TDL2A
UHF Multi Channel Transparent Data Link Transceiver
The TDL2A is a 9600baud half-duplex multi
channel OEM radio modem in BiM2
footprint, operating on European 433MHz
ISM band. TLD2A acts as a transparent
serial cable to attached host. TDL2A is an
intermediate level OEM radio modem which
is in between a raw FM radio module like
BiM2 and a sophisticated OEM radio
modem like SPM2. It takes care of
preamble, synchronisation, bit balancing
and error checking along with automatic

noise squelching.
The TDL2A provides a half duplex link. Provided no two devices attempt to transmit simultaneously no
further restrictions on data transmission need be made, as all transmit timing, valid data identification
and datastream buffering is conducted by the unit. Synchronisation and framing words in the packet
prevent the receiver outputting garbage in the absence of wanted RF signal or presence of interference.
For multiple radio systems (polled networks) a TDL2A can be set to 1 of 8 unique addresses. As well as
having unique addresses, the TDL2A allows operation on one of 5 pre-set frequencies in the 433MHz
band. These frequencies are non-overlapping and simultaneous operation of TDL2As in the same area
on different channels will be possible. Units are supplied on 433.925MHz (Ch0) as default.
