PRELIMINARY
Issue 1, 1 September 2009
Multi channel UHF FM Class 1 Social Alarm Receiver
The SAR3 is a miniature PCB mounting UHF
radio data receiver. It is a narrowband 25KHz
spacing receiver incorporating a received
signal strength indicator (RSSI) and 4 channel
capability. It allows the simple implementation
of data links at speeds up to 8kbps.
Figure 1: SAR3-869-8
Available for operation in European 868MHz band, the SAR3 combines full screening with internal filtering to
ensure EMC compliance by minimising spurious radiation and susceptibility. The module suits one-to-one
and multi-node wireless links in applications including automatic meter reading (AMR), car and building
security, Social alarms, EPOS and inventory tracking and remote industrial process monitoring.
