1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The radio transmitter device PTM 210 / PTM 210C from EnOcean enables the implementation of wireless remote controls without batteries. Power is provided by a built-in electrodynamic power generator. The PTM 210 / PTM 210C device serves the 868 MHz / 315 MHz
air interface protocol of EnOcean.
(1) Energy bow
on both device sides
(2) Contact nipples

Rotation axis for
pushbuttons or
switch rocker
Electro-dynamic powered radio transmitter device PTM 210
1.1 Basic Functionality
A common electro-dynamic energy transducer is actuated by a bow (1), which can be
pushed from outside the device by an appropriate push button or switch rocker. When the
energy bow is pushed down, electrical energy is created and an RF telegram is tran smitted
including a 32-bit device ID. Releasing the energy bow generates different telegram data,
so every PTM telegram contains the information that the bow was pressed or released.
“Long” or “Short” push button operation (the time between pushing and releasing the
pushbutton) can be easily detected by the receiver. By doing that, applications such as
dimming control or blinds control including slat action are simple to implement.
In addition, the PTM telegram transmits the operating status of the contact nipples (2)
when pressing the bow. This enables the identification of up to 2 appropriate switch rockers
or up to 4 pushbuttons.

1.2 Typical Applications
Building installation
Industrial automation
Consumer electronics
Key applications are wall-mounted flat rocker switches with 1 or 2 rockers, as well as handheld remote controls with up to 4 single pushbuttons. Because the RF transmitters are selfpowered (no batteries), maintenance-free RF systems are possible.
