RV-Z50-E Quick Start

 

 

6

 

 

The primary connector is fully pin-for-pin compatible with M8 UHF, VHF, 220MHZ modems, and V50 ISM 
band radio modems. 

By default, the serial port is set to 38400 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity bit. 

5.1.3

 

Connecting to Power 

The Z50 is available with two DC power input options.  The -3A version is designed to run off of 5V DC 
input.  The -3B version has an internal high-efficiency DC-DC converter allowing the unit to be powered 
from 7-30 volts DC. Pin 19 must be connected to the ground or negative power supply signal. Pin 2 is the 
positive DC input voltage.  

5.1.4

 

RF Antenna Connection 

The RF Antenna Connection on the Z50 is an MMCX female.  A typical mating 
connector, MMCX male, is a RMX-9010-1B from RF Industries.   

A suitable antenna must work on the frequency bands that your cellular carrier 
is using. The Z50 can operate on any of these UMTS bands: B1, B2, B5, B6, B8, or 
B19.  The antenna used with the Z50 must be designed to operate on all of the bands that the carrier 
you are using will utilize.  To comply with FCC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and 
human exposure to RF radiation, the maximum antenna gain including cable loss  
If the antenna is within 1 meter of a human, must not exceed: 



6.43 dBi in the cellular band 



3.0 dBi in the PCS band 

5.1.5

 

GPS Antenna Connection 

If installed, the GPS Antenna Connection is a U.FL female (sometimes known as IPEX) 

 

 

 

 

Common Carriers use these types of wireless technology and frequency bands: 

T-Mobile (3G 

WCDMA)

 

Bands B2  

For AT&T 

Bands B2, B5
