1General description
This user manual describes the functionality of the family of multisensor modules STM 550x
and the family of Easyfit multisensor products EMSIx. An EMSIx Easyfit multisensor combines
an STM 550x module with a wall mount, a cover frame, a magnet and an adhesive mounting
tape into a ready to use product.
The STM 550x / EMSIx multisensor family consists of the following members:
◼STM 550 and EMSIA using 868.3 MHz radio (main market Europe)
◼STM 550U and EMSIU using 902.875 MHz radio (main market US / Canada)
◼STM 550J and EMSIJ using 928.35 MHz radio (main market Japan)
The term “STM 550x” is used throughout this user manual to describe both EMSIx Easyfit
multisensors and STM 550x multisensor modules in all frequency variants unless otherwise
noted.
1.1 Basic functionality
STM 550x is a flexible self-powered multi-sensor module family capable of measuring tem-
perature, humidity, illumination, magnet contact status and acceleration. It enables the re-
alization of energy harvesting wireless sensors for light, building or industrial control systems
communicating using the EnOcean radio standard.
STM 550x uses the same mechanical form factor as the industry standard PTM 21x modules
from EnOcean.
STM 550x implements the following sensors:
◼Temperature
◼Humidity
◼Illumination
◼Acceleration
◼Magnet contact
STM 550x will report periodically (by default approximately every 60 seconds, configurable
via NFC) the latest measurements of these sensors. In addition, STM 550x can also report
its internal energy level and the amount of light available at the solar cell.
STM 550x will report immediately if the status (open / closed) of the magnet contact changes
or if a change in acceleration measured by the acceleration sensor exceeds a user-defined
threshold for the first time.
Radio telegrams transmitted by STM 550x can be encrypted and authenticated using AES-
128 security based on a device-unique private key and a sequence counter in accordance to
the EnOcean Alliance Security Specification. This ensures integrity, confidentiality and au-
thenticity of the transmitted telegrams and prevents telegram replay (retransmission of pre-
viously transmitted telegrams).
STM 550x is self-supplied via an integrated solar cell which generates the energy required
for its operation. For cases where ambient light is not sufficiently available, STM 550x pro-
vides the option to mount a CR1632 backup battery.

2Functional overview
2.1 Product description
The energy-harvesting multi-sensor STM 550x using the STM 550x multisensor module pro-
vides wireless sensing functionality without batteries. Power is provided by a connected solar
cell. STM 550x transmits sensor data using the EnOcean radio standard.
STM 550x operates fully self-powered (no batteries required) when sufficient available am-
bient light (200 Lux for 6 hours per day) is available. In this configuration it is fully mainte-
nance-free.
For cases where sufficient ambient light is not available there is the option to mount a CR1632
backup battery.
Radio telegrams transmitted by STM 550x can be authenticated and encrypted using AES-
128 security based on a device-unique private key and a sequence counter in accordance to
the EnOcean Alliance Security Specification. This ensures integrity, confidentiality and au-
thenticity of the transmitted telegrams and prevents telegram replay (retransmission of pre-
viously transmitted telegrams).
2.2 Product interface
The STM 550x product interface consists of the following elements:
◼LRN button and LED as described in chapter 2.2.1
◼Solar cell harvesting energy from ambient light as described in chapter 2.2.2
◼Ambient light sensor (co-located with the LED) as described in chapter 3.
◼Magnet contact sensor as described in chapter 3.6
◼Ventilation slots to ensure airflow to the temperature and humidity sensor
◼Backup battery slot for a CR1632 battery as described in chapter 2.2.3
◼Backup battery ejector slot (on the back side) as described in chapter 2.2.3
◼Product label (on the back side) as described in chapter 2.2.4

2.2.2 Solar cell
The solar cell harvests energy from ambient light. The spectral response of the solar cell is
optimized to harvest energy both from natural and from artificial light. The amount of avail-
able light influences the available power and thereby the possible update rate of STM 550x
as discussed in chapter 2.4.1. The device should therefore be installed such that the amount
of light available to the solar cell is maximized.
2.2.3 Backup battery
STM 550x provides a backup battery interface to mount a CR1632 battery for cases with
insufficient ambient light. The backup battery has to be installed with the positive pole point-
ing upwards (i.e. towards the side of the solar cell).
EnOcean recommends Renata CR1632 due to its low self-discharge and high capacity. Gloves
should be used when installing a backup battery to avoid contamination of the isolation area
between the contacts that could lead to a higher self-discharge.
The backup battery can be removed (ejected) by using a small, non-conductive item (e.g.
wooden toothpick) to push the battery out.
Do not insert any tools into the battery slot or the battery ejection slot! Doing so
could create a short circuit or damage the PCB resulting in permanent damage!
2.2.4 Product label
Each STM 550x module contains a product label with a commissioning QR code. Figure 4
shows the STM 550 product label. STM 550U and STM 550J use the same label structure.
Note the commissioning QR code (described in chapter 6.2) is on the bottom left side.

2.3 Functional modes
STM 550x supports six types of functional modes:
◼Standard operation mode
◼Standby (Sleep) mode
◼Learn mode
◼Function test mode
◼Illumination test mode
◼Factory reset mode
Out of the box, STM 550x will be in standby mode to conserve energy during
transport and storage. Upon initial setup, STM 550x has to be set to standard op-
eration mode by pressing the LRN button shortly as described in chapter 9.1 or
via the NFC interface as described in chapter 8.5.11
2.3.1 Standard operation mode
During standard operation, STM 550x wakes up periodically and reports the current sensor
status using data telegrams.
The STM 550x wake-up timer is by default configured to wake-up STM 550x approximately
every 60 seconds. If acceleration exceeding the configured threshold is detected for the first
time after a period without exceeding this threshold then STM 550x wakes up immediately
(wake on acceleration event).
Likewise, if the status of the magnet contact changes (from open to closed or vice versa)
then this is reported immediately as well (wake on magnet contact event).
The wake-up intervals are affected at random (i.e. a small random offset is added or sub-
tracted) in order to increase the robustness of the radio transmission and to comply with
regulatory requirements.

2.3.2 Standby (Sleep) mode
Standby (sleep) mode is the lowest power mode of STM 550x and is the out of the box state
of STM 550x upon delivery. It is intended to be used during extended periods without oper-
ation such as device storage or transport.
In standby mode, STM 550x stops operation and conserves as much energy as possible. All
functionality –except those needed to return to standard operation mode –are disabled in
this mode.
Standby mode can be selected using the LRN button as described in chapter 2.2.1 or using
the MODE field of the FUNCTIONAL_MODE NFC register as described in chapter 8.5.11.
2.3.3 Learn mode
In learn mode, STM 550x will transmit a Teach-in telegram to communicate the device source
address and security key to a receiver. After that transmission, STM 550x will return back to
standard operation mode.
Learn mode can be selected using the LRN button as described in chapter 2.2.1 or using the
MODE field of the FUNCTIONAL_MODE NFC register as described in chapter 8.5.11.
2.3.4 Function test mode
In Function Test Mode, STM 550x will measure and report the status of the integrated sensors
at the highest possible rate to verify the sensor functionality.
STM 550x can be set into function test mode via the LRN button as described in chapter 2.2.1
or via the MODE field of the FUNCTIONAL_MODE NFC register as described in chapter 8.5.11.
Function Test Mode will be active for 120 seconds unless the LRN button is pressed before or
the functional mode is changed via the NFC interface.

2.3.5 Illumination test mode
During installation, STM 550x can measure and report the amount of ambient light available
at its solar cell in order to determine a suitable installation location as discussed in chapter
9.5.
Upon activation of light test mode, STM 550x will first wait for 15 seconds so that the installer
can leave the area to ensure a relevant measurement result.
After that, STM 550x will take measurements of the ambient light level using its solar cell
every 5 seconds for a period of one minute and compute the average illumination based on
those measurements.
The computed average illumination is then available in the NFC register ILLUMINA-
TION_TEST_RESULT as described in chapter 8.5.28.
Illumination test mode can be selected using the MODE field of the FUNCTIONAL_MODE NFC
register as described in chapter 8.5.11.
2.3.6 Factory reset mode
STM 550x can be reset to its standard settings using factory reset mode. Upon entering this
mode, STM 550x will reset all configuration registers to their default settings and then restart
operation in standard operation mode.
Factory reset mode can be selected using the LRN button as described in chapter 2.2.1 or
using the MODE field of the FUNCTIONAL_MODE NFC register as described in chapter 8.5.11.

2.4 Reporting interval
STM 550x will transmit its status as data telegram at a regular interval, the so-called report-
ing interval. By default, the reporting interval is 60 seconds, i.e. STM 550x will measure and
report its status approximately once per minute.
STM 550x is designed to apply fluctuations up to +-10% to any configured reporting interval
to increase transmission reliability and meet regulatory requirements.
If STM 550x is configured to report acceleration, then it will always report the initial acceler-
ation detection after a period without detected acceleration immediately. Likewise, if STM
550x is configured to report magnet contact status, then it will report any change in the
status of the magnet contact sensor (open -> closed or closed -> open) immediately.
2.4.1 Energy considerations
The default reporting interval of 60 seconds (one update per minute) is adjustable using the
NFC interface as discussed in the subsequent chapters. The minimum possible reporting in-
terval is 3 seconds and the maximum possible transmission interval is 65535 seconds.
Lowering the reporting interval of STM 550x will increase its power consumption since it will
measure and transmit more often. Likewise, increasing the reporting interval of STM 550x
will reduce its power consumption since it will measure and transmit less often.
To select the right reporting interval, it is essential to determine the amount of harvestable
energy. STM 550x harvests energy from the available ambient light; therefore, the amount
of available energy is determined mainly by the intensity of the available light and the amount
of time during which the light is available.
The amount of available ambient light can be determined by executing an illumination test
as described in chapter 2.3.5. The light availability period (the time during which the ambient
light is available) has to be determined based on the lighting scheme used for the environ-
ment where STM 550x is installed.
STM 550x is designed to provide one update per minute based on 200 lux of ambient light
available for 6 hours per day. The minimum supported update interval for self-supplied op-
eration based on other conditions is summarized in Table 2 below.

2.4.2 Standard reporting interval
The standard reporting interval determines the default interval between two status updates
of STM 550x.
The standard reporting interval can be adjusted using the STANDARD_TX_INTERVAL NFC
register as described in chapter 8.5.12. Consider the available energy before lowering the
reporting interval as discussed in chapter 2.4.1.
The default setting for the standard reporting interval is one status update once every 60
seconds (1 minute).
Figure 5 below illustrates the use of the standard reporting interval.

STM 550x can be configured to use a lower reporting interval, i.e. provide updates more
often, based on certain conditions as described below.

2.4.3 Illumination-controlled reporting interval
If sufficient ambient light is available, then it might be desirable to receive status updates
more often. For this, there are typically two main use cases:
◼Adjust the update rate based on the ambient light available for harvesting
◼Report more often during daytime (or when an office is lit) and less often during
night-time (or when an office is dark) to adapt the reporting to the usage pattern
In both cases, the higher update rate would be used whenever the ambient light level is
above a certain threshold. Figure 6 below illustrated the use of the illumination-controlled
reporting interval.

LIGHT_SENSOR_TX_INTERVAL LIGHT_SENSOR_TX_INTERVAL
Figure 6 –Illumination-controlled reporting interval
STM 550x can use either the light level at the solar cell (harvested energy) or the light level
at the ambient light sensor to trigger a higher update rate. To enable this feature, use the
following steps:
1. Configure the desired light level threshold either for the solar cell or the ambient
light sensor using either the SOLAR_THRESHOLD or LIGHT_THRESHOLD registers
described in chapters 8.5.17 and 8.5.19 respectively
2. Configure the desired reporting interval using either the SOLAR_TX_INTERVAL or
the LIGHT_TX_INTERVAL registers described in chapters 8.5.18 and 8.5.20 respec-
tively
3. Enable the use of the defined parameters using the SOLAR CELL and LIGHT SENSOR
bit fields in the THRESHOLD_CFG1 register of the NFC interface as defined in chap-
ter 8.5.13.
Consider the available energy before lowering the reporting interval as discussed in chapter
2.4.1.
