EE-290 V-0.4 1 Abstract This manual provides specifications for the EE-290 Electronic Shelf Label (hereafter referred to as “ESL”). 2 Overview The EE-290 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 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. A development kit is available that consists out of a base station, several ESL tags and PC software that allows people to quickly test the system and makes it easier to integrate this ESL system into an existing back office system. 3 Physical Features 3.1 Dimensions W 87.7 mm x H 42.8 mm x D 15 mm Figure 1: Dimensions 3.2 Weight 47.8 g (including batteries) 6

EE-290 V-0.4 7 Electrical Specifications 7.1 Electrical Characteristics Conditions: Operating voltage 3.0V unless otherwise specified 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 acknowledges the poll after which the ESL immediately goes back to sleep. The minimum 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. 7.2 Battery The power is supplied to the ESL by 2 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 20 seconds) The operating time of the batteries is based on any of the following factors that influence the battery life: Factor Default values and estimated averages Correlation * (Higher is better) Influence Polling for data & reporting settings Interval: 20 seconds Retransmissions: 10% Report ratio: 1 to 39 Yes No Yes 61% Display updates 4 updates per day Temperature: 15-25° C No No 20% Out of range / base station OFF % Not connected: 2% Number of channels: 5 No No 4% Sleep time 99,9% Yes 9% Battery self-discharge 1 % / year No 6% * The correlation shows whether increasing the listed value increases or decreases the power consumption of the ESLs. For example: • Increasing the poll interval lowers the power consumption • Turning off the base stations increases the power consumption • A lower operating temperature increases the power consumption • More display updates per day increase the power consumption Parameter Typ Unit Remarks Operating voltage 2.3-3.3 V Lithium primary battery Sleep current 2-5 µA When the transmitter and receiver are idle Poll time >= 20 seconds See below 9
EE-290 V-0.4 Battery replacement SOP: 1. Remove the front cover 2. Slide out the 2pcs CR2450 batteries 3. Insert new 2pcs CR2450 batteries 4. Add the front cover. 8 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 2405 2480 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 8.1 Protocol Modified 802.15.4 (Physical layer and Media Access Control layer). 8.1.1 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. 8.1.2 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 EE-202 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. 8.2 Security By default only the image transmission is encrypted using a proprietary encryption protocol. Enhanced encryption/authentication can be requested on demand by loading different firmware on the ESLs in combination with the loading of an encryption key and an additional ESL server module. The protection method for RF-communication is done by 128-bit AES encryption. 10
EE-290 V-0.4 9 Labeling 9.1 Product Label The product label is affixed to the ESL as shown below. Figure 2: Product Label Label material: Material: Base + laminate protection against wear. Base: PP film, thickness 80µm, backing with glue. Laminate: PET film, clear, thickness 25µm. RoHS compliant Label dimension: 46mm x 9.9mm (w x h) Tolerance ± 0.1mm Corner radius 3mm Barcode area: The size of the barcode area (without the human readable part) is 3x38mm). The barcode shows the product serial number. This is a ‘B’ followed by 10 hexadecimal digits. This serial number is the same as the MAC address in the ESL-label, with the first 6 digits (‘3889DC’) replaced by a ‘B’. Figure 3: Product Label dimensions 11
EE-290 V-0.4 9.2 Shipment Box Labels The shipment box labels are meant to show the regulatory information on the shipment box as well as the quantity in the box. The labels are 150mm*95mm and are made from plain paper with adhesive backing. Figure 4: Shipment box label Label A shows the PO number, the Quantity in the box and the serial number range, all encoded in barcodes as shown. In case there are two or less missing serial numbers, only label A is required. In case there are more than 2 missing serial numbers missing, label B is required to show the rest of the missing serial numbers. 12
