 DPM72 XBEE interface

Instruction manual (Rev-2022-08)

1. Description

The   Digalox

®

  DPM72   devices   with   XBEE   interface   can   communicate   with   other 

DPM72 devices via XBEE radio technology (2.4 GHz mesh network). In this way, 
measured values from remote devices can be integrated into a display as remote 
values. Using the radio interface the devices can also be configured individually. 
The mesh network offers a robust connection that ensures continued operation even 
if a single radio node fails. Each additional node acts as a router, increasing the 
range of the network.

2. Specification

2.4 GHz (IEEE 802.15.4) mesh network

Radio module: XB3-24Z8UM-J
(Digi XBee 3 Zigbee 3.0, 2.4GHz, Micro, U.FL Ant, MMT)

Antenna connector: SMA

Range between two radio nodes: up to 60 m indoors, up to 1200 m outdoors 
with a clear line of sight
