1 Introduction
1.1 About This Document
This document provides an introduction on configuration and operation of the ProBee-ZS10 ZigBee Serial
Adapter. This document assumes the user is using the ZS10 adapter for evaluation hence the pictures
and configuration examples shown in this document are all based on the ZS10 adapter.
This document does not provide full detail of the hardware specifications. Please refer to the ProBee-
ZS10 data sheet for further references on the hardware design.
1.2 Overview
The ProBee-ZS10 is an all-in-one ZigBee Serial Adapter with integrated ZigBee core and radio/antenna
circuits together with high level software library.
The ZS10 Serial Adapter is designed to meet specific requirements of low cost and low power wireless
applications such as Home Automation, Smart Energy, Health care, Building Automation and Telecom
Services by adopting the ZigBee technology.
Despite of its low cost and low power consumptions, the ZS10 provides high performance and robust data
transfer capability for wide range of applications. The ZS10 can transfer data at up to 250 kbps and reach
up to 1.6 km (1 mile) outdoor line-of-sight.
