Installation Guide for P0000457/P0001809 Board Containing the P0000457

External BLE Circuit Limited Module

1. Purpose

The purpose of this document is to provide information on how to use and install a P0000457 or

P0001809 PCB Assembly containing the Enovate Medical External P0000457 BLE Circuit (hereafter called

P0000457 External BLE Circuit) limited module when integrating into an Enovate Medical product such

as an Envoy or Encore workstation. Incorrect integration or use of this module may infringe compliance

rules meaning recertification may be required. The differences between the P0000457 and P0001809

PCB’s, both of which contain the P0000457 External BLE Circuit, is the color of the soldermask (to

associate them with their respective product lines), the part number etched on the board, and the

Software loaded into the board during manufacturing. The differences in the software have to do with

the differences in user interface between the two workstations that these boards are installed in. These

differences are not related to and do not have any impact on the baseband or RF characteristics of the

P0000457 External BLE Circuit. The External BLE Circuit has the P0000457 part number incorporated

because that PCB and its associated product were developed first.

2. Module Description

The P0000457 External BLE Circuit is an RF circuit contained on the P0000457 PCB Assembly (and on the

P0001809 PCB Assembly) developed by Enovate Medical for the purposes of wireless BLE

communications using the proprietary BLE wireless communication standard. The P0000457 External

BLE Circuit provides BLE wireless communications between the end-product that the P0000457 or

P0001809 PCB Assembly is integrated into and another BLE enabled device such as a smartphone,

tablet, BLE Beacon or other BLE-enabled device. The central component in the P0000457 External BLE

Circuit is the Nordic Semiconductor nRF52832 2.4 GHz BLE, proprietary 2.4 GHz and ANT-capable System

on Chip integrated circuit.

3. Integration into Products

The module is primarily designed to be mounted, with appropriate screws, into an Enovate Medical end-

product. Two 60-pin headers on the bottom of the P0000457/P0001809 PCB assembly, J14 and J15,

provide physical connection to a mating PCB which provides power to the PCB which is further regulated

to power the P0000457 External BLE Circuit (reference P0000457/P0001809 Block Diagram). Screws

fasten the P0000457/P0001809 PCB assembly to the mating PCB assembly. Alternatively, the

P0000457/P0001809 PCB assembly can be powered through external DC barrel jack J1 and used without

a mating PCB. Input power from either source needs to be between 4V-15V and capable of delivering

up to 1.5A of current. Any external power supply used with the P0000457 or P0001809 PCB Assembly

shall comply with relevant regulations and standards applicable in the country of intended use.

In either case, the P0000457 External BLE Circuit operates with an attached U.FL to SMA RF cable and SMA dipole “whip” antenna. The P0000457/P0001809 PCB Assembly containing the P0000457 External BLE Circuit, along with connected U.FL to SMA RF cables and the SMA antenna must be placed in a suitable location to ensure the BLE performance is not compromised.

Module & Antenna Placement A separation distance greater than 20cm will always be maintained between the External BLE Circuit antenna and any other radio transmitter if installed in the same product. Depending on intended usage of the P0000457 or P0001809 board, the following ports can / should also be connected using the connectors along the bottom edge of the PCB: Micro USB for Debug USB 2.0 A Host and USB 2.

Appendix A P0000457 External BLE Circuit Configuration And Test Modes 1. 2. 3. 4. Turn on the All-In-One PC. Connect a micro-USB cable from the PC to the Artik P00000457 hardware. Power on the P00000457 hardware. Open Putty application on the All-In-One PC. Set Speed to 115200, and Serial Line to COM#, where # is the COM# of the hardware listed in Device Manager on the PC (see below).

Type minicom -s In minicom setup, enter the following settings: • port /dev/ttySAC5 • Baud 115200, no parity, 1 stop bitF • No hardware flow control 9. Save minicom setup settings and hit enter. 10. Select “Exit” 11. You are now connected to the nRF through UART from the Artik in Radio Test Mode.

The Radio Test app/firmware allows you to configure the radio as a constant RX/TX carrier, modulated TX carrier, and RX/TX sweep. The tests are controlled with simple one-letter commands via the serial port. At any time during the tests, you can set the radio parameters output power, bit rate, and channel. You can also set the time on each channel in sweep mode, in steps of 1 millisecond from 1 millisecond to 99 milliseconds.
