1. Introduction

1.1. Purpose& Description

DSM-103 is a low-power embedded Z-WAVE module. It is composed of a highly integrated wireless chip EFR32ZG23A020F512GM40-C and some peripheral devices, and supports Z-WAVE and Z-WAVE long range protocols.

The product has two antenna connection methods. The default is IPEX socket connection method, and it can also be extended to the motherboard through the port.

4. Antenna

4.1. Antenna type

uses an onboard PCB antenna or Ipex antenna.

4.2. Antenna interference reduction

To ensure optimal Z-WAVE performance when the module uses an onboard PCB antenna, it is recommended that the antenna be at least 5 mm away from other metal parts.
To prevent an adverse impact on the antenna radiation performance, avoid copper or traces along the antennaarea on the PCB.

  • SMT placement equipment: Reflow soldering machine Automated optical inspection (AOI) equipment Nozzle with a 6 mm to 8 mm diameter
  • Baking equipment: Cabinet oven Anti-static heat-resistant trays Anti-static heat￾resistant gloves
  • Storage conditions for a delivered module are as follows: The moisture-proof bag is placed in an environment where the temperature is below 30℃ and the relative humidity is lower than 70%. The shelf life of a dry-packaged product is six months from the date when the product is packaged and sealed.

The package contains a humidity indicator card (HIC).

  • Bake a module based on HIC status as follows when you unpack the module package: If the 30%, 40%, and 50% circles are blue, bake the module for 2 consecutive hours. If the 30% circle is pink, bake the module for 4 consecutive hours.
    If the 30% and 40% circles are pink, bake the module for 6 consecutive hours.
    If the 30%, 40%, and 50% circles are pink, bake the module for 12 consecutive hours.
  • Baking settings:
    Baking temperature: 125±5℃
    Alarm temperature: 130℃
    SMT placement ready temperature after natural cooling: < 36℃
    Number of drying times: 1
    Rebaking condition: The module is not soldered within 12 hours after baking.
  • Do not use SMT to process modules that have unpacked for over three months.
    Electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) is used for the PCBs. If the solder pads are exposed to the air for over three months, they will be oxidized severely and dry joints or solder skips may occur. Dusun is not liable for such problems and consequences.
  • Before SMT placement, take electrostatic discharge (ESD) protective measures.
    To reduce the reflow defect rate, draw 10% of the products for visual inspection and AOI before first SMT placement to determine a proper oven temperature and component placement method. Draw 5 to 10 modules every hour from subsequent batches for visual inspection andAOI.

7. Recommended oven temperature curve

7.1. Reflow soldering temperature profile

Perform SMT placement based on the following reflow oven temperature curve. The highest temperature is 245℃.
Based on the IPC/JEDEC standard, perform reflow soldering on a module at most twice.
