1 About the RFN420fL

The RFN420fL is a radio communications device designed for use in L+G Focus meters.
It can also be used in Cooper Power Systems Gateways and Relay Nodes. The
RFN420fL provides a 915 MHz radio interface to an RF mesh network, and a ZigBee
interface for HAN applications.

The RFN420fL operates from a power source of 5.0 VDC, received from the host device.
The radio modules operate in license-free bands at either 915 MHz (902.75 to 927.25
MHz) or 2400 MHz (2400 to 2483.5 MHz). RFN420fL Nodes are fully compatible with
mesh network hardware, protocols and operations. Two radio transmission data rates are
available: 76.8 kb/s and153.6 kb/s. The transmission power of the 915 MHz radio is
adjustable from 27 dBm to -20 dBm. The transmission power of the 2400 MHz radio is
