About This Document
This document provides an introduction on configuration and operation of the ProBee-ZE10 ZigBee OEM
module. This document assumes the user is using the ZE10 starter kit for evaluation hence the pictures
and configuration examples shown in this document are all based on the ZE10 starter kit.
This document does not provide full detail of the hardware specifications. Please refer to the ProBee-
ZE10 data sheet for further references on the hardware design.
1.2
Overview
The ProBee-ZE10 is an all-in-one ZigBee OEM module with integrated ZigBee core and radio/antenna
circuits together with high level software library. Using the ZE10, OEM manufacturers can easily and cost-
effectively integrate ZigBee functionality into target products in timely manner.
The ZE10 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 ZE10 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 ZE10 provides high performance and robust data
transfer capability for wide range of applications. The ZE10 can transfer data at up to 250 kbps and reach
up to 1.6 km (0.99 miles) outdoor line-of-sight.
