1. Overview ​

Y211-L is an industrial serial-to-LoRa converter built for long-range wireless replacement of wired serial links. It operates in the 410 to 493 MHz band and supports point-to-point and multi-node networking, including broadcast, fixed-point, master-slave, and relay modes. With up to 30 dBm transmit power and multiple serial interface options, it is designed for stable data backhaul in noisy or hard-to-wire industrial environments.

It is well suited for utility metering, pump stations, agriculture, environmental monitoring, factory retrofits, and other deployments where RS485, RS232, or TTL devices must communicate over long distance without cellular service.

6. Mechanical and Installation ​

ParameterSpecification
Dimensions71.5 x 48.6 x 23.7 mm
MountingSide-tab mounting or cabinet internal fixing, depending on project structure

Installation recommendations:

  • Add proper upstream protection on the power input, such as fuse and surge suppression.
  • Keep the antenna away from high-current wiring to avoid near-field interference.
  • Keep serial cables short and make sure the ground reference is consistent.
  • In outdoor or high-interference environments, use shielding and reliable grounding.

7. Application Notes ​

  • Broadcast transparent transmission: Build point-to-point or point-to-multipoint LoRa links quickly when both ends share the same frequency and speed settings.
  • Fixed-point communication: Use target address and channel for directional forwarding in multi-node networks.
  • Master-slave communication: The master sends framed data and the slave can return data transparently, with retransmission support.
  • Relay networking: Use relay enable, group ID, and routing rules for multi-hop forwarding and longer coverage.

For AT commands, communication mode details, and configuration examples, see the Y211-L Technical Manual.
