1. Introduction
1.1. Brief Introduction
E32-DTU(433L20)-V8 is a wireless data transceiver of 433M with standard RS232/RS485 connectors. They are
half-duplex. TX & RX modems with LoRa technology and transparent transmission mode. Voltage supply ranges from
8V to 28V, Working frequency: 410~441MHz (Default:433MHz).
The LoRa direct sequence spread spectrum technology enables the longer communication distance and better power
density concentration as well as superior anti-interference ability. The FEC algorism enables higher coding efficiency and
correction ability. The interfered data packets will be corrected proactively upon sudden interference, which significantly
improves reliability and communication distance. Without FEC, the interfered data packet will be dropped. The
transceivers feature data encryption and compression. The data transmitted in air features randomness, the rigorous
algorism makes data interception meaningless. The data compression function has possibility to reduce the data
transmission time, which in turn reduces the possibility of being interfered, thus improves the reliability and
communication efficiency.
1.2. Features

 Ultra-low power consumption, standby current is only 28mA (even lower under power-saving and sleep modes), TX
current ≤0.2A .
 Embedded watch-dog and precise time layout, modem will restart automatically upon abnormal situation and work
with previous parameters.
 All the core components are imported originally , compared with the current imports of digital transceiver , we
are the most advanced, most cost effective and the smallest one.

Wireless communication rate, also called air baud rate. The air rate is high, the data transmission
Air data rate speed is fast, and the time delay for transmitting the same data is small, but the transmission distance
will be shortened.
The working frequency of the DTU, each channel corresponds to its different working frequency, in
Frequency theory, different frequency channels cannot communicate with each other. If there are multiple groups
channel of wireless data transmission stations in the same area, it is recommended that the communication
frequency be separated by 2~5MHz.
The output power is the power radiated to the outside. In order to ensure the working efficiency, it is
TX power recommended to use the maximum power. If the transmit power is reduced, the communication
distance will be shortened, and the current consumed will be reduced.
The internal address of the DTU has nothing to do with the Modbus address. Only DTU with the
DTU address same radio address can communicate with each other. This feature can be used to realize software
filtering and grouping. Input range: 0～65535, decimal number.
TX method Transparent transmission；Fixed point: send data to fixed point in Hex format
It is not directly related to the communication delay. If customers need low-power applications, they
Wake-up time need to adjust this option as required. In the power saving mode, the longer the wake-up time, the
lower the power consumption of the receiver, and the greater the communication delay.

11. Precautions for Use

1. Please take good care of the warranty card of the device. The warranty card contains the factory number (and important
technical parameters) of the device, which has important reference value for the user's future maintenance and new equipment.
2. During the warranty period, if the DTU is damaged due to the quality of the product itself rather than man-made damage or
natural disasters such as lightning strikes, it enjoys free warranty; please do not repair by yourself, and contact our company if
there is a problem. Ebyte provides first-class After-sales service.
3. Do not operate this DTU in the vicinity of some flammable places (such as coal mines) or explosive dangerous objects (such
as detonators for detonation).
4. A suitable DC stabilized power supply should be selected, which requires strong anti-high frequency interference, small ripple,
and sufficient load capacity; preferably, it should also have over-current, over-voltage protection and lightning protection
functions to ensure that the DTU is normal jobs.
5. Do not use it in a working environment that exceeds the environmental characteristics of the DTU, such as high temperature,
humidity, low temperature, strong electromagnetic field or dusty environment.
6. Don't let the DTU continuously be in full load transmitting state, otherwise the transmitter may be burnt out.
7. The ground wire of the DTU should be well connected with the ground wire of the external equipment (such as PC, PLC, etc.)
and the ground wire of the power supply, otherwise the communication interface will be burnt easily; do not plug or unplug the
serial port with power on.
8. When testing a DTU, you must connect a matching antenna or a 50Ω dummy load, otherwise the transmitter will be easily
damaged; if the antenna is connected, the distance between the human body and the antenna should be more than 2 meters to
avoid injury. Touch the antenna when transmitting.
9. Wireless data transmission stations often have different communication distances in different environments. The
communication distance is often affected by temperature, humidity, obstacle density, obstacle volume, and electromagnetic
environment; in order to ensure stable communication, it is recommended to reserve more than 50% The communication
distance margin.
10. If the measured communication distance is not ideal, it is recommended to analyze and improve the communication distance
from the antenna quality and antenna installation method. You can also contact [email protected] for help.
11. When selecting the power supply, in addition to keeping 50% of the current margin as recommended, it should also be noted
that its ripple must not exceed 100mV.
12. Wireless communication products need to be connected to an impedance-matched antenna to work normally. Even short-term
tests cannot be omitted. Product damage caused by this reason will not be covered by the warranty.
