Below in examples connection between 433MHz RF Transceiver. This is a transceiver

(Transmitter and Receiver) module, so user need 1 pair of this module for wireless
communication. This wireless module cannot intercommunicate with the 100M meters
version (

) as the frequency is not the same, not to forget, it is not
compatiblewiththelowcostRFtransmitterandreceivertoo.

Wirelesspointtopointcommunicationbetweentwodevice
When the device on the left of the above figure sends UART data to module, and the RXD
pin of the left module receives the UART data, it will automatically sends the data over the
air by means of radio wave. The right module will automatically receives the data, restores
andsenditoutviaitsTXDpin,tothedeviceonright.Itisthesamefromrighttoleft.
This module has three serial port transparent transmission modes, expressed with FU1, FU2
and FU3 respectively. In the use, all modes are only responsible for receiving and sending
UART data rather than wireless transmission. The default working mode of the module is
FU3 full speed mode, and in this mode,thebaud rate intheaircanbeautomaticallyadjusted
according to baud rate of serial port, and the communication distance will be the farthest at
the lowest baud rate. Different modes cannot transmit data to each other, and user could
selecttheoptimalmodeaccordingtopracticalcircumstances.
The modules are usually used in pairs, and transmit data by means of half duplex.
Meanwhile, the transparent transmission mode, serial port baud rate, and wireless
communication channeloftwopairedmodulesshallbesettobethesame.Thedefaultsetting
isFU3,9600bps(8bitdata,noparitycheck,onestopbit).
It allow unlimited numbers of byte to be sent continuously on serial port of module at one

6.2ThreeSerialPortTransparenttransmissionmodes
The default serial port transparent transmission mode is FU3. The module is in full speed
state, and the idle current is about 16mA. In this mode, the module can automatically adjust
the baud rate of wireless transmission in the air according to hardware serial port baud rate,
andthecorrespondingrelationshipisasshowninthetablebelow

To get the farthest communication distance,theserialportbaudratecanbesettobelow.For

shorttime transmission of mass data, set the serial port baud rate to be high, but the
communicationdistancewillbereducedaccordingly.
The receiving sensitivity of module at different baud rates in the air is shown in the table
below:

Generally, every time the receiving sensitivity is reduced by 6dB, the communication
distancewillbereducedbyhalf.
When SET pin of module is at low level,theserialporttransparenttransmissionmodecan

besetthroughATcommand.
FU1 mode is relatively power saving mode, and the idle working current of this mode is
about 3.6mA. In this mode, the module can also set eight types of serial port baud rate as
shownintheabovetable,butthebaudrateintheairisuniform,250000bps.
FU2 modeispowersavingmode,andtheidleworkingcurrentofthismodeisabout80uA.In
this mode, the module only supports baud rate of 1200bps, 2400bps and 4800bps and the
baud rate in the air is uniform 250000bps. If the module is set to be other serial port baud
rate,themodulecannotperformcommunicationnormally.
Meanwhile, when the module is set to be FU2 mode from FU1 or FU3 mode, the baud rate
exceeding 4800bps will be automatically reduced to be 4800bps. In FU2 mode, the sending
time interval of data package cannot be too short otherwise, the data will be lost. It is
suggestedthatthesendingtimeintervalofdatapackageshouldnotbelessthan1sec.
