FreeStar Transceiver Module
California Eastern Laboratories (CEL)'s FreeStar Module is a
small, fully-integrated, drop-in RF transmission solution that is
ideal for ZigBee and other low cost, low power IEEE 802.15.4
RF transmission applications. FreeStar incorporates the
MC13202 transceiver IC and MC9S08GT60 microprocessor
from Freescale with a power amplier and an Inverted-F PCB
antenna. It delivers up to 4,000 feet of range and features a
streamlined communications protocol that results in the lowest
power consumption in transmit mode of any Module on the
market. The FreeStar is also FCC and CE Certied, which
eliminates the need for a costly and time-consuming approval
process when incorporated into your design.

The Freestar ZFSM-101-3 Module replaces the ZFSM-101-2 Module. The difference between the two modules is the
replacement of the power amplier. The design was optimized to provide similar output power between the two designs so
that there are no perceived changes by existing customers or designs. The ZFSM-101-3 can use the rmware for the ZFSM-
101-2.
The power shaping restrictions for FCC/IC and ETSI compliance are listed in the table below for reference. The power setting
restrictions must be adhered to.

FreeStar Modules include an integrated PCB trace antenna. The PCB antenna employs an F-Antenna topology that is com-
pact and supports an omni-directional radiation pattern. To maximize antenna efciency, an adequate ground plane must be
provided on the host PCB.
The following will signicantly contribute to antenna performance:
• The position of the module on the host board
• The position of the ground plane on the host board under the module
• Overall design of product enclosure
Poor design affects radiation patterns and can result in reection, diffraction and/or scattering of the transmitted signal.
The following are a few design guidelines to help ensure antenna performance:
• Never place the ground plane or route copper traces directly underneath the antenna portion of the module
• Never place the antenna close to metallic objects
• In the overall design, ensure that wiring and other components are not placed near the antenna
• Do not place the antenna in a metallic or metallized plastic enclosure
• Keep plastic enclosures 1cm or more from the antenna in any direction

Pb-Free Solder Paste
Use of “No Clean” solder paste is strongly recommended, as it does not require cleaning after the soldering process.
Note: The quality of solder joints on the castellations (‘half vias’) where they contact the host board should meet the appropriate IPC
Specication. See the latest IPC-A-610 Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies, Castellated Terminations section.
Cleaning
In general, cleaning the populated modules is strongly discouraged. Residuals under the module cannot be easily removed
with any cleaning process.
• Cleaning with water can lead to capillary effects where water is absorbed into the gap between the host board and
the module. The combination of soldering ux residuals and encapsulated water could lead to short circuits between
neighboring pads. Water could also damage any stickers or labels.
• Cleaning with alcohol or a similar organic solvent will likely ood soldering ux residuals into the two housings, which
is not accessible for post-washing inspection. The solvent could also damage any stickers or labels.
• Ultrasonic cleaning could damage the module permanently.
The best approach is to consider using a “No Clean” solder paste and eliminate the post-soldering cleaning step.
Optical Inspection
After soldering the module to the host board, consider optical inspection to check the following:
• Proper alignment and centering of the module over the pads.
• Proper solder joints on all pads.
• Excessive solder or contacts to neighboring pads or vias.
Repeating Reow Soldering
Only a single reow soldering process is encouraged for host boards.
Wave Soldering
If a wave soldering process is required on the host boards due to the presence of thru hole components, only a single wave
soldering process is encouraged.
FreeStar ZFSM-101-3
Page 13
PROCESSING (Continued)
Hand Soldering
Hand soldering is possible. When using a soldering iron, follow IPC recommendations (reference document IPC-7711).
Rework
The module can be unsoldered from the host board. Use of a hot air rework tool should be programmable and the solder
joint and module should not exceed the maximum peak reow temperature of 250 ºC.
Caution
If temperature ramps exceed the reow temperature prole, module and component damage may occur due to thermal
shock. Avoid overheating.
Warning
Never attempt a rework on the module itself, (e.g., replacing individual components). Such actions will terminate
warranty coverage.
Additional Grounding
Attempts to improve module or system grounding by soldering braids, wires or cables onto the module RF shield cover is
done at the customer's own risk. The numerous ground pins at the module perimeter should be sufcient for optimum
immunity to external RF interference.
QUALITY
CEL modules offer the highest quality at competitive prices. Our modules are manufactured in compliance with the IPC-A-610
specication, Class II. Our modules go through JESD22 qualication processes which includes high temperature operating life
tests, mechanical shock, temperature cycling, humidity and reow testing. CEL modules are 100% factory tested for RF and
DC performance. In addition, every production lot is sample tested for compliance with CEL’s high quality and performance
standards.
CEL builds quality into our products giving our customers the condence when integrating our products into their systems.
SHIPMENT, HANDLING AND STORAGE
Shipment
The modules are delivered in trays of 50.
Handling
The modules are designed and packaged to be processed in an automated assembly line.
Warning
The modules contain highly sensitive electronic circuitry. Handling without proper ESD protection may destroy or damage
the module permanently.
Warning
The modules are moisture-sensitive devices. Appropriate handling instructions and precautions are summarized in J-STD-033.
Read carefully to prevent permanent damage due to moisture intake.
Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL)

label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: TFB-FREESTAR3” or “Contains FCC ID:
TFB-FREESTAR3”
The OEM of the FreeStar Module must only use the approved antenna, that has been certied with this module. The OEM
of the FreeStar Module must test their nal product conguration to comply with Unintentional Radiator Limits before declaring
FCC compliance per Part 15 of the FCC rules.
