3 Z-WAVE MODULES
The ZW0201/ZW0301 Single Chip based Z-Wave Modules have been developed by Zensys A/S and
have been extensively tested with regards to both digital signal integrity and RF performances. The
modules have been RF/EMC tested and have passed FCC part 15 and R&TTE Directives. Refer to the
datasheet for ZW0201 [3], ZW0301 [4] for a detailed description of chip functionalities.
All necessary documentation for pre-production of the Z-Wave Modules, including schematics, BOM’s,
PCB documentation, production test documents, etc. is available as a Blueprint package. This enables
OEM customers to reduce time to market for their Z-Wave enabled products. For further information on
Blueprint content, please contact Zensy s A/S.
3.1 Z-Wave Module Family
Three Z-Wave Module form factors currently exist. The Integrated Z-Wave Module called ZMxx20, which
is a 20cm2 single side mounted PCB having an integrated PCB antenna (other external antennas can be
used) and some mounting options. The Small-Form-Factor Z-Wave Module called ZMxx06, which is a
6cm2 single side mounted PCB used for small size applications. The ZMxx06 do not have an integrated
antenna and therefore requires an external antenna, enabling flexible antenna design and mounting. The
smallest Z-Wave Module called ZM2102/ZM3102N is a small pre-manufactured and pre-tested module in
size 12.5mm. x 13.6mm. The ZM2102/ZM3102N can be mounted with a standard pick-and-place
machine on the production line and undergo a re-flow process or be hand soldered to the Application
PCB. The ZM2102/ZM3102N does not have an integrated antenna and therefore requires an external
antenna, enabling flexible antenna design and mounting.
The following table describes features and mounting options of the available Z-Wave Modules.
