USER MANUAL TCM 300/ TCM 320 (868 MHz), TCM 300U / TCM 320U (902 MHz) Transceiver Module 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 300U / TCM 320U (902 MHz) Transceiver Module 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.
USER MANUAL TCM 300/ TCM 320 (868 MHz), TCM 300U / TCM 320U (902 MHz) Transceiver Module Suggested reset and programming input circuitry In order to ensure reliable operation it is recommended to connect both the reset and the programming input with a 10 kΩ resistor in parallel with a 10 nF capacitor to ground. This avoids spurious signal detection in very noisy environments and in situations where an ex- ternal programming header is provided.
USER MANUAL TCM 300/ TCM 320 (868 MHz), TCM 300U / TCM 320U (902 MHz) Transceiver Module 3.9.2 Confirmation of Learning Mode Mode Confirmation No Learn capability LMI HIGH continuously, LRN_TOGGLE toggling every 1 s. LMI HIGH continuously, CHANNEL0 toggling every 1 s.
After this, the receiver enters Learning Mode. 3.10 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. 3.10.1 Remote Management Control Commands (RMCC) All RMCCs supported.
The setup of the transmission timing allows avoiding possible collisions with data packages of other EnOcean transmitters as well as disturbances from the environment. Standard EnOcean telegrams consist of up to 3 identical sub-telegrams which are transmitted within 40ms. The transmission of an average sub-telegram lasts approximately 1.2ms. The delay be- tween the three transmission bursts is affected at random.
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.
