★ Note: In the same area, multiple groups of digital DTUs are used for one-to-one communication at the same time. It is
recommended that each group of digital DTUs set the channel spacing above 2MHz.
★ Note: The lower the transmission power, the closer the transmission distance, but the working current will not decrease in the
same proportion. It is recommended to use the maximum transmission power.
★ Note: The higher the air speed setting, the faster the transmission rate and the shorter the transmission distance; therefore, when
the speed meets the requirements of use, it is recommended that the airspeed be as low as possible.

★ Note: It is recommended to reserve more than 50% of the current margin when selecting the power supply, which is conducive to
the long-term stable operation of the DTU.
★ Note:
1. If the DTU’s single received data is greater than the single packet capacity, the excess data will be automatically allocated to the
second transmission until the transmission is completed;
2. The single received data of the DTU cannot be larger than the buffer capacity.
Example: Set the address of DTU A to 0xFFFF and the channel to 0x04.
When DTU A is used as a transmitter (same mode, transparent transmission mode), all receiving DTU under the 0x04 channel
can receive data to achieve the purpose of broadcasting.
Example: Set the address of DTU A to 0xFFFF and the channel to 0x04.
When DTU A is receiving, it can receive all the data under channel 0x04 to achieve the purpose of monitoring.
E95-DTU has four working modes. When there is no demanding low power consumption requirement, it is recommended to configure
the DTU to transparent transmission mode (mode 0) if normal communication is required;
The default setting of the DTU at the factory is transparent transmission mode (mode 0).

Mode On On
Type When the M0 indicator light is off and the M1 indicator light is off, the DTU is working in mode 0
The radio receives user data from the serial port. The maximum length of the radio data packet transmitted
by the radio is 54 bytes. When the user input data reaches 54 bytes, the radio will start wireless
transmission. At this time, the user can continue to input the data that needs to be transmitted.
Sending When the user needs to transmit less than 54 bytes, the radio waits for about 20ms. If there is no user data to
continue to input, the data is considered to be terminated, and the radio sends all the data wirelessly. The
user can continue to enter data. Data packets sent through mode 0 can only be received by the receiving
station in mode 0.
Receiving The radio has been turning on the wireless receiving function and can receive data packets from mode 0.
Type When the M0 indicator light is on and the M1 indicator light is off, the DTU is working in mode 1
Sending Wireless transmission is not allowed, and the received serial data will be discarded.
Air wireless data cannot be received, only the signal strength of the current channel is scanned, and a
strength value (relative value) is output through the serial port every 100ms.
Receiving Numerical calculation method: signal strength = -(256(decimal) – data(decimal)) dBm
If the hexadecimal value output by the serial port is 0x91, the actual signal strength is:
-(256(decimal)-145(decimal))=-111dBm
Type When the M0 indicator light is off and the M1 indicator light is on, the DTU is working in mode 2
Configurating The user can access the register to configure the working status of the radio

1. Please take good care of the warranty card of the device. The warranty card contains the factory number (and important technical
parameters) of the device, which has important reference value for the user's future maintenance and new equipment.
2. During the warranty period, if the DTU is damaged due to the quality of the product itself rather than man-made damage or
natural disasters such as lightning strikes, it enjoys free warranty; please do not repair by yourself, and contact our company if
there is a problem. Ebyte provides first-class After-sales service.
3. Do not operate this DTU in the vicinity of some flammable places (such as coal mines) or explosive dangerous objects (such as
detonators for detonation).
4. A suitable DC stabilized power supply should be selected, which requires strong anti-high frequency interference, small ripple,
and sufficient load capacity; preferably, it should also have over-current, over-voltage protection and lightning protection
functions to ensure that the DTU is normal jobs.
5. Do not use it in a working environment that exceeds the environmental characteristics of the DTU, such as high temperature,
humidity, low temperature, strong electromagnetic field or dusty environment.
6. Don't let the DTU continuously be in full load transmitting state, otherwise the transmitter may be burnt out.
7. The ground wire of the DTU should be well connected with the ground wire of the external equipment (such as PC, PLC, etc.)
and the ground wire of the power supply, otherwise the communication interface will be burnt easily; do not plug or unplug the
serial port with power on.
8. When testing a DTU, you must connect a matching antenna or a 50Ω dummy load, otherwise the transmitter will be easily
damaged; if the antenna is connected, the distance between the human body and the antenna should be more than 2 meters to
avoid injury. Touch the antenna when transmitting.
9. Wireless data transmission stations often have different communication distances in different environments. The communication
distance is often affected by temperature, humidity, obstacle density, obstacle volume, and electromagnetic environment; in order
to ensure stable communication, it is recommended to reserve more than 50% The communication distance margin.
10. If the measured communication distance is not ideal, it is recommended to analyze and improve the communication distance
from the antenna quality and antenna installation method. You can also contact [email protected] for help.
11. When selecting the power supply, in addition to keeping 50% of the current margin as recommended, it should also be noted that
its ripple must not exceed 100mV.
12. Wireless communication products need to be connected to an impedance-matched antenna to work normally. Even short-term
tests cannot be omitted. Product damage caused by this reason will not be covered by the warranty.
