As far as patents or other rights of third parties are concerned, liability is only assumed for modules, not for the described applications, processes and circuits. EnOcean does not assume responsibility for use of modules described and limits its liability to the replacement of modules determined to be defective due to workmanship. Devices or systems containing RF components must meet the essential requirements of the local legal authorities.
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The multifunctional receiver modules RCM 110 and RCM 120 are used to receive and to process telegrams generated and transmitted by EnOcean radio transmitters. These modules can be easily integrated into control and switching units for the implementation of different application-specific system solutions.
1.2 Typical Applications • Building installation • Industrial automation • Consumer Electronics The RCM modules are part of a powerful RF system solution from EnOcean for operation and control applications. Because transmitters self-powered batteries), maintenance-free RF systems can be implemented.

During the receiver is in learn phase the IDs of all arriving transmitter telegrams are stored. All received EnOcean telegrams are outputted at the serial interface in Learn Mode and in Operating Mode. Those with known ID are marked in addition by a dedicated Bit (see H_SEQ at chapter 2.5).
When the receiver is in “Serial Interface” mode, it transfers out data blocks of information from the received RF telegrams. All received EnOcean telegrams are transferred. Telegrams of transmitters learned by the receiver are signed if this procedure is used. The data block format is explained later in this document;...

2.6 Learning Modes Four different learning modes are implemented within the RCM 110 and the RCM 120 modules: 1.) Learning Mode CLR: ID Memory Reset. All learned transmitter IDs are deleted. Learning mode LRN is entered subsequently. CLR mode has to be entered also for changing the receiver operating mode (changed connections pattern at pins CODE_2..0...

Or activate the sensor radio transmitter at least once (triggering is done by a movement within the motion sensor area, illumination of a brightness sensor, etc.). EnOcean sensors in general have a separate pushbutton for easy generation of a triggering signal.
For storing and recalling light scenes, a Scene Selection Control functionality is implemented within the RCM 110 module (scene memory). In addition to six user-defined scenes (memories M0 to M5), the basic control functions “All lights on” and “All lights off” are given. Scene Selection Control works within all RCM 110 operating modes (Rocker Switch 1 channel, Rocker Switch 2 channel, Rocker Switch 4 channel and Dimming).
Positioning and choice of receiver and transmitter antennas are the most important factors in determining system transmission range. The RCM 110 and RCM 120 receiver modules are supplied with a soldered whip antenna as a standard. This antenna enables a very compact receiver unit with good radio reception characteristics.
• Lead glass or glass with metal coating, steel furniture The distance between EnOcean receivers and other transmitting devices such as computers, audio and video equipment that also emit high-frequency signals should be at least 0.5m A summarized application note to determine the transmission range within buildings are available as download from www.enocean.com.
EVA 100 user manual and below in chapter 3.11. 3.8 Time-Out Recommendation concerning RCM 120 Mode 1 (Pushbutton) Radio modules of EnOcean have been developed for highest transmission reliability. Nevertheless it can happen that the radio connection will be disturbed for a short time in cause of physical circumstances and a release telegram of the switching module PTM 100 will not be received.
3.10 FCC/IC Approval Requirements Because of the very low radiated field strength on average, the 868.3 MHz EnOcean radio technology can be approved in the USA and in Canada. In the US approval of receivers is not necessary in general. On a voluntary base an US representative can last out a "Declaration of Conformity"...
4.1 Evaluation Kit EVA 100/105 EVA 100 is an evaluation kit to support the development of applications based on the EnOcean receiver modules RCM 110 and RCM 120. EVA 100 supports a quick evaluation of all receiver operation modes as well as a quite easy setting-up operation of the receiver side when EnOcean transmitter modules (e.g.
