1 Introduction
1.1 About This Document
This document provides an introduction on configuration and operation of the ProBee-ZE20S ZigBee
OEM module. This document assumes the user is using the ZE20S starter kit for evaluation hence the
pictures and configuration examples shown in this document are all based on the ZE20S starter kit.
This document does not provide full detail of the hardware specifications. Please refer to the ProBee-
ZE20S data sheet for further references on the hardware design.
1.2 Overview
The ProBee-ZE20S is an all-in-one ZigBee OEM module with integrated ZigBee core and radio/antenna
circuits together with high level software library. Using the ZE20S, OEM manufacturers can easily and
cost-effectively integrate ZigBee functionality into target products in timely manner.
The ZE20S OEM module is designed to meet specific requirements of low cost and low power wireless
applications such as home automation or smart energy by adopting the ZigBee technology. The ZE20S is
based on the Ember EM250 ZigBee core and fully certified under the latest ZigBee Pro standard for the
maximum compatibility.
Despite of its low cost and low power consumptions, the ZE20S provides high performance and robust
data transfer capability for wide range of applications. The ZE20S can transfer data at up to 250 kbps and
reach up to 1.6 km (0.99 miles) outdoor line-of-sight.
