Based on the latest Ember EM358x family of single chip ZigBee solutions the new long range modules are footprint compatible with the entire Telegesis ETRX3 family, thus representing a drop-in replacement for all applications where a high link budget is required.
The Telegesis ETRX3 series modules are based on the Silicon Labs ZigBee compliant platform consisting of the single chip family of EM358x SoCs combined with the ZigBee PRO compliant EmberZNet meshing stack.
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by Telegesis (UK) Ltd. may void the user's authority to operate the equipment. When using the ETRX358x-LRS with approved antennae, it is required to prevent end- users from replacing them with non-approved ones.
FCC labelling requirements are met. This includes a clearly visible label on the outside of the finished product specifying the Telegesis FCC identifier (FCC ID: S4GEM358L) as well as the notice above. This exterior label can use wording such as “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: S4GEM358L”...

ETRX358x-LRS and ETRX358xHR-LRS 2.6 The ZigBee Protocol The ZigBee Protocol is a set of standards for wireless connectivity for use between any devices over short to medium distances. The specification was originally ratified in December 2004, paving the way for companies to start making low-power networks a reality. ZigBee uses an IEEE 802.15.4 radio specification running on the 2.4GHz band, plus three additional layers for networking, security and applications.

Hardware Diagram The ETRX358x-LRS and ETRX358x-LRS are based on the Silicon Labs EM358x family of ZigBee SoCs in addition to a frontend module containing a PA, LNA and RF switch in addition to the RF- frontend circuitry.
ETRX358x-LRS and ETRX358xHR-LRS 5 Firmware Description By default, the modules will be pre-loaded with a standalone bootloader which supports over-the- air bootloading as well as serial bootloading of new firmware. In order to enter the standalone bootloader using a hardware trigger pull PA5 to ground and power-cycle or reset the module.
When writing firmware for the ETRX358x-LRS it is important to ensure that pins PB0 and PC5 are correctly configured in order that the RF front-end module can operate correctly. An application note “Writing customised firmware for the ETRX35x-LRS” can be downloaded from the Telegesis website.

ETRX358x-LRS and ETRX358xHR-LRS Please Note: For the relationship between EM358x power settings and module output power please relate to chapter 10.1 of this document. When developing custom firmware the output power settings described in this document relate directly to the EM358x power settings accessible via the Ember stack API.
ETRX358x-LRS and ETRX358xHR-LRS 10.2 Power Settings for Regulatory Compliance Because of the high gain of the frontend module output power of up to 22dBm can be achieved When the antenna gain is included the output power of the EM358x transceivers needs to be reduced for regulatory compliance.

ETRX358x-LRS and ETRX358xHR-LRS 14 Recommended Footprint In order to surface mount an ETRX3 series module, we recommend that you use pads which are 1mm wide and 1.2mm high. Unless using the “HR” variants the “keep-out” zone shown in section 11 must be retained, and it must be ensured that this area is free of copper tracks and/or copper planes/layers.

ETRX358x-LRS and ETRX358xHR-LRS ETRX3 series module in order to avoid ‘shorts’. All ETRX3 series modules use a multilayer PCB containing an inner RF shielding ground plane, therefore there is no need to have an additional copper plane directly under the ETRX3 series module. Figure 11.
ETRX358x-LRS and ETRX358xHR-LRS 14.1 Recommended Placement When placing the module please either locate the antenna in the corner as shown in Figure 12 so that the recommended antenna keepout zone is being followed, or add a no copper zone as indicated in Figure 14.
Since the RF performance of the module with the on board antenna is strongly dependent on the proper location of the module on its carrier board, shows the reference carrier board which was used during testing by Telegesis. Figure 15. Reference Board For best performance it is recommended to locate the antenna towards the corner of the carrier board and to respect the recommended keep-out areas as described in section 11.
