Note：
1．The module transmission data rate will affect Transmission distance ,the higher the data rate , the closer the
distance, and the lower the receiving sensitivity.
2．The supply voltage to the module will affect TX power, in the operating supply voltage range, the lower the
voltage, the lower the TX power.
3．The module central frequency will change as the operating temperature change, use it under suggest temperature,
the module can work well.
4．The antenna will strongly affect the communication distance, please select matched antenna and connect it
correctly.
5．The module mount will affect the communication distance.

Antenna
VT-CC2530PA-Z1 support connect an antenna with an IPEX connector. If there is some more requirement about
use outer antenna, please contact with the sales. Additionally we can coordinate with you to select antenna, match
antenna to the module in order to make the product work well.
Some recommend antennas as the table below.
2.4G antenna（Optional）
Characteristic：small size, good direction,
low cost, embed convenient.
Rubber Duck and Tenon Antenna and IPEX
connector（Optional）
Characteristic：High gain, IPX connector
extending with ultra coaxial cable, easy to
fix.
SMA rubber antenna（Optional）
Characteristic：used with IPX-SMA coaxial
cable, medium-scale, low cost, high gain。
Suit for equipment with iron crust.
Note: optional need another payment and the cost refer to the antenna price. It is not recommend to DIY
soft cable antenna. Because the impedance is difficult to control, and the soft cable’s shape is not fixed to
make it lack of consistency.

Questions and Answers
Description
Reason and Solution
Can’t
communication
1．The power supply connect not well, check the module VCC whether it is out of maximum
rating.
2．The signal line connect not well, check the module SPI interface.
3．The settings of the transmitter module and receiver module are not the same. Check these
modules’ register configuration.
4．Signal block. If the transmitter work with a high TX power, and the receiver was put at a short
distance(<0.5m), maybe there is a signal block to make no communication.
Communication
distance is too
short
1．The application environment is too bad or the antenna is shield. Put the antenna to a better place
outside or higher throw a coaxial line , replace it with a higher gain antenna.
2．The work space contains a same frequency interference source, or a strong magnetic field
interference, power source disturbance. Try to change the carrier frequency or get far away from
the source of the disturbance.
3．The power supply is not strong. Check the voltage and the current whether it is enough.
High data error
1．The power supply ripple is too big, Change the power supply.
2．Check the module register configuration, it is recommended to set as the CC2530-datasheet.
3．There is a carrier frequency interference, change the channel.
4．The antenna unmatched to the module RF interface, change another matched antenna.
