EMR Pen Modules: Pen and Sensor, Developed as One Project
A complete pen-input project pairs two things: a battery-free EMR pen and the sensing module underneath the writing surface. Huion has shipped battery-free EMR pens in its B2B signing devices - the PW202 on the DS101S needs no battery or charge, and the PEN57 on the DS1020 and DS1030 combines 4096-level pen pressure with a 233PPS report rate. For OEM and channel projects, the pen and the module can be developed together so the pair is validated as one system. Final specifications are confirmed per project.
Why Develop the Pen and the Module Together
An EMR pen and its sensing module form one system: the sensor board detects the pen's electromagnetic signal, and the pair determines the writing experience. Developing the two together - instead of qualifying a third-party pen against a finished sensor - removes a full round of integration risk.
Huion develops both sides in-house. The company profile states that its self-developed sensing chips progressed from the HV400 in mass production to the fourth-generation HV800 with proprietary IP, and its B2B signing devices ship with battery-free EMR pens qualified at production scale. A pen-plus-module project builds on that same in-house chain.

Battery-Free Pens Proven in B2B Devices
The pens below are qualified with Huion's own signing devices. In a pen-plus-module project, the pen is paired with your module and validated as one system. See also the battery-free EMR stylus overview.
PW202
The digital pen of the DS101S. It needs no battery or charge and combines the advantages of handwriting with digital processing for a lifelike writing experience.
PEN57
The battery-free digital pen of the DS1020 and DS1030, with 4096-level pen pressure and a 233PPS report rate. On the DS1030, EMR technology enables the pen to support long-time service without battery or charging.
PEN57S
The battery-free EMR digital pen of the DS510. It requires no charging and brings great flexibility to signing workflows.
P13
The battery-free EMR digital pen of the DS510S. It requires no charging and brings great flexibility to signing workflows.
Device-paired specification tables for all five pens are on the EMR pen family page.
What Your Project Defines
Because the pen and the module are developed as one project, the specification is written around your device - not selected from a catalog.
- Pen pairing - which battery-free EMR pen platform the project builds on, and how it is shaped for your device.
- Sensing area - matched to your device's writing surface and industrial design.
- Interface and host integration - agreed with your hardware and software team, with SDK and customization support available under Huion's B2B offering.
- Validation - the pen and module are tested together in your device before release.
Final specifications are confirmed per project during the inquiry. Digitizer-module-only projects are also available if your pen choice is already fixed.
Specifications for pen-plus-module projects are confirmed per project. Request the current datasheet and a project proposal at [email protected].
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an EMR pen module project?
A project in which the battery-free EMR pen and the sensing module are developed and validated together as one system, instead of sourcing the two separately.
Which pens can a project build on?
The battery-free EMR pens qualified in Huion's B2B devices: PW202 (DS101S), PEN57 (DS1020, DS1030), PEN57S (DS510) and P13 (DS510S). Pairings are confirmed per project.
Do the pens need batteries or charging?
No. The EMR pens in Huion's B2B devices are battery-free: the PW202 needs no battery or charge, and the PEN57, PEN57S and P13 require no charging, as stated on their device pages.
How do I receive the specifications?
Module and pen specifications are confirmed per project. Send your project brief to [email protected] to request the current datasheet.
Can I source only the digitizer module?
Yes - see the digitizer module inquiry page for module-only projects.
