HOW TO CONFIGURE

KYL-500, KYL-200 and KYL-300 series


Mini-size Wireless
Data Transceiver Module
(By Dave Chika Chinweze, +2347060580383,e-mail:chez_projects@yahoo.com)



KYL-500S is a Mini-size RF transceiver. It is usually used for restricted space
application. With TTL interface, it is widely used for micro-controller wireless
communication and other TTL level port communication systems. It has high
reliability and good performance.

Having used this RF module in most of my applications involving wireless data transfer, I recommend it
to all electronic hobbyists, Professionals etc.but unlike a TWSxxx, TLPxxxA series transmitters and
RWSxxxa, TLPxxx series receivers which are easy to use and does not require any configurations prior
to use in your embedded applications. Their Low Costs and Design make these hybrid modules suitable

for a Easy Link of Wireless applications.The typical range is 500ft for open area. (KLY500s 1000meters
at 1200bps; 600meters at 9600bps baud-rates).There are 433.92 MHz, 418Mhz and 315Mhz available


TLP 315A TLP 315 RLP 315 RLP 315A


TLP & RLP 315 MHz.
Model Description
TLP 315 Transmitter at 315 Mhz.
TLP 315A Transmitter at 315 Mhz.
RLP315 Receiver at 315 Mhz.
RLP315A Receiver at 315MHZ.


This ASK transmitter module with an output of up to 8mW depending on power supply voltage. The
TLP transmitter is based on SAW resonator and accepts both linear and digital inputs, can operate from 2
to 12 Volts-DC, and makes building RF enabled products very easy.
This receiver has a sensitivity of 3uV. It operates from 4.5 to 5.5 volts-DC and has both linear and digital
outputs. The typical sensitivity is -103dbm and the typical current consumption is 3.5mA for 5V operation
voltage.





CONFIGURING THE KLY500x,KLY200x AND KLY300x series.



Step 1
Before using your KLY500 series RF modules you need to configure first with KLYCOM Transceiver
Demo software which you runs on your PC and the Rf module connected to Pcs serial port (dont worry
if your PC does not have serial port, you can use USB to serial port converter which adds a virtual Serial
port to your PC.)
Extract the software using Winrar or WinZip, Run the KLYCOM, select or choose English.




Next is connect your KLYxxx Rf module to your Pc serial port (if your using a laptop without serial port
then purchase a usb to serial port converter, I normally use by prolific but any good one will work).

STEP 2
Using the table and diagram below interface the Rf module to the to the Pc through max232, Please do
not forget to power the Rf module with a regulated 5volts Dc supply.







Interfacing KLY500, KLY200 and KLY300 series to Pc for configuration.

STEP 3

Check all your connections for any errors. Run the KLYCOM and read the rf module after which
you can re-configure your own desired parameters.

You can use KYLCOM.exe software to read or set the parameter on computer. When you connect RF
module to PC by the testing cable, please remember to connect the DB9 as well as USB port to computer
or you use a USB to serial port Converter for Pcs without in built serial port. Also frequency points at
433MHz of 1-8 channels can be user configured as well.








STEP 4
After configurations, KLYxxx modules can now be interfaced directly to your Microcontroller (No need
for Max232) because from the datasheet its output is TTL compatible.

The Function-indicator light
a. The red and green LED indicator turns on for 500mS when power on.
b. The red LED indicator is always on when transmitting data. It is off when finishing data transmitting.

c. The green LED indicator is always on when receiving data. It is off when finishing data receiving

Sleep function instruction:
In order to save power, KYL-500L transceivers support Sleep function. In sleep mode, the current
consumption is less than 1uA.

a. How to use the Sleep function:
The Pin7 SLP in JP1 is the signal of sleep control. At high power level, transceiver stays in working
mode. At low power level (<0.5V), transceiver stays in sleep mode. The SLP signal can convert transceiver
from working to sleep mode in 1ms after falling edge. If the Sleep signal arrives when the transceiver is
transmitting data, the module will enter sleep mode after finishing transmission.
From sleep mode to working, it takes the transceiver 1ms after rising edge. To disable the opened sleep
function of KYL-500L, the SLP (SLEEP) pin should be definitely connected with 0 or ground.

b. Attentions about the use of sleep function:
When the sleep function enabled, any supply glitches, such as switch dithering, fire striking or quick
switching on and off may cause the transceiver moving to wrong sleep mode. Users can avoid this error
by making a compulsive restoration once the CPU delays 100ms after switching on.

7. Standard package
(a). One KYL-500S, KYL-200x, KYL-300x RF modules
(b). One 6-pin ribbon cable
(c). One coil antenna
