Linx Technologies OEM Transmitter Evaluation Kit - Manual (Page 3)

– – 1
Introduction
Linx OEM RF transmitters offer a simple, efficient and cost-effective method
of adding remote control and command capabilities to any product. The
Basic Evaluation Kit provides a designer all the tools necessary to correctly
incorporate Linx OEM transmitters and receiver modules into a product.
The evaluation board serves several important functions:
• Rapid Evaluation: It allows the performance of the transmitters and
receivers to be evaluated quickly in a user's environment.
• Range Testing: Using the OEM transmitter and the included
development board, a simplex transmission is generated that can be
used to evaluate the range performance of the products.
• Prototype Development: An on-board prototyping area is provided,
which allows for additional circuitry to be placed directly on the board
so that it can act as the first prototype of the product. All of the signals
are available on a breakout header for easy access.
• Design Benchmark: During the design process of your product, the kit
provides a known benchmark against which the performance of your
own design may be judged.
The kit includes 2 OEM transmitters, 2 DS Series encoders / decoders*, 2
LR Series receivers*, 2 PCB-mount RP-SMA connectors*, 1 development
board, 1 CW Series antenna, 2 AAA batteries and full documentation.
*One part is soldered to the board, one extra is for use on the first prototype board
