Plug EM into SmartRF04EB EM connectors USB      2 x SmartRF04EB 2 x CC1101EM (433 or 868/915 MHz) 2 x Antennas (picture may deviate) 2 x USB cables Documentation The 868-915 MHz RF boards in this kit are FCC and IC certified. Both the 433 MHz and the 868-915 MHz boards are tested to comply with ETSI/R&TTE over temperatures from 0 to +35°C. Insert a CC1101EM (EM) with an antenna into the SmartRF04EB (EB). Make sure the antenna is firmly connected for best performance.

Power: Battery 4b. Power: DC/External Caution! The kit contains ESD sensitive components. Handle with care to prevent permanent damage. 4c. Power: USB There are three different ways of applying The second method applies DC power using power to the EB: the DC input jack (right in picture, center is +, sleeve is ground), or by connecting a 4-10V The first method involves using an alkaline voltage source between the 4-10V and 0V non-rechargeable battery, either a 9V or a terminals of the power connector (left in 4xAA battery pack connected to the battery picture). It is also possible to connect a 3.3V connector on the bottom side of the board voltage source between the 3.3V and 0V terminals. The on-board voltage regulators will Warning! To minimize risk of personal injury or be bypassed in this case. property damage, ONLY use alkaline nonrechargeable batteries. Never use External Power Supply1 Requirements: rechargeable batteries to power the board. Nom Voltage: 6 VDC Max Current: 800 mA Efficiency Level V 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. 5. Set Power Switch 6. Packet Error Rate Test 7. Set Frequency Band 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 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. Select the desired frequency band of operation by using the joystick. The frequency should match the evaluation module and antenna you are using. Press the button marked S1 (lower right corner) to continue. 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. Do not leave the board powered when unattended. 1 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. 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 SWRU126B December 2013 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 2 Push the joystick down to display the screen shown above.
