SSST900-500 Smart Spread Spectrum Transceiver
Features
Description
* Small Size: 1.295” by 1.410” by 0.255”
* Serial Control and Configuration of the Wireless Link.
* Supports a 254 node point-to-multipoint network
The SSST900-500 combines a spread spectrum
transceiver and micro-controller in a single, easy-to-
use, FCC Part 15 Registered module. The embedded
communications controller manages the Frequency
Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) link and the host
system interface.
* Programmable Transmit Power Output 100 to 500 mW.
* Typical Receiver Sensitivity -100 dBm
* Obstructed signal range to 1000 feet;
* Wireless Data Rate 76.8K bps, half-duplex
The SSST900-500 supports two unique features to
simplify wireless networking. Count-Off™ allows the
network master to quickly retrieve the status of 125
remote nodes with a single broadcast command.
SensorOnAirTM eliminates the need for an application
controller by utilizing the communications controller to
directly manage analog inputs and digital control lines.
* Low power Consumption
SSST900-500: 1000 mA@ 3.3Volts; when transmitting
at 500 mW output power; less than 1 mA of current
flows in Sleep Mode or Power-Down modes
* SensorOnAirTM (patent pending)allows direct
connection of sensors to the Smart Transceiver
* Count-OffTM (patent pending) allows the host node to
download the status of all nodes in under 10 seconds.
We also offers a low power spread spectrum model,
the SSST900-10, for applications that require less range.
The SSST900-10 has an obstructed range of 300 feet but
is smaller, costs less and uses significantly less power.
* Operating Temperature Range of -40 to +85 C
* FCC Part 15 Registered
