USER MANUAL TCM 300 / TCM 300C / TCM 300U TCM 320 / TCM 320C / TCM 320U Mode selection The operating mode is defined at start-up of the module via a measurement of the voltage at ADIO0. As long as IDs are stored in ID memory, the operating mode can only be changed after deleting all IDs from memory, e.g.
TCM 320 / TCM 320C / TCM 320U Repeater configuration TCM 3x0 provides the option to activate a one or two-level repeater for EnOcean radio tele- grams. 1-level repeater: If a received telegram is a valid and original (not yet repeated), the tele- gram is repeated after a random delay.
Or activate the sensor radio transmitter (1BS, 4BS) least once with active LRN bit (DI_3=0, please refer to “Standardization EnOcean Communication Profiles”). If the same transmitter is operated again after more than 4 seconds with active LRN bit it will be deleted again.
USER MANUAL TCM 300 / TCM 300C / TCM 300U TCM 320 / TCM 320C / TCM 320U Please note that in modes 2, 3, and 4 only RPS or HRC telegrams can be learned! 3.8.4 Confirmation of correct learning/deletion The output which is toggling every second while in teach-in mode (see above) will stay switched high for 4 seconds to signal that a transmitter has been learned.
TCM 300 / TCM 300C / TCM 300U TCM 320 / TCM 320C / TCM 320U Remote management TCM 3x0 supports the remote management specification which is available from EnOcean upon request. This allows controlling the teach-in procedure via a Remote Config Control device.
Transmit timing The setup of the transmission timing allows avoiding possible collisions with data packages of other EnOcean transmitters as well as disturbances from the environment. With each transmission cycle, 3 identical subtelegrams are transmitted within 40 ms. The transmis- sion of a subtelegram lasts approximately 1.2 ms.
Lead glass or glass with metal coating, steel furniture The distance between EnOcean receivers and other transmitting devices such as com- puters, audio and video equipment that also emit high-frequency signals should be at least 0.5 m A summarized application note to determine the transmission range within buildings is available as download from www.enocean.com.
≤ 20 MHz Important if 10 V/m EMI robustness required for device For 315 MHz / 902.875 MHz modules (TCM 300C / TCM 300U) please note that a full approval is needed if modules are used with antennas other than the specified antennas.
Minimum GND plane: 35 mm x 30 mm Minimum distance space: 10 mm 902.875 MHz Limited modular approval is available. Please contact EnOcean to sign the mandatory lim- ited modular approval user agreement and for MOQ information. Design according to drawing below, connect to RF_WHIP.
Connect matching circuit to RF_50. Use High Q wire wound inductors, e.g. 0603 Murata LQW18A series. Matching circuits values: L1 = 3.9nH; L2 = 33nH, L3 = 12nH. This antenna evaluation board is available upon request for use with EnOcean EDK 350 devel- oper kit.
