The ethernet interface is decoupled with capacitors. Ethernet cable should be twisted to reduce EMI noise. Shorter cables are recommended for increased performance and higher bandwidth of the interface.

  • LINK LED - Link activity

  • CPU LED - CPU activity

  • PWR LED - Power enabled

  • RSSI LEDs - Received signal strength indication

RSSI LEDs status:

  • Blinking in turn: searching for pair

  • Blinking all at once: RF disabled

  • Solid: RF connection established, pair found

Top side

The top side has an enclosure-integrated heatsink.

AIRLink telemetry module is designed to work standalone (no cooling fan) without overheating at maximum output power with ambient temperatures of up to 50° C.

In case there is a chance of overheating in your application - the module has 4x M3 mounting holes for the cooling fan.

Bottom side

Ground Module

Top

The top side has an a heatsink and mounting holes for an optional fan. It's important to have a clear space to allow for airflow circulation in front of this side.
