PRODUCT SAFETY AND ADITIONAL HINTS 

 

 

USB stick should not be exposed to rapid temperature changes shortly before or during 
operation. Condensation of moisture might damage the device. 
 

 

USB stick is not intended to be used in rough environment with heavy vibrations or me-
chanical shocks. 
 

 

The USB stick front cap is used as handling protection during delivery.  
 

 

In order to optimize radio performance use an USB extension cable. 
 

 

Installation location of radio nodes should be carefully planned.  
Application note AN001 at 

http://www.enocean.com/en/application-notes/

  

will explain basic rules. 

 

 

Any USB stick configurations done by ESP3 commands (e.g. repeater on, filter, maturity 
time) will be lost in case of power off. If you need these configurations permanent, 
make sure USB stick has continues power or re-send commands after power down.

 

 

 

USB stick has been designed for usage with DolphinView. For advanced protocol analy-
sis and debugging we recommend the usage of EnOcean Developer Kit with Dol-
phinView Advanced and DolphinSniffer. 

 

 

USB stick has been optimized for cyclic sending/receiving status values and not for con-
tinuous data communication; therefore the radio interface is limited to receive approx. 
90 telegrams per second. Higher traffic can lead to telegram loss. 

 

 

Microsoft Windows increases the COM port number for every installed USB stick (FTDI 
virtual COM port device). If the number reaches 255, you have to reset the device 
driver and follow the instructions from the company FTDI.
