4.1. Eerste installatie
- Antenne aansluiten: Securely attach the 433MHz antenna to the SMA-K connector.
- Stroomaansluiting: Connect a 10-28V DC power supply to the DC-IN port. Ensure correct polarity.
- Data-interfaceverbinding:
- For RS232: Connect your device (e.g., PC) to the DB9 RS232 port using a serial cable.
- For RS485: Connect your device to the RS485_A and RS485_B terminals. Ensure proper A/B wiring.
- Modusconfiguratie: Set the M0 and M1 dip switches according to your desired operating mode (e.g., transparent transmission, configuration mode). Refer to the detailed technical manual for specific mode settings.
4.2. Softwareconfiguratie
The E90-DTU-433L30 supports software configuration for various parameters, including frequency, air speed, and address ID.

It is recommended to download and use the official configuration software to customize the module's settings to match your application requirements. This software allows for precise control over the transceiver's operational parameters.
5. Bediening
Once properly configured and connected, the E90-DTU-433L30 operates as a transparent data link. Data sent to its RS232 or RS485 port will be wirelessly transmitted to a paired E90-DTU module, and vice-versa.
- Gegevensoverdracht: When data is received on the serial input (RS232/RS485), the module automatically modulates and transmits it wirelessly. The TXD indicator will flash.
- Gegevensontvangst: Upon receiving wireless data, the module demodulates it and outputs it through the serial interface. The RXD indicator will flash.
- Modusbeheer: Ensure both transmitting and receiving modules are set to compatible operating modes (e.g., transparent transmission mode) for seamless communication.
