The dimensions of these modules are 27 x 27 x 14mm.

The ESD200 and ESD210 are Class 2 type Bluetooth modules.

Nominal transmit distance is 30m and can be extended up to 300m (ESD210) using the optional patch antenna.

The dimensions of these modules are 18 x 20 x 11.7mm.

Each unit can be configured and controlled by using typical AT comments.

Further, a configuration utility is included, which allows custom configuration of settings such as serial port parameters, flow control, baud rate, connectable mode, discoverable mode and security.

The benefits of integrating Bluetooth wireless capabilities include: eliminating cable installation cost, reduce installation and setup, while adding wireless device monitoring and diagnostics.
