1. OVERVIEW
The EvalKit PAN4570 allows evaluation of the wireless module PAN4570.
For a basic hardware evaluation the test software Ember Range Test Application V2.0
and the Ember
can be used for loading other applications via the serial cable to PAN4570, for example
the EmberZNet sample application “simple-lighting”.
For more information see chapter 9.3.
1.1. CONTENTS OF THE EVALUATION KIT:
- 2 x ISM RF Transceiver Testboards
- 2 x PAN4570 mounted on a carrierboard
- 2 x 2,45GHz antennas with male SMA plugs
- 2 x RS-232 cables
- 2 x battery adaptors with cable for d. c. power supply
- 1 x CD with software and documentation
1.2. HARDWARE NEEDED

Important: To install and run the programs you need Administrator rights on the test PC.
Check for software updates at www.Ember.com
2. SETTING UP THE EVALBOARD
Plug a PAN4570 Carrierboard on one of the three 34-pins headers (B or C or D) as
shown in Figures 1 and 2. Please take care that pin 1 of the Carrierboard connects to
pin1 of the testboard according to the “1” marking on the PCBs.
Important: Only 1 PAN4570 carrierboard may be plugged on the testboard.
The other 34-pin headers/sockets are provided for demo application boards like sensors,
actuators, etc. On slot A a socket is mounted instead of double pin rows for applications
using a plug with pins. For details on the testboard see chapter 3 and the testboard
schematic in chapter 10.
Mount the 50Ohms 2,4GHz antenna with SMA male plug on the PAN4570 carrierboard
SMA socket.
Check if a Vcc=+2,7Vdc module supply jumper is set to the corresponding 2-pin header
(B or C or D).
Remark: Instead of a jumper an amperemeter for measuring the module current on VCC
can be connected to the module supply 2-pin header. In this case the voltage drop at the
amperemeters internal resistor reduces the Vcc voltage applied to PAN4570 depending
on the current drawn. Therefore check if the amperemeter used has an internal
resistance of sufficiently low value.
As an option a +5Vdc regulated voltage is available on the 34-pins headers (this does not
apply to usage of USB as power supply).
Important: Do not connect the +5Vdc directly to PAN4570 because it may damage the
Module.
The reason for the +5Vdc option are applications needing a higher supply voltage (i.e.
with white LEDs). In order to use +5Vdc on the headers it has to be connected by
plugging a jumper to position JP2.
The total available current from Vcc plus the current from +5Vdc is approximately 270mA
maximum, provided that the power source voltage applied to P1-P2-P3 does not drop
below approximately 6,6Vdc.
For the location of switches and jumpers on the Evaluation board see chapter 3

4. OPERATION OF THE TESTBOARD
If not already done please follow the basic setting up instructions as in Chapter 2
Check if the jumper plugs are set as indicated in Figure 2. The functions of the jumpers
are as follows:
jumper
me
function to set as in Figure 2
A Vcc for position A do not care
B Vcc for module at position B* do not care
C Vcc for module at position C* yes
D Vcc for module at position D* do not care
JP2 5Vdc feed to Slots A, B, C, D** no
JP3

Vcc setting 2.1-2.7-3.4V;
see Table 2
Vcc regulator output feed
to A, B, C, D
no for
Vcc=2.7Vdc default
yes for
Vcc=2.7Vdc default
yes
(Table 1)
* Position C is used as an example, position B or D could be used as well.
An amperemeter for measuring module current can be inserted instead of the jumper
** +5Vdc supply (independent on JP3 and JP4 settings) option is provided for application
demos. The +5Vdc supply is NOT used on PAN4570 carrierboard.
Check if the port switches S1 near to the COM2 connector for RS232 are all set to off
position except the selected UART as noted in Figure 2/Table 3.
5. POWER SUPPLY
5.1. D.C. POWER FROM A POWER SUPPLY
REV.

Set the power switch SW7 to the position 2 = off.
Connect a power supply with 7-9VDC to one of the power inputs (P1 or P2).
In case of P1 use a plug with 5,5mm diameter and the positive terminal at the centre
contact.
