Part Number BE082
Definition
The Clarion is a wireless digital transceiver. It transmits
or receives data packets for remote sensing or control. It may
also function as a wireless low speed modem. This eliminates
the need for expensive, vulnerable cabling. Clarion is
suitable for outdoor installation. It may be set up as Peer
to Peer, or set up with one Clarion being the parent to several other
children units. Transmit power is 0.5W (27 dBm). Range
is 1 mile, line of sight, and 0.25 mile in typical industrial settings.
Clarion uses a proprietary protocol in the UHF band, using FM.
The unit may be battery powered and connects to any device that needs
to communicate wirelessly.
Features
1. Bidirectional data transfer.
2. Low power, battery operation possible.
1. Bidirectional data transfer.
2. Low power, battery operation possible.
3. It
is small, so that it fits discreetly in a location.
4. Received Signal Strength Indicator.
5. Multiple network topologies configurable.
6. Its short (ca. 2 in) integral antenna is adequate to
meet the specs herein. No additional antenna is necessary.
7. Multiple channels are supported, so multiple
installations in one site are possible.
8.
No additional FCC licensing is required. This holds true also
in Canada and Mexico. For other countries, check with Basic
Instruments.

J1: Pin 1 is Common. Pins 2 – 5 are General IO, and are
protected by common-mode choke, TVS, and ballast resistor. As
digital inputs, 2 + 3 and 4 + 5 can be assigned as pairs, looking
for NO or NC changes. Pins 2 – 5 may also be assigned as analog
inputs, with 8 or 10-bit precision, and programmable sampling rate.
Pins 2 – 5 may also be assigned as digital outputs, with a source
capability of 3.3V, 10mA each.
