CC2500EMK Quick Start Guide
Opening the box and using the modules with SmartRF04EB
1. Kit Contents
2. How to use the modules
3. Plug EM into SmartRF04EB
The CC2500EM boards can be plugged into
several development boards from Texas
Instruments. Most notably, you can use the
SmartRF04EB, which is included in the
CC2500DK. This board lets you run a packet
error rate (PER) test, control the device from
SmartRF™ Studio and it can be used as a
development platform.
2 x CC2500 Evaluation Modules
2 x Antennas (Pulse W1010, 2 dBi) *
Documentation
The RF boards in this kit are FCC and IC certified
and they are tested to comply with ETSI/R&TTE
over temperatures from 0 to +35°C.
FCC/IC Regulatory Compliance
FCC Part 15 Class A Compliant
IC ICES-003 Class A Compliant
The board can also be plugged into the SmartRF
TrxEB (included in e.g. CC1120DK and
CC1200DK) and the MSP430 Experimenter’s
Boards.
For prototyping with other microcontrollers, plug
the EM into the “SoC Battery Board”
(www.ti.com/tool/soc-bb).
Insert a CC2500EM (EM) with an antenna into
the SmartRF04EB (EB). Connect the antenna
firmly to the SMA connector on the EM.
Caution! The kit contains ESD
sensitive components. Handle with care
to prevent permanent damage.
This guide will show how to use the modules
together with SmartRF04EB.
(*) Picture may deviate!
4a. Power: Battery
4b. Power: DC/External
4c. Power: USB
There are three different ways of applying power
to the EB:
The second method applies DC power using
the DC input jack (right in picture, centre is +,
sleeve is ground), or by connecting a 4-10V
voltage source between the 4-10V and 0V
terminals of the power connector (left in
picture). It is also possible to connect a 3.3V
voltage source between the 3.3V and 0V
terminals. The on-board voltage regulators will
be bypassed in this case.
The EB can also be powered from the USB bus.
Make sure that the SmartRF™ Studio software is
installed before connecting the EB to the PC;
otherwise you may experience problems in
installing it later due to driver issues.
The first method involves using an alkaline nonrechargeable battery, either a 9V or a 4xAA
battery pack connected to the battery connector
on the bottom side of the board
Warning! To minimize risk of personal injury or
property damage, ONLY use alkaline nonrechargeable batteries. Never use rechargeable
batteries to power the board.
5. Set Power Switch
If a 3.3V source is used as described in 4b
above, the switch should be set to the leftmost
position. For all other cases, the switch should
be set to the rightmost position. This switch can
be used to turn off the EB by switching it to the
opposite position of that used to turn it on
Do not leave the board powered when
unattended.
External Power Supply Requirements:
Nom Voltage: 6 VDC
Max Current: 800 mA
Efficiency Level V
6. Packet Error Rate Test
When power is applied to the board, the PER test
program will start. You should see the text shown
above on the LCD display on both evaluation
boards.
Press the button marked S1 (lower right corner)
to continue.
Note that if multiple power sources are
connected, the source with the highest voltage
will power the EB. This means that you should
disconnect any attached battery when using a
lab supply or USB power; otherwise the
battery will be drained.
7. Set Frequency Band
Select the desired frequency band of operation by
using the joystick. The frequency should match
the evaluation module and antenna you are
using.
Note that the value shown in the display is also
the selected value. There is no need to press a
button to select or activate the selection.
When using an external power supply, make sure it meets the listed requirements in addition to complying with applicable regional product regulatory and
safety certification requirements such as UL, CSA, VDE, CCC, and PSE
8. Set Network ID
9. Packet Length
10. Number of Packets
Push the joystick down to display the screen
shown above. This lets you set the ID of the node
in case you need to run several PER tests
simultaneously
and
you
have
multiple
development kits. Leave this set to 1 for now.
Push the joystick down to display the screen
shown above. This lets you set the length of the
packets to be transmitted. The packet length will
affect the measured packet error rate. Push the
joystick left or right to select the packet length you
want to use.
Push the joystick down to display the screen
shown above. This lets you set the number of
packets to be transmitted. Set this to the desired
value using the joystick.
11. Select RF Settings
12. Select Mode
13. Configure 2nd EB
Push the joystick down to display the screen
shown above. This lets you select preset RF
configurations, including modulation and data rate

Preset 1: 2-FSK, 10 kBaud
Preset 2: MSK, 250 kBaud
Preset 3: MSK, 500 kBaud
Push the joystick down to display the screen
shown above. Use the joystick to select master
mode. The EB you have configured now will be
the master in the PER test.
Perform steps 3 through 11 on the second EB.
Push the joystick down until you get the display
shown above. Leave this EB in slave mode.
14. Start PER
15. Run PER Test
16. References
Please visit www.ti.com and
http://www.ti.com/tool/cc2500emk
Push the joystick down on both EBs, and the
screen shown above is displayed. Push the
joystick right on the slave EB first, and then push
the joystick right on the master EB. The PER test
will start when the two nodes have successfully
connected.
The uppermost line of the LCD will show the PER
for packets transmitted from the slave to the
master, while the second line will show the PER
for packets transmitted from the master to the
slave.
The PER test will end when the number of
packets you selected in step 10 is reached or if
100 consecutive packets are lost.
