13715 alton pkwy ? irvine ? ca ? 92618 tel: 949.610.0008 ? fax: 949.610.0009 www.rfdigital.com ? sales@rfdigital.com 8 and then releasing it. the modul e will erase its esn list, and dr ive the learn signal in an alternating high/low pattern for a few seconds to indicate that the esn list is now empty. once a module has learned the esn of another module, it will accept any and all data from that module only and not any other modules. up to 60 unique transmitte rs can be taught to one receiver. this network feature can be used for peer-to-peer networks, point to multi-point networks, or multi-point to multi-point networks. the a ssociation can be between two units for simple functions like opening a garage door or with many units to form complex networks with multiple nodes. mode 0 ? active rfid transmitter pin direction function p0.0 input pull to gnd p0.1 input pull to gnd p0.2 input pull to gnd p0.3 output toggles high during transmission p0.4 input active high switch input #1 p0.5 input active high switch input #2 p0.6 input active high switch input #3 the active rfid transmitter tr ansmits a packet with its esn ev ery 2 seconds when the three inputs are all at a low logic level. if any of the three inputs go high, the module transmits the state of all three inputs every 15 ms, until all three inputs are low. the module is active during transmit for 15ms, but remains in an ultra- low power mode for the rest of the 2 second interval. the average power over time is measured in microamps, such that a cr2032 battery should provi de about 60 days of continuous use. if longer periods of use are required, a larger ba ttery can be used to allow it to run up to years of time without replacing the battery, or cont act rf digital to inquire about a custom time setting which will reduce the transmission in terval thus reducing the average power consumption. reference schematic (a reference schematic will show the module with 3 active-high buttons on the logic inputs, and an active-high led on the learn signal.)

(all capitals , one space between the two words) at 9600- 8n1 into the module on the tx_in signal (p0.6) . if this string is not received within 1 second, the module exit s esn read-back mode. the module will respond with the esn and a firmware identifier on t he rx_out signal (p0.5) at 9600-8n1, and then exit esn read-back mode. an exam ple of the output is: 314ce686:rfdp8 v1.2 11/18/08 08:45:16$ the esn is 8 characters, representing a 32- bit number in hexadecimal format. a colon separates the esn from the firmware id. the firmware id is 32 bytes long. the output is terminated with a carriage re turn/line feed pair. when the module exits esn read- back mode, or if the learn signal is not high when the module exists reset, the module will enter regular operation in mode 2 or 3, according to the mode select signals.
