GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1
Basic functionality
PTM 216Z enables the realization of energy harvesting wireless switches for systems com-
municating based on the Generic Switch model of the 2.4 GHz Zigbee
®
Green Power stand-
ard.
PTM 216Z is mechanically compatible with the established PTM 21x form factor enabling
quick integration into a wide range of designs. Key applications are wall-mounted or porta-
ble switches either with up to two rockers or up to four push buttons.
PTM 216Z pushbutton transmitters are self-powered (no batteries) and fully maintenance-
free. They can therefore be used in all environments including locations that are difficult to
reach or within hermetically sealed housings. The required energy is generated by an elec-
tro-dynamic energy transducer actuated by an energy bow located on the left and right of
the module. This energy bow which can be pushed from outside the module by an appro-
priate pushbutton or switch rocker.
When the energy bow is pushed down or released, electrical energy is created and a
2.4GHz radio telegram according to the Zigbee Green Power standard is transmitted. This
radio telegram transmits the operating status of all four contact nipples at the moment
when the energy bow was pushed down or released. PTM 216Z telegrams are protected
with an AES-128 signature based on a device-unique private key.
