PTM 210 / PTM 210C
1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The radio transmitter device PTM 210 / PTM 210C from EnOcean enables the implementa-
tion of wireless remote controls without batteries. Power is provided by a built-in electro-
dynamic power generator. The PTM 210 / PTM 210C device serves the 868 MHz / 315 MHz
air interface protocol of EnOcean.
Electro-dynamic powered radio transmitter device PTM 210
1.1 Basic Functionality
A common electro-dynamic energy transducer is actuated by a bow (1), which can be
pushed from outside the device by an appropriate push button or switch rocker. When the
energy bow is pushed down, electrical energy is created and an RF telegram is transmitted
including a 32-bit device ID. Releasing the energy bow generates different telegram data,
so every PTM telegram contains the information that the bow was pressed or released.
“Long” or “Short” push button operation (the time between pushing and releasing the
pushbutton) can be easily detected by the receiver. By doing that, applications such as
dimming control or blinds control including slat action are simple to implement.
In addition, the PTM telegram transmits the operating status of the contact nipples (2)
when pressing the bow. This enables the identification of up to 2 appropriate switch rockers
or up to 4 pushbuttons.

Processor

2.2 Contact Nipples Designation
With 4 contact nipples, the PTM 210 offers 2 channels with 4 action states each (up-
per/lower nipple is pressed/released when activating the energy bow). The nipples’ desig-
nation is as follows:
Contact nipple designation
Radio signals of the PTM 210 device are event-controlled (energy bow is pressed/released)
with contact nipple code (channel/state) and unique device identification (fixed 32-bit ID).
When operating more than one nipple at the same time, note that PTM 210 sends multiple-
button code combinations:
N-message: One or two contact nipples have been pressed when activating the energy
generator Æ Message with nipple code and pressed/released event status of the energy
bow is sent.
U-message: No contact nipple was pressed when activating the energy generator, or 3
or 4 nipples have been pressed Æ Message with pressed/released event status of the
energy bow is sent and the information if either none or more than two nipples have
been pressed. Note that it can’t be differentiated if 3 or if 4 nipples have been pressed.
Due to the mechanical hysteresis of the energy bow, in most rocker switch device
implementations, pressing the rocker sends an N-message and releasing the
rocker sends a U-message!

2.3 Transmission timing
The transmission timing of the radio device PTM 210C has been developed to avoid possible
collisions with data packages of other EnOcean transmitters as well as disturbances from
the environment.
With each transmission cycle, at least three identical subtelegrams are transmitted. The
transmission of a subtelegram lasts approximately 0.7 ms. To optimize data security, each
telegram is repeated twice within about 40 ms, whereas the delay between the second and
the third transmission burst is effected at random.
If some residual energy is available after transmission of three subtelegrams, up to 2 fur-
ther subtelegrams are sent (PTM 210C only).

3.1 Laying the antenna (PTM 210C only)
For best performance the antenna cable should be layed as shown in the figure below.
Laying the 315 MHz whip antenna
The distance between antenna foot point and antenna end must be > 25 mm
The antenna area should be maximized
The antenna should be placed at the same height above the ground plane as
the rotation axis for the switch rocker (see example below)

Example of a well suited antenna
3.2 Construction of application specific Switch Rockers
For CAD system development support, 3D construction data is available from EnOcean (IGS
data). Using this data, the mechanical interface is fixed, and the shape and surface of the
rocker(s) can be changed according to requirements. Recommendation for suitable rocker
material is polycarbonate (buckling resistant and wear-proof material). It is recommended
to apply teflon varnish in the areas of actuation.
Please note that the rockers should be of nonmetal for best transmission range!
Please also avoid plastic materials with conducting ingredients like graphite!
3.3 Device Mounting
For mounting the PTM 210 device into an application specific case, the package outline
drawings of the device are roughly dimensioned in chapter 1.4. If more detailed dimension-
ing data device case is necessary, 3D construction data is available from EnOcean (IGS
data).
Mounting the module back side on metal surfaces directly or mounting the module
into metal frames can lead to up to typical 30% loss of transmission range within
a building.

3.4 Transmission Range
The main factors that influence the system transmission range are type and location of the
antennas of the receiver and the transmitter, type of terrain and degree of obstruction of
the link path, sources of interference affecting the receiver, and “dead” spots caused by
signal reflections from nearby conductive objects. Since the expected transmission range
strongly depends on this system conditions, range tests should categorically be performed
before notification of a particular range that will be attainable by a certain application.
The following figures for expected transmission range are considered by using a PTM, a
STM or a TCM radio transmitter device and the TCM radio receiver device with preinstalled
whip antenna and may be used as a rough guide only:
Line-of-sight connections: Typically 30 m range in corridors, up to 100 m in halls
Plasterboard walls / dry wood: Typically 30 m range, through max. 5 walls
Line-of-sight connections: Typically 30 m range in corridors, up to 100 m in halls
Ferro concrete walls / ceilings: Typically 10 m range, through max. 1 ceiling
Fire-safety walls, elevator shafts, staircases and supply areas should be considered as
screening.
The angle at which the transmitted signal hits the wall is very important. The effective wall
thickness – and with it the signal attenuation – varies according to this angle. Signals
should be transmitted as directly as possible through the wall. Wall niches should be
avoided. Other factors restricting transmission range:
Switch mounted on metal surfaces (up to 30% loss of transmission range)
Hollow lightweight walls filled with insulating wool on metal foil
False ceilings with panels of metal or carbon fibre
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.

4 AGENCY APPROVALS
4.1 CE Approval (PTM 210 only)
The devices bear the EC conformity marking CE and conform to the R&TTE EU-directive on
radio equipment. The assembly conforms to the European and national requirements of
electromagnetic compatibility. The conformity has been proven and the corresponding
documentation has been deposited at EnOcean. The PTM devices can be operated without
notification and free of charge in the area of the European Union, and in Switzerland. The
following provisos apply:
EnOcean RF devices must not be modified or used outside their specification limits.
EnOcean RF devices may only be used to transfer digital or digitized data. Analog speech
and/or music are not permitted.
The final product incorporating EnOcean RF devices must itself meet the essential re-
quirement of the R&TTE Directive and a CE marking must be affixed on the final product
and on the sales packaging each. Operating instructions containing a Declaration of Con-
