CM2201N
916.50 MHz
The CM2201N is a 916.5 MHz transmitter module designed to monitor industrial alarm
sensors. Communication range in an “open field” environment is typically 100 meters.
The CM2201N combines RFM’s very low-current SAW resonator stabilized transmitter
technology with low-power microcontroller technology to achieve long battery life. The
module is compatible with RFM’s miniMESH
“plug-and-play” multicast mesh network routing. The CM2201N is certified for operation
under FCC 15.249 regulations.

Theory of Operation
The major components of the CM2201N include an
RFM SAW resonator stabilized transmitter and a
Microchip PIC12F200 microcontroller. The transmitter
operates on a frequency of 916.5 MHz, at a nominal
output power of 0.5 mW. The microcontroller generates “heart beat” transmissions periodically, plus an
immediate transmission in the event of a sensor alarm
or test button activation. The CM2201N is powered by
a replaceable 3 V CR2032 lithium “coin cell” battery.
The CM2201N is compatible with RFM’s miniMESH
TM
network protocol, which provides add-on “plug-andplay” multicast mesh network routing to improve com
munication range and robustness.
