Radicom Research Inc RB4000 Manuel D’Utilisation

 
Thank you for purchasing Radicom Research’s RB4000 Bluetooth Module. We are 
committed to providing you quality service and technical support. The RB4000 and 
RB4000HM Bluetooth modules are designed to meet OEM’s needs of embedding short-
range wireless data connectivity to their products. The RB4000 family offers a quick and 
simple solution for wireless point-to-point Bluetooth communications. 
 
The RB4000 series are Class 2 Bluetooth modules using BlueCore4-External Chipset 
from CSR, the leader in Bluetooth chipsets.  These embedded modules are Bluetooth 
V.2.0 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) compliant that increase throughput, reduce battery 
consumption and improve security.  It provides faster pairing and allows superior 
performance in the presence of interference from 802.11 WiFi wireless devices and other 
2.4GHz radios.  
 
The RB4000 series has 8Mbits flash memory on board for upgrading the modules 
firmware.  OEM specific parameters and settings can be loaded into these modules.  
Radicom can modify the firmware to meet OEM requirements and create custom 
Bluetooth functionality to meet your specific needs. 
 
The RB4000 Series supports Serial Port Profile functionality for setting up virtual serial 
ports on two devices (e.g. PCs) and connecting the two devices using the RB4000 
Bluetooth modules to emulate a RS232 serial cable between the two devices.  
 
There are 4 models available, RB4000, H4000CE, RB4000HM-a, and RB4000HM-c. 
The RB4000 and H4000CE are surface mount PCB Bluetooth modules with on-board 
antenna. The RB4000 and H4000CE are identical except for the name that was changed 
for marketing reasons. The RB4000HM-a is serial through-hole Bluetooth module with 
an on board antenna. The RB4000HM-c is serial through-hole Bluetooth module with an 
U.FL connector for an external antenna to provide the flexibility for placing antennas in a 
desired location. For evaluation purposes we offer kits for both the onboard and external 
antenna versions of the modules. Each kit will include one each SPP-A Initiator and SPP-
B Acceptor Bluetooth module installed into carrier boards with a RS232 Serial connector. 
Upon receipt of the Evaluation kits, the user can immediately connect the carrier boards 
to any standard serial port to evaluate the Bluetooth modules.
