Opticon EE200 Specifications Manual 5 1. Abstract This manual provides specifications for the EE200 electronic shelf label (hereafter referred to as “ESL”). 2. Overview The EE200 is an E-ink based ESL with a 2.4GHz radio for data communication. This product uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum RF technology that allows for an ultra-low power consumption combined with a reduced sensitivity to background noise. That means less interference by other radios that operate in the 2.4GHz band. The radio protocol that is used is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard that specifies the physical layer and media access control for low-rate wireless personal area networks. The protocol is entirely implemented, except for some small changes that have all to do with the connection protocol to a base station. When the base station is not available the EE200 switches to a non-802.15.4 standard to lower the power. That is especially meaningful when the EE200 is not being used for a prolonged period of time (e.g. during shipping) A development kit is available that consists out of a base station and several EE200 tags plus a PC demo application that allows people to quickly test the system and makes it easier to integrate this ESL system into an existing back office system.

There will be no sign of decreased performance after the following drop test: Drop the ESL from 0.5 M above the concrete floor (6 sides, 3 times each). Scratches or discoloration of the casing do not decrease product performance. 4.5. Dust and Drip Proof Not rated

Controls Items Specifications Remarks CPU Type 8051 core 8-bit MCU Internal flash ROM 96KB Internal RAM 6 KB Clock frequency 32 MHz LCD Active area W 45.8 x H 22.0 mm Number of dots W 200 x H 96 Dot pitch 111 Horizontal 111 Vertical Dots per Inch Radio Modulation DSSS Frequency 2394 ~ 2507 MHz Globally approved 2.4GHz band. Baud rate 250 Kbits / second 6. Electrical Specifications 6.1. Electrical Characteristics Conditions: Operating voltage 3.0V unless otherwise specified Parameter Typ Unit Remarks Operating voltage 2.0–3.3 V Lithium primary battery Sleep current <1 uA When the transmitter and receiver are idle Poll time 20 seconds See below The ESL is in sleep mode almost the entire time. The device wakes up at regular intervals (called the poll time) and it then transmits a poll request to the base station. When the base station has no data to send, it just acknowledges the poll after which the ESL immediately goes back to sleep. The poll rate is configurable and is set to 20 seconds by default. A higher poll rate will decrease the power consumption but will increase the response time. 6.2. Battery The power is supplied to the ESL by two coin shaped Lithium CR2450 batteries:  Nominal capacity: 1200 mAh (two times 600mAh)  Nominal voltage: 3.0 V.  Maximum self-discharge rate: <1% per year  Usable time: 7 years minimum (Update frequency: 4 times per day, poll time 20seconds)

Radio Specifications Parameter Min Typ Max Unit Remarks Receiver sensitivity -97 -89 dBm Over the entire temp. and operating voltage range Nominal output power -3 4.5 7 dBm Frequency 2394 2507 MHz Over the entire temp. and operating voltage range Transfer rate 250Kbit/s RSSI range 100 dB Signal strength indication that can be reported to the base station 7.1. Protocol Modified 802.15.4 (Physical layer and Media Access Control layer). 7.1.1. The physical layer The physical layer (PHY) provides the data transmission service, as well as the interface to the physical layer management entity, which offers access to every layer management function and maintains a database of information on related personal area networks. Thus, the PHY manages the physical RF transceiver and performs channel selection and energy and signal management functions. It operates on the above mentioned frequency band. The PHY layer is 100% compliant and is based on direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technique with a transfer rate of 250 kbit/s. 7.1.2. The medium access control layer The medium access control (MAC) layer enables the transmission of MAC frames through the use of the physical channel. Besides the data service, it offers a management interface and itself manages access to the physical channel. It also controls frame validation, guarantees time slots and handles node associations. Finally, it offers hook points for secure services. The EE200 does not make use of the optional network beaconing, instead it used a polling mechanism to increase power efficiency. Some changes are made to the standard to allow for more efficient data frames and better power efficiency, especially when nodes are not connected to a base station. 7.2. Security The 802.15.4 standard 128-bit AES encryption is supported. A secure method for key management is implemented as well. The encryption is optional though and can be configured via the base station. By default the radio traffic is unencrypted.
Opticon EE200 Specifications Manual 8. Labeling 8.1. Product label The product label is affixed to the ESL as shown below. There are two barcodes on the label: The serial number on the top and the device’s MAC address below. The serial number barcode simply shows the 8-digit serial number that allows for a 100 million range of numbers. The MAC address barcode is shown below the serial number code; the MAC’s factory code is not shown to save some space. Instead it is replaced by a character that defines the factory code. For now only the ‘A’ is defined and stands for “00124B”. Future versions might get another character. The ‘A’ is followed by 10 hexadecimal digits. The complete MAC address on the label should match the address that is defined by the radio chip manufacturer so during production of the ESL, the MAC address has to be obtained and then printed on the label. Barcode symbology is code 39. Material: Base + laminate protection against wear. Base: PP film, thickness 80µm, backing with glue. Laminate: PET film, clear, thickness 50µm. The dimensions of the product label are as follows: Figure 2: product label Figure 3: product label dimensions
Opticon EE200 Specifications Manual 8.2. Shipment box labels The shipment box labels are made from plain paper and are meant to show the regulatory information on the shipment box as well as the quantity and the serial numbers for the ESL’s in the box. The label designs are shown below: The size of both labels is 104mm (width) x 172mm (height) Label A Label B Figure 4: shipment box labels
Opticon EE200 Specifications Manual 9. Accessories The EE200 can be fitted with a clip that allows for easy assembly to a shelf. Several types are available so contact your nearest Opticon dealer for more information on this. . 10. Packaging Specifications 10.1. Individual Packaging Specification The ESL’s do not need to be packed separately. To easily pack them, 25 pcs need to be packed in a plastic molder tray: Figure 5: Individual packaging
