1 Introduction
BT600 series Bluetooth single mode module uses Nordic nRF51822 Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) chip. Three
antenna options are offered:
BT600I with a chip antenna on module, line of sight range is 30 meters or 90 feet.
BT600E, an external antenna is required. Line of sight range is 50 meters or 150 feet when used with
recommended antenna.
BT600P with on board PCB trace antenna, line of sight range is 20 meters or 60 feet. This is the lowest
cost version.
DVB-BT600. Development board for BT600 modules. A PC or a host processor can communicate with
BT600 through an UART port. All IO pins are available at connectors.
A host processor can set BT600 to command and data mode by setting an I/O pin to high and low, respectively.
When using with a PC, a jumper is used to set the BT600 IO pin. When in data mode, the host processor
communicates with a smartphone, a computer, or other electronic equipment through this BT module.
1.1 Standalone Mode
BT600 can operate in standalone mode – without a host processor. A 32 bit ARM Cortex™ M0 processor with
128 KB of flash memories are built-in. Development tools are available from Nordic and other 3rd parties.
BT600 dimensions and pin assignments are the same as some modules from other manufacturers.
Programming tools are commercially available to reprogram module for standalone operation.

4 AT Commands
4.1 Brief description of AT commands
Each command line consists of a prefix, a body and a terminator.
All command lines begin with the prefix AT (ASCII 065, 084) or at (ASCII 097, 116).
The body is a string of characters in the ASCII range 032-255. Control characters other than <CR>
(carriage return; ASCII 013) and <BS> (back space; ASCII 008) in a command line are ignored.
The terminator is <CR>.
There is no distinction between upper-case and lower-case characters. A command line can have a
maximum length of 80 characters. It is automatically discarded if the input is longer. Corrections are
made
AT command is case-insensitive, following /r/n for end code.
The default baud rate is 9600 one stop bit and no parity
4.2 Command mode
When P23 (pin 34 of BT600) is pulled high, it is set to AT command mode. In AT command mode, the host
processor communicates with the processor on BT600.

4.3 Data Mode
When P23 (pin 34 of BT600) is pulled low, it is set to data mode. In data model, BT600 provides transparent
data transfer between the host processor and a remote device, for example, a smartphone.
