The DM2200-916VM is a 916.5 MHz transceiver module designed for wireless industrial sensor ap
plications. The transceiver module is equipped with two ADC inputs, three digital inputs, two digital
outputs and a serial port. The communication range of the DM2200-916VM in an “open field” envi
ronment is typically 600 meters/hop. The DM2200-916VM combines RFM’s low-current ASH radio
technology with low-power microprocessor technology to achieve very long battery life. The
DM2200-916VM employs RFM’s VersaMESH
bust wireless network routing, an integrated multitasking operating system, and an extensive appli
cation command set. The DM2200-916VM is certified under FCC 15.247 regulations.

DM2200-916VM Theory of Operation
The major components of the DM2200-916VM include
the TR8100 ASH transceiver and the TI MSP430F148
microcontroller. The TR8100 operates on 916.5 MHz,
with a nominal output power of 10 mW. The MSP430F148 can operate referenced to either a 32.768 kHz
or 6 MHz crystal.
The MSP430F148 UART is used to provide a CMOS
serial interface on connector J2. The microcontroller’s
I/O pins are also available on connector J2 for external
11 12 13 14
monitoring or control. Note that GP0 is dedicated to
measuring the value of the received signal strength
indicator (RSSI) circuit and should always be set as an
analog input. The three LEDs on the transceiver module
display RF communication activity.
DM2200-916VM operation is based on RFM’s multi-
TM
tasking VersaMESH
network protocol, which supports
data and command transfers through both the serial in
TM
terface and the RF channel. See the VersaMESH
Pro
tocol User’s Guide for further details.
