KH3 Series Basic Evaluation Kit User s Guide Warning: Some customers may want Linx radio frequency (RF) Table of Contents products to control machinery or devices remotely, including machinery or devices that can cause death, bodily injuries, and/or property 1 Introduction damage if improperly or inadvertently triggered, particularly in industrial settings or other applications implicating life-safety concerns (Life and 2 Ordering Information Property Safety Situations). 2 KH3 Series Transmitter / Encoder Evaluation Board 3 KH3 Series Receiver / Decoder Evaluation Board NO OEM LINX REMOTE CONTROL OR FUNCTION MODULE SHOULD EVER BE USED IN LIFE AND PROPERTY SAFETY 4 Theory of Operation SITUATIONS. No OEM Linx Remote Control or Function Module 5 Using the Kit should be modified for Life and Property Safety Situations. Such modification cannot provide sufficient safety and will void the products 5 Setting the Address regulatory certification and warranty. 6 Development Using the Prototyping Area Customers may use our (non-Function) Modules, Antenna and 7 Range Testing Connectors as part of other systems in Life Safety Situations, but 8 Using the Boards as a Design Reference only with necessary and industry appropriate redundancies and 9 About Antennas in compliance with applicable safety standards, including without limitation, ANSI and NFPA standards. It is solely the responsibility 9 In Closing of any Linx customer who uses one or more of these products to 10 KH3 Series Transmitter Evaluation Board Schematic incorporate appropriate redundancies and safety standards for the Life and Property Safety Situation application. 11 KH3 Series Decoder Evaluation Board Schematic Do not use this or any Linx product to trigger an action directly from the data line or RSSI lines without a protocol or encoder/ decoder to validate the data. Without validation, any signal from another unrelated transmitter in the environment received by the module could inadvertently trigger the action. All RF products are susceptible to RF interference that can prevent communication. RF products without frequency agility or hopping implemented are more subject to interference. This module does not have a frequency hopping protocol built in. Do not use any Linx product over the limits in this data guide. Excessive voltage or extended operation at the maximum voltage could cause product failure. Exceeding the reflow temperature profile could cause product failure which is not immediately evident. Do not make any physical or electrical modifications to any Linx product. This will void the warranty and regulatory and UL certifications and may cause product failure which is not immediately evident.
