1GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 Basic functionality
The radio transmitter modules and 429J from EnOcean
enable the implementation of a wireless magnet contact
sensor.
Powered by a solar cell, it works absolutely mainte-
nance-free. An integrated energy store allows operation
for several days even in total darkness.
Key applications are window and door sensors.
STM 429J supervise an integrated reed contact and re-
port every status change immediately (open <>
closed). In addition a sign of life signal is transmitted
every 20-30 minutes.
A LRN button and a TX indicator LED are pre-installed on the PCB. On STM 429J they are
oriented upwards. When the LRN button is pressed then a special teach-in signal will be
sent.
STM 429J operate at 928.35MHz using FSK modulation.
STM 429J in enhanced mode provides enhanced security features with encrypted communi-
cation.

pecially if energy storage is exposed to higher temperatures. Each 10 K drop in tempera-
ture doubles the expected life span.

2Recommended for maximum life of energy storage capacitor
3Deep discharge of the PAS614L energy storage leads to degradation of performance.
Therefore products have to be taken into operation after 36 months. At least the PAS614L
needs to be recharged to 2.1 V.
The module shall not be placed on conductive materials, to prevent discharge of
the internal energy storages3. Even materials such as conductive foam (ESD pro-
tection) may have negative impact.

2FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 Block diagram
A change of the reed contact status or pushing the LRN button will wake the transmitter
unit to send a radio telegram immediately (reed contact position, LRN push button status,
unique 32-bit sensor ID (at profile teach-in 48 bit ID), checksum).
In addition a redundant retransmission signal is sent to announce the contact status even
in case of no input signal changes. This signal transmitted every 20-30 min, affected at
random. The transmit indicator LED flashes briefly at every radio transmission.
Between the wake-up phases, the device is in sleep mode for minimum power consump-
tion.
2.2 Radio telegram
429J transmits a radio telegram according to EnOcean Equipment Profile
EEP D5-00-01 as defined in the EnOcean Equipment Profiles specification.
2.3 Secure radio telegram
The STM 429J can be operated in:
Standard mode –no enhanced security is used. This is the common operation mode,
originally available. This is also the default factory mode.
Security mode –communication is protected by enhanced security features. This
mode was added later in module evolution.
2.3.1 Switching between modes
STM 429J can be switched from normal mode to secure mode and vice versa by long press
of the LRN Button (Wake 1).
The behaviour of the LRN button is following:

USER MANUAL
STM 429J –Scavenger Transmitter Module
© 2017 EnOcean | www.enocean.com STM 429J User Manual | v2.0 | Nov 2017 | Page 9/ 17
1. Button is pressed –LED flashes briefly Teach-in is performed according to the actual
mode.
2. Button is hold
a. If released in period < 10 seconds then actual mode is kept. No further ac-
tion.
b. If hold for at least 10 seconds then the actual mode is changed (standard ->
secure or secure -> standard). LED flashes briefly. Teach-in is performed ac-
cording to the actual (new) mode.
3. Button is released –no action.
Upon entry into secure mode, a secure teach-in telegram is sent by STM 429J.
Mode change features can be suppressed by configuration flag. If flag set module
will not enter secure mode after long press, but stay in standard mode. By default
mode change feature is enabled.
Before changing the operating mode please make sure to clear the device from all
receivers which have been taught to work with this device before. Otherwise the
receiver will ignore the telegrams and the application will not work.
The flag for actual mode itself is stored in non-volatile memory. After power down
reset the previous selected mode is active. Therefore mode change is limited to 50
times. In normal application scenario only very few are required.
The factory delivery mode of the STM 429J is standard –not encrypted. This mode is com-
mon mode originally available. Secure mode was added in later product upgrades.
The mode change feature can be suppressed by a configuration parameter. By default
mode change is enabled.
2.3.2 Encrypted communication –enhanced security mode
In Enhanced mode the data link (DL) content is always protected with advanced security
features. Normal operation DL and also Teach-in DL are protected in the same way. The
security features used are configured by the Security Level format - SLF. This parameter is
set by default to the highest possible level:
24-bit RLC,
No RLC tx,
4-byte CMAC,
VAES encryption
To add security features to the communication the Normal operation DL and Teach-in DL
are encapsulated into a secured telegram. The data content of the telegram is not changed.
Please refer to the EnOcean Security Specification for details.
2.3.3 Security Teach-In –enhanced security mode
To enable security communication the STM 429J has to send a security teach-in telegram to
the other communication partner and so inform him about the used security profile, keys
and initial RLC. The security teach-in has to take place before any other communication can
be executed (profile teach-in included). To trigger the transmission of the teach-in telegram
LRN button is pressed. The security teach-in telegram is transmitted before the profile

teach-in. The following profile teach-in telegram is already protected by advanced security
features.
The process of sending security teach-in telegram and profile teach-in telegram is triggered
by once pressing the LRN button.
The behaviour of the LRN button in enhanced mode is following:
1. Button is pressed
2. Security teach-in is send.
3. Profile teach-in is send.
2.3.3.1 PSK Security Teach-in - optional
The Security Teach-in telegram carries the information of KEY and RLC. This information is
either sent as plain text (as is) or it is protected by the pre-shared key - PSK. The PSK
must be in printed on the transmitting device. To use PSK teach-in, the PSK must be read
by the end-user and entered into the other communication partner. For this purpose the
EnOcean radio interface cannot be used. The PSK can be entered trough a user interface or
semi-automated by a code reader.
For details on the PSK Teach-in please refer to the EnOcean Security Speification.
PSK feature is disabled by default. To enable PSK feature the execute configuration in Dol-
phin Suite.
2.4 Transmit timing
The setup of the transmission timing allows avoiding possible collisions with data packages
of other EnOcean transmitters as well as disturbances from the environment. With each
transmission cycle, 3 identical subtelegrams are transmitted within 25 ms. The transmis-
sion of a subtelegram lasts approximately 1 ms. The delay between the three transmission
bursts is affected at random.

2.5 Energy consumption
Charge needed for one measurement and transmit cycle: ~80 µC
Charge needed for one measurement cycle without transmit: ~10 µC
Calculations are performed on the basis of electric charges because of the internal linear
voltage regulator of the module. Energy consumption varies with voltage of the energy
storage while consumption of electric charge is constant.
From these values the following typical performance parameters at room temperature have
been calculated:
Wake and
transmit
cycle [s]
Operation Time in darkness
[h] when storage fully
charged
Required reload time [h] at 200 lux
within 24 h for continuous operation
1500
175
1.8
Assumptions:
Internal storage PAS614L-VL3 (after several days of operation at good illumination
level) with 0.25 F, Umax=3.2 V, Umin=2.3 V, T=25 °C
Consumption: Transmit cycle 80 µC, measurement cycle 10 µC
Pre-installed solar cell ECS 300, operating values 3 V and 5 µA @ 200 lux fluorescent
light
Current proportional to illumination level (not true at very low levels!)
These values are calculated, the accuracy is about +/-20%! The performance varies over
temperature and may be strongly reduced at extreme temperatures.

3.2 Transmission range
The main factors that influence the system transmission range are type and location of the
antennas of the receiver and the transmitter, type of terrain and degree of obstruction of
the link path, sources of interference affecting the receiver, and “Dead” spots caused by
signal reflections from nearby conductive objects. Since the expected transmission range
strongly depends on this system conditions, range tests should categorically be performed
before notification of a particular range that will be attainable by a certain application.
The following figures for expected transmission range are considered as a rough guide only:
Line-of-sight connections: Typically 30 m range in corridors, up to 100 m in halls
Plasterboard walls / dry wood: Typically 30 m range, through max. 5 walls
Ferroconcrete walls / ceilings: Typically 10 m range, through max. 1 ceiling
Fire-safety walls, elevator shafts, staircases and supply areas should be considered as
screening.
The angle at which the transmitted signal hits the wall is very important. The effective wall
thickness –and with it the signal attenuation –varies according to this angle. Signals
should be transmitted as directly as possible through the wall. Wall niches should be avoid-
ed. Other factors restricting transmission range:
Switch mounted on metal surfaces (up to 30% loss of transmission range)
Hollow lightweight walls filled with insulating wool on metal foil
False ceilings with panels of metal or carbon fiber
Lead glass or glass with metal coating, steel furniture
The distance between EnOcean receivers and other transmitting devices such as comput-
ers, audio and video equipment that also emit high-frequency signals should be at least
0.5 m.
A summarized application note to determine the transmission range within buildings is
available as download from www.enocean.com.
3.3 Connecting an external backup battery
In case there is not sufficient light available for operation with solar cell an external 3 V
Lithium backup battery can be connected to the module at the soldering pads shown below:

3.4 Mounting 429J into a housing
The figure below shows an example of a housing in which the module can be mounted (with
antenna pointing to the left).
Design data of the housing and the modules is available in .igs format.
To prevent damage, please make sure not to exert shear force (side force within
the plane of the solar cell) onto the solar cell or the module itself!
The maximum vertical force onto the solar cell must not exceed 4 N and should be
homogeneously distributed!
Bending of the PCB must be avoided!
Please make sure that the housing covers 0.5 mm at the solar cell edges.
Within 0.5 mm off the edge flaking is possible due to the cutting process.
