This is not a specification
433MHz high speed FM radio transceiver module
The BiM2 transceiver is an enhanced
replacement for our original BiM module. It
offers greater transmit power, higher data
rates, greatly improved receiver
interference rejection and a lower profile.
The module is ideal for enabling bi-
directional wireless connectivity in battery
powered or handheld applications
Features
Conformity to EN 300-220-1, ETS 300-683
Usable range to 200 metres external, 50 metres in
building
BiM2-433-64
Data rates to 64kbit/s
SAW controlled 10mW FM transmitter
Double conversion FM superhet receiver
SAW front end filter and full screening
Plug in replacement for Radiometrix BiM-433-F
3-5Volt supply at < 20mA
The BiM2 is a half duplex radio transceiver module for use in high-speed bi-directional data transfer
applications at ranges up to 200metres. The module operates on the European licence exempt
frequency of 433.92MHz and conforms to the relevant sections of EN 300-220 and ETS 300-683. The
small footprint of 23 x 33mm and low profile of 4mm together with low power requirements of
<20mA @ 3 to 5 Volts enable convenient PCB installation. The high raw data rate capability of
64kbit/s and fast state change times will support high data throughput of up to 3 kbyte/s in
‘streaming’ applications or alternatively allows very short air time utilization (TX on < 10 ms) in
multi-node scanning networks.
