PTM 210 / 210C STEP EA
1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The radio transmitter device PTM 210 / PTM 210C from EnOcean enables the implementa-
tion of wireless remote controls without batteries. Power is provided by a built-in electro-
dynamic power generator. The PTM 210 / PTM 210C device serves the 868 MHz / 315 MHz
air interface protocol of EnOcean.
Electro-dynamic powered radio transmitter device PTM 210
1.1 Basic Functionality
A common electro-dynamic energy transducer is actuated by a bow (1), which can be
pushed from outside the device by an appropriate push button or switch rocker. When the
energy bow is pushed down, electrical energy is created and an RF telegram is transmitted
including a 32-bit device ID. Releasing the energy bow generates different telegram data,
so every PTM telegram contains the information that the bow was pressed or released.
“Long” or “Short” push button operation (the time between pushing and releasing the
pushbutton) can be easily detected by the receiver. By doing that, applications such as
dimming control or blinds control including slat action are simple to implement.
In addition, the PTM telegram transmits the operating status of the contact nipples (2)
when pressing the bow. This enables the identification of up to 2 appropriate switch rockers
or up to 4 pushbuttons.
