QUICK START GUIDE
The Quick Start Guide is included in print with the TSLM.
5.2.1 General
The TSLM is a transparent, real-time wireless modem designed for use in VHF and UHF
telemetry and SCADA systems. Power output is 1-5 W programmable. Data rates are 4800 -
9600 bps (12.5 kHz channels). It contains an 8 channel, synthesized radio transceiver.
5.2.2 Compatibility
The TSLM is based on the Dataradio T-96SR platform giving users the versatility to design
systems with the T-96SR functioning as a Master or Base and repeater and TSLM units
providing economical remote monitoring stations. The TSLM and T-96SR share radio
modulation, on-line diagnostics, and data connector pin-out compatibility.
5.2.3 Installation
The TSLM should be mounted in a clean, dry location. The unit is not hermetically
sealed and must be protected against moisture, corrosive chemicals and high
dust levels.
5.2.4 Antenna
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance
of at least 141 cm (55.5 inches) for VHF models or 121 cm (47.6 inches) for UHF models
from all persons. The antenna must be designed for the frequency of operation and
mounted at an elevation sufficient to cover the distance required. The antenna feedline
should have a male BNC connection and requires an impedance of 50 ohms.
5.2.5 Power Requirements
The TSLM requires a filtered power source of 7.2 - 15 V with a 3 A rating. Power
connection is via the data connector as shown on the next page.
