PTM 215ZE Zigbee® Transmitter Module

The PTM 215ZE module enables the realization of energy harvesting wireless switches for EnOcean systems communicating based on the 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 radio standard. The PTM 215ZE is mechanically compatible with the established PTM 21x form factor enabling quick integration into a wide range of designs. Key applications are wall-mounted or portable switches with up to two rockers or four push buttons.

The PTM 215ZE module contains an electro-dynamic energy transducer actuated by a bow which can be pushed from outside the module on the left or right by an appropriate pushbutton or switch rocker. When the energy bow is pushed down, electrical energy is created and a 2.4 GHz radio telegram, according to the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, is transmitted. This radio telegram transmits the operating status of all four contact nipples at the moment when the energy bow is pushed down.

The PTM 215ZE telegram format has been defined to maximize compatibility with a wide range of devices, including those implementing the Zigbee Green Power standard. The PTM 215ZE pushbutton transmitter module is self-powered (no batteries) and fully maintenance-free, making it useful in many environments, including locations that are difficult to reach or within hermetically sealed housings. PTM 215ZE radio telegrams are protected with AES-128 (CBC) security based on a device unique private key.
