel screws on each side.

The ARF53 range products are supplied from a DC voltage source. This
voltage source must be 4,5V minimum and must not exceed 36 Vdc. Green
LED is ON when powered.
EASY CHECK
Green LED is ON when modem is
powered.

In order to activate the RS485 management the SW1.1 switch MUST be ON
and the S215 value MUST be 1 (see the following table).
WARNING
the SW1.1 switch is read only at the power-up. Changing the SW1.1 switch
when the modem is already running will not be taken in account.

By default the DE and RE lines are asserted LOW, allowing receiving
character from the RS485 differential bus. The DE and RE lines are asserted
HIGH only when one or several characters have to be transmitted over the
RS485 differential bus: when a radio frame is demodulated, the lines are
asserted HIGH and then the data extracted from the radio frame are sent to
the module TXD line and therefore to the RS485 differential bus. When the
last character has been transmitted over the RS485 differential bus, the lines
are asserted LOW.

In command mode, a reply is sent back (on the TXD line) according to the
following DE/RE timing:
The RS485 link needs to be adapted (each side). The modem includes a
100Ωtermination resistor:
SW1.2 = ON, the resistor is connected between A and B (respectively RX+
and RX-)
SW1.2 = OFF, the resistor is not connected between A and B.
If the modem is ending the RS485 bus, SW1.1 must be ON.
