Quick Product Introduction
The RC2400 series of modules are specially designed to comply with IEEE 802.15.4-based
industry standards like ZigBee PRO, 6LoWPAN, Wireless HART, RC4CE and others. Using
the module together with the TI Z-stack is a powerful combination to build any ZigBee profile
and application. The module contains qualified RF hardware and enough processor power to
run the complete ZigBee mesh network protocol for a full function device including the
application.
Using a pre-qualified module is the fastest way to make a ZigBee product and shortest time to
market. The embedded RF HW and MCU resources in a 100% RF tested and pre-qualified
module shorten the qualification and approval process. No RF design or RF expertise is
required to add powerful wireless networking to the product. In most cases you only need
supply voltage (for example an external battery) and a sensor/actuator and the module can
run the entire application.
The module can be used as
• RC2400/RC2400HP: HW platform. No preloaded firmware.
• RC2400-ZNM/RC2400HP-ZNM : A complete ZigBee PRO network module where the
entire ZigBee Pro compliant stack and configurable application software is preloaded
in module and available via API on a serial interface.

The RF transceiver uses direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) with 2 Mchip/s chip rate,
giving a raw data rate of 250 kbit/s. The modulation format is Offset – Quadrature Phase Shift
Keying (O-QPSK). The DSSS makes the communication link robust in noisy environments,
which is beneficial when sharing the same frequency band with other applications.
Output power
The output power can be programmed in a 25-27 dB range. Maximum power setting
(TXPOWER=0xF5) gives 20 dBm output power for RC2400HP and 4 dBm output power for
RC2400. Battery lifetime considerations and compliance to local maximum output power
regulations will influence the output power setting.
Battery operation might require lower peak currents and hence reduced output power,
especially for the RC2400HP. See table below.

Regulatory Compliance Information
The use of RF frequencies and maximum allowed transmitted RF power is limited by national
regulations. The RC2400HP has been designed to comply with world wide regulations
(R&TTE directive 1999/5/EC in Europe FCC, ARIB and G.S.R. 542(E)/45(E) for India). The
RC2400 (non-HP) complies with all directives and regulations at any power lever setting. In
order to comply with the different standards, the output power for RC2400HP should be
configured as commented below.
R&TTE directive (EU)
According to R&TTE directive it is the responsibility of Radiocrafts’ customers to
check that the host product (i.e. final product) is compliant with R&TTE essential
requirements. The use of a CE marked radio module can avoid re-certification of the
final product, provided that the end user respects the recommendations established
by Radiocrafts. A Declaration of Conformity is available from Radiocrafts on request.
In terms of R&TTE the RC2400HP is a wideband radio and must comply with EN
300 328 on those premises. This implies that the radiated power must be lower than
12 dBm and hence power setting giving 12 dBm or lower can be used in compliance
to EN 300 328.
FCC/IC compliance (US, Canada)
These devices comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Using an antenna, the VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) of the antenna should be less
than 2:1. The VSWR is normally specified in the antenna datasheet and most commercial
available antennas fulfil this requirement. If you design a PCB antenna this is an important
input requirement for such a design. Using a VSWR higher than 2:1, will result in unwanted
reflected power into the module and reducing both the module performance and radiated
power. This will in turn reduce the range. Using a VSWR higher than 3:1 is not recommended.
The antenna shall be connected to the RF pin. The RF pin is matched to 50 Ohm. In the case
that an antenna connector for an external antenna is placed away from the module at the
motherboard, the trace between the RF pin and the connector should be a 50 Ohm
transmission line. Follow these general guidelines;
On a two layer board made of FR4 the width of the routing trace, from the RF-pin to any
connector or contact point for a PCB-antenna, should be 1.8 times the thickness of the board,
assuming a dielectric constant of 4.8 (normal value for a FR-4 board). The line should be run
at the top of the board and on the bottom side there should be a ground plane. This will give a
transmission line with close to 50 ohm characteristic impedance.
Example: For a 1.6 mm thick FR4 board, the width of the trace on the top side should be 1.8 x
1.6 mm = 2.88 mm.
The easiest antenna to use is the quarter wave whip antenna. A quarter wave whip antenna
above a ground plane yields 37 Ohm impedance and a matching circuit for 50 Ohm is not
required. A quarter wave antenna implemented with a piece of wire normal to the ground
plane should have a length equivalent to 95% of the free space wavelength.
A PCB antenna can be made as a copper track where the ground plane is removed on the
back side. The rest of the PCB board should have a ground plane as large as possible,
preferably as large (in one dimension) as the antenna itself, to make it act as an electrical
counterweight to the antenna. A quarter wavelength antenna on a PCB must be shorter than
the wire antenna due to the influence of the dielectric material of the PCB. The length
reduction depends on the PCB thickness and material, as well as how close to the edge of
the board the antenna is placed. Typical reduction is to 75-90 % of the length in free space

but exact length must be found empirically. A 1.0 or 1.6 mm FR4 PCB with the antenna trace
> 1 cm from conducting obstacles normally reduces the length of a quarter wave antenna to
about 2.4 cm.
If, for space reasons, the track is made even shorter than the resonating quarter of a
wavelength, the antenna should be matched to 50 ohms using a series inductor and a shunt
capacitor.

PCB Layout Recommendations
The recommended layout pads for the module are shown in the figure below. All dimensions
are in thousands of an inch (mil). The circle in upper left corner is an orientation mark only,
and should not be a part of the copper pattern.
A PCB with two or more layers and with a solid ground plane in one of the inner- or bottom
layer(s) is recommended. All GND-pins of the module shall be connected to this ground plane
with vias with shortest possible routing, one via per GND-pin.
On the back side of the module there are several test pads. These test pads shall not be
connected, and the area underneath the module should be covered with solder resist. If any
routing or vias is required under the module, the routing and vias must be covered with solder
resist to prevent short circuiting of the test pads. It is recommended that vias are tented.
Reserved pins should be soldered to the pads, but the pads must be left floating.
Note that Radiocrafts technical support team is available for free-of-charge schematic- and
layout review of your design.

Soldering Profile Recommendation
JEDEC standard IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D.1 (page 7 and 8), Pb-Free Assembly is
recommended.
The standard requires that the heat dissipated in the "surroundings" on the PCB is taken into
account. The peak temperature should be adjusted so that it is within the window specified in
the standard for the actual motherboard.
Aperture for paste stencil is normally areal-reduced by 20-35%, please consult your
production facility for best experience aperture reduction. Nominal stencil thickness of 0.10.12 mm recommended.
