3.2 Signal Input

  1. Connect the signal source to the RF IN interface on the module using the provided signal cable.
  2. The module will automatically display the measured frequency on its 0.96-inch OLED screen.

3.3 Controls and Adjustments

The module features two buttons (K1, K2) and several adjustment points on the PCB:

  • K1 Button: Used for powering on the module (press and hold).
  • K2 Button: Functions as an adjustment key.
  • Sensitivity Adjustment: A potentiometer on the PCB allows for fine-tuning the input signal sensitivity.
  • Frequency Fine-tuning: Another potentiometer for precise frequency calibration.
  • J1 Jumper: Short-circuiting J1 can enable or disable the power supply electronic switch.

3.4 Data Output

The module provides measurement data output via a UART serial port, facilitating secondary development and integration into other systems.

3.5 Settings Persistence

All settings configured on the module are automatically saved to the EEPROM. This means that the settings will be retained even after the module is powered off and can be directly accessed upon subsequent startups without needing to be reset.

5. Maintenance and Precautions

To ensure the longevity and accurate performance of your frequency display module, please observe the following:

  • Avoid exposing the instrument to high temperatures, humidity, or dusty environments.
  • Prevent severe vibration or physical shock to the module.
  • The clock reference was calibrated using GPSDO and sensitivity optimized during factory calibration. Do not adjust these settings yourself unless absolutely necessary and you possess the appropriate calibration equipment.
  • The onboard signal input connector is a fragile component. Handle it gently when inserting or removing plugs to prevent damage.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your PLJ-096OLED-L1 module, consider the following:

  • No Display: Ensure the power supply is within the recommended DC 4.5-9V range and correctly connected. Check if the K1 button was pressed and held sufficiently to power on.
  • Inaccurate Readings: Verify that the signal input is within the 1KHz-100MHz measurement range. Check the signal cable for proper connection and integrity. Avoid adjusting factory-calibrated settings unless you have professional equipment.
  • Intermittent Readings: Inspect all connections, especially the signal input connector, for looseness or damage. Ensure the operating environment is free from excessive dust, humidity, or vibration.
  • Settings Not Saved: The module automatically saves settings to EEPROM. If settings are not persisting, ensure the module is powered off correctly (if applicable) or check for any unusual power fluctuations.

7. User Tips

  • For optimal performance, use a stable 5V DC power supply.
  • When integrating into custom projects, utilize the UART serial output for real-time data acquisition and secondary development.
  • Consider shielding the module if operating in environments with significant electromagnetic interference to maintain measurement accuracy.
  • Always handle the module by its edges to avoid touching sensitive components or the OLED display.

8. Warranty and Support

For warranty information, technical support, or further inquiries, please contact the seller or manufacturer directly. Keep your purchase receipt for any warranty claims.
