CHAPTER II.
REQUIREMENTS
II.1. Regulations requirements
The ZE51/61-2.4 module is a [1],[2],[6],[7] compliant multi channel radio modem in the 2.4GHz band (unlicensed
frequency band).
Europe Regulation:
The “ERC recommendation 70-03” [2] describes the limits band in the 2.4GHz license free band, in terms of bandwidth,
maximum power, duty cycle, channel spacing and type of application. It gives the following limitations:
Class
Frequency
band
Maximum radiated power
Annex 1h
(Non-Specific
Short range
Devices)
2400 – 2483.5
MHz
10 mW e.i.r.p.
2400 – 2483.5
MHz
100 mW e.i.r.p. and 100
mW/100 kHz e.i.r.p. density
applies when frequency
hopping modulation is used,
10 mW/MHz e.i.r.p. density
applies when other types of
modulation are used.(*)(**)
Annex 3a
(Wideband Data
Transmission
systems)
Channel
spacing
Duty cycle
No channel
spacing
specified
No channel
spacing
specified.
Notes
No
restriction
No
restriction
For wide band
modulations other than
FHSS, the maximum
e.i.r.p. density is limited
to 10 mW/MHz
(*) Compliant to the EU Commission Decision [9], [10]. Techniques to access spectrum and mitigate interference
that provide at least equivalent performance to the techniques described in harmonized standards adopted under
Directive 1999/5/EC must be used.
(**) For IEEE802.15.4 DSSS modulation used by ZigBee, the modulated signal is spread over 2MHz. So, the
maximum radiated power is 20mW. The output power must therefore be reduced to approximately +13 dBm in
order to get CE approval. The final output power level will depend on the antenna used.

The 2.4 Ghz band is a harmonized band in most of Europe. So the product must be declared in compliance with
the harmonized ETSI standards EN 300 440 (Class 1h) or EN 300 228 (Class 3a).
Finally, the module complies with the new European Directive 2002/95/EC concerning the Restrictive Usage of
Hazardous Substances (RoHS).
USA Regulation:
In the United States the FCC is responsible for the regulation of all RF devices. Our module intended for
unlicensed operation is regulated by CFR 47, Part 15 [6].
The 2.4 GHz band used for unlicensed radio equipment is regulated by section 15.247.
Japan regulation
In Japan the unlicensed use of short range devices in the 2.4 GHz ISM band is regulated by the ARIB standard
STD-T66 [7].

1VV0300868 Rev.4 – 23/06/2011
V.2. Storage
The optimal storage environment for ZE51/61-2.4/SMD modules should be dust free, dry and the temperature
should be included between -40°C and +85°C.
In case of a reflow soldering process, tiny radio modules must be submitted to a drying bake at +60°C during 24
hours. The drying bake must be used prior to the reflow soldering process in order to prevent a popcorn effect.
After being submitted to the drying bake, tiny modules must be soldered on host boards within 168 hours.
Also, it must be noted that due to some components, ZE51/61-2.4/SMD modules are ESD sensitive device.
Therefore, ESD handling precautions should be carefully observed.
V.3. Soldering pad pattern
The surface finished on the printed circuit board pads should be made of Nickel/Gold surface.
The recommended soldering pad layout on the host board for the ZE51/61-2.4/SMD-WA, is shown in the diagram
below:

V.4. Solder paste composition (RoHS process)
ZE51/61-2.4/SMD module is designed for surface mounting using half-moon solder joints (see diagram below). For
proper module assembly, solder paste must be printed on the target surface of the host board. The solder paste
should be eutectic and made of 95.5% of SN, 4% of Ag and 0.5% of Cu. The recommended solder paste height is
180 μm .
The following diagram shows mounting characteristics for tiny integration on host PCB:
V.5. Placement
The ZE51/61-2.4/SMD module can be automatically placed on host boards by pick-and-place machines like any
integrated circuit.

V.6. Soldering profile (RoHS process)
It must be noted that ZE51/61-2.4/SMD module should not be allowed to be hanging upside down during the reflow
operation. This means that the module has to be assembled on the side of the printed circuit board that is soldered
last.
The recommendation for lead-free solder reflow in IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D Standard should be followed.

The barcode label located on the module shield is able to withstand the reflow temperature.
CAUTION
It must also be noted that if the host board is submitted to a wave
soldering after the reflow operation, a solder mask must be used in
order to protect the tiny radio module’s metal shield from being in
contact with the solder wave.

CHAPTER VI.
BOARD MOUNTING RECOMMENDATION
VI.1. Electrical environment
The best performances of the ZE51/61-2.4 module are obtained in a “clean noise” environment. Some basic
recommendations must be followed:

Noisy electronic components (serial RS232, DC-DC Converter, Display, Ram, bus ,...) must be placed as
far as possible from the ZE51/61-2.4 module.
 Switching components circuits (especially RS-232/TTL interface circuit power supply) must be decoupled
with a 100 µF tantalum capacitor. And the decoupling capacitor must be as close as possible to the noisy
chip.

VI.3. RF layout considerations
Basic recommendations must be followed to achieve a good RF layout :
 It is recommended to fill all unused PCB area around the module with ground plane, except in case of
integrated antenna (no ground plane must be placed in front of the antenna and on the bottom side).
 The radio module ground pin must be connected to solid ground plane.
 If the ground plane is on the bottom side, a via (Metal hole) must be used in front of each ground pad.
Especially J28 and J30 (RF Gnd) pins should be grounded via several holes to be located right next to
the pins thus minimizing inductance and preventing mismatch and losses.

VI.4. Antenna connection on Printed Circuit Boards
Special care must be taken when connecting an antenna or a connector to the module. The RF output impedance
is 50 ohms, so the strip between the pad and the antenna or connector must be 50 ohms following the tables
below. Ground lines should be connected to the ground plane with as many vias as possible, but not too close to
the signal line.

CHAPTER VII.
ANTENNA CONSIDERATIONS
VII.1. Antenna recommendations
ZE51/61-2.4 performances when used in a product are strongly dependent on the antenna type and its location.
Particular cautions are required on the following points:
 Use a good and efficient antenna designed for the 2.4 GHz band.
 Antenna must be fixed in such a location that electronic noise cannot affect the performances. (Outside
location is ideal if available).
 Antenna directivity must be low (Omni directional antenna is usually the best choice).
Recommended antenna specifications:

Frequency Band : 2440MHz +/- 100MHz

Radiation Pattern : Omni directional

Nominal Impedance: 50 

VSWR: 1.5:1 max.

Gain: 0dBi

Polarization: Vertical

1VV0300868 Rev.4 – 23/06/2011
VII.2. Antenna matching
Impedance matching can be required to deliver the maximum possible power from the module to the antenna and
vice versa. This is typically accomplished by inserting a matching network into a circuit between the source and the
load.
This matching network must be established as close as possible to the ZE51/61 module.

VII.3. Antenna types
The following are the antenna examples that may be suitable for ZE51/61-2.4/SMD-WA applications. We
distinguish two types of antenna:


External antenna (antenna is mounted outside of the device)
Embeddable antenna (antenna is integrated inside the device)
VII.4. External antenna
External antenna is recommended when the range performance is primordial. For example, for base stations and
access points, where a better antenna gain may be required.
¼ Wave Monopole antenna:
The ¼ Wave antenna is 3 cm long @ 2.4 Ghz. Shorter compensated antennas could be used as long as they are
adapted to 2.4 GHz frequency.
Best range may be achieved if the ¼ Wave antenna is placed perpendicular in the middle of a solid ground plane
measuring at least 5 cm radius. In this case, the antenna should be connected to the module via some 50 ohm
characteristic impedance coaxial cable.

WARNING
The metallic plane must be ideally under the antenna (balanced radiation). Never
short-circuit the hot and cold pins!
The installation directives are the following:
 Solder the coaxial cable on the hot and ground pad antenna (of the ZE51/61-2.4 module.)
 Fix the antenna on a metallic plane or on a metallic box with the metallic screw provided with the antenna.
 If the ZE51/61-2.4 module is integrated in a plastic box, use a metal tape (copper) glued on the plastic
side under the antenna.

1VV0300868 Rev.4 – 23/06/2011
Half Wave Dipole antenna:
The ½ Wave Dipole antenna is around 6 cm long. In a ½ Wave Dipole antenna the metallic plane is replaced by a
second ¼ Wave antenna balancing the radiation.
Half wave monopole antenna typically offers a ground-independent design with favorable gain, excellent radiation
pattern. It has a high impedance and requires an impedance-matching circuit (See paragraph IX.3)

WARNING
It is recommended to place the ½ wave dipole antenna away from all metallic
object, which will detuned it.
Particularity it is not recommended to place this type of antenna directly on a
metallic box, but the antenna can be deported away through a 50 ohm coaxial
cable.

1VV0300868 Rev.4 – 23/06/2011
VII.5. Embeddable antennas
In this section you will find antennas designed to be directly attached to ZE51/61-2.4/SMD-WA module, inside the
product casing. These antennas are only used in application where security, cosmetics, size or environmental
issues make an external antenna impractical. This type of antenna is used when the integration factor becomes
primordial (for mobile and handheld devices) to the range performances.
The basic recommendations are:
 The radio module must not be placed in a metallic casing or close to metallic devices.
 The internal antenna must be far from noisy electronic.
Ceramic antenna:
Ceramic antenna is a SMD component to be mounted directly on the PCB. It is designed so that it resonates and
be 50 ohms at the desired frequency. But we recommended to place an impedance-matching circuit (See
paragraph VII.2).
The place under and around the ceramic antenna must be free of any track or ground plane. (refer to the antenna
constructor requirements). It usually has a hemispherical radiation pattern has described below.
Miniaturized antenna:
This type of antenna features a through-hole feedline to directly attach it to the PCB. This antenna acts like a ¼
wave antenna so that a minimum ground plane is required.

VIII.2. Conformity Assessment Issues FCC/IC
Modules ZE51/61 are FCC/IC approved as modules to be installed in other devices. If the final product after
integration is intended for portable use, a new application and FCC/IC is required.
FCC Notice
The FCC notifies users that any changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by
Telit Communications S.P.A. may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Wireless notice:
This product emits radio frequency energy, but the radiated output power of this device is far below the FCC radio
frequency exposure limits. This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits forth for an uncontrolled
environment. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact with
the antenna during normal operation is minimized.
IC Notice
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003, RSS-Gen and RSS-210.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003, CNR-Gen et CNR-210 du
Canada
These radio transmitters ID: 5131A-ZE51 and 5131A-XE61 has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with
the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each
antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain
indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Les présent émetteures radio ID: 5131A-ZE51 e 5131A-XE61 a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour
fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance
requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur

Wireless notice
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.
L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2)
l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en
compromettre le fonctionnement.
Label recommendations
If neither FCC ID nor IC ID is visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the
device into which the module is installed will display a label referring to the enclosed module by labelling the host
device in this manner: “Contains FCC ID: RI7ZE51 and IC ID: 5131A -ZE51” or “Contains FCC ID: RI7XE61 and
IC ID: 5131A –XE61”
Safety recommendations
The device must maintain a distance of at least 20 cm from the user’s body when transmitting. In case this
requirement cannot be satisfied, the system integrator has to assess the final product against the SAR
regulation.
