Toro RTS24 User Manual

RTS24 User Manual

The RTS24 module can be interfaced with our host boards through on of the multi-pin
connectors. This is a standard 0.1” center header connector.

The RTS24 module is only designed and authorized to operate in our own Toro Company
Host devices. It will not be a commercially available module and the applicant will retain
control over the final installation.

In order to allow proper operation of the module, only four antenna configurations are
available and limited by use of a reverse polarity SMA connector attached to the module.
Two common antennas are shipped with the product with two optional antennas available
through Toro to make sure it complies with one of the authorized options.

The module connector pins are shown in the schematics and drawings and should be only
connected to host equipment as designated and controlled by The Toro Company. The
VCC input voltage must be <24VDC and all the digital signals comply with standard
CMOS “1” and “0” requirements..

The RTS24 radio complies with 802.15.4 IEEE standard.
The nominal frequency is 2.4Ghz operating on channel 25.
The maximum peak power is less than 0 dBm using any bandwidth.
The typical sensitivity is –108 dBm.
Typical communication range is ~300 feet

Installation Instructions

1. The module is ESD sensitive and should be handled accordingly. Make sure that a

ground strip is used at all time.

2. Before connecting the module be sure that the connection pins adhere to the specs

as set in the schematic;

a. Ground pins are properly grounded.
b. Power supply pin 1 should be connected to the power supply on exceeding

24VDC

c. The rest of the pins are digital pins carrying data and signaling with “1” as

3.3 volts and 0 as “0”. They should adhere to CMOS type levels.

3. The RF portion of the module has a 3.0V regulation but the input voltage should

be kept within 5% of 3.0 volts.

4. The hosting device must have a label that states “Contains FCC ID: OF7RTS24”

besides other required FCC labels for that device.

5. The hosting device must have a label that states “Contains IC: 3575A-RTS24”

besides other required IC labels for that device.

6. The antenna should not be modified and must not be co-located or operated in

conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

FCC/IC Statement

The module itself must have a FCC Identifier “FCC ID: OF7RTS24”. ( IC:3575A-RTS24)

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.

Caution: The user that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Additional radiated spurious emission evaluation for the additional host device may be
required.

Statement needed to be shown on End Product

Since this module is installed inside the end product, the end product should be affixed a
label on visible area showing this product contains a RF model, and also its FCC ID and
IC ID.

Important Note

environment. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
The Toro Company (module integrator and applicant) will not provide information to the
end use regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user manual of the end
product which integrate this module.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.

Caution: The user that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
