TXL2/RXL2
UHF Multi Channel Transparent Data Link TX/RX
The TXL2 and RXL2 modules are 9600baud
simplex multi channel OEM radio modems
in a Radiometrix SIL standard footprint,
operating on European 433MHz ISM band.
The TXL2/RXL2 pair act as a transparent
serial cable to attached host. Unlike raw
FM radio modules (e.g. TX2A/RX2A),
TXL2/RXL2 will take care of preamble,
synchronisation, bit balancing and error
checking along with automatic noise
squelching.

The TXL2/RXL2 pair provides a one-way radio link. Provided no two devices attempt to transmit
simultaneously no further restrictions on data transmission need be made, as all transmit timing, valid
data identification and datastream buffering is conducted by the units. Synchronisation and framing
words in the packet prevent the receiver outputting garbage in the absence of wanted RF signal or
presence of interference. For multiple radio systems a TXL2/RXL2 can be set to 1 of 8 unique addresses.
As well as having unique addresses, the TXL2/RXL2 allow operation on one of 5 pre-set frequencies in
the 433MHz band. These frequencies are non-overlapping and simultaneous operation of TXL2/RXL2
pairs in the same area on different channels will be possible. Units are supplied on 433.925MHz (Ch0)
as default.
