Shortlink's SL4300-B1 wireless transceiver module has been designed for short range communications applications in the standard ISM/SRD band of 433MHz. It offers a quick and easy way to integrate powerful wireless functionality to replace cables at an economical cost, for applications such as telemetry, sensor networks, remote control, cable replacement, home and building automation. Further uses include automatic meter reading, consumer electronics, barcode scanners, meshnet, alarm and security systems, two-way remote key entry, and industrial monitoring and control.
The SL4300-B1 is a single channel transceiver with a maximum data rate of 38.4kbps and a maximum output power of +10dBm (EN 300 220-1 Class 8). When used in a line of sight environment, a range of 1 to 2km is easily achievable. The module is certified for licence-free operation under European regulations, and its embedded protocol simplifies data exchange and configuration for radio communication, helping to ensure that the configured module complies with radio regulations.
The module measures 12.7 x 25.4 x 3.2mm, excluding external antenna. The low-power, discrete RF design provides a long battery life. Operating from a 2.2 - 3.6V DC supply, the transceiver's current consumption in sleep mode is only 1µA. The unit is frequency and temperature calibrated, and a digital signal strength indicator is included.
