The Wireless Proximity Sensor can detect objects that are removed or placed in front of the sensor. When the status is changed, the sensor transmits a signal wirelessly with SecureDataShot™ to a Cloud Connector (Gateway) that again relays a message to a cloud service.
The Wireless Proximity Sensor uses Heartbeat Interval (HBI) to transmit a message notifying the system that it is present and operational, which can be set to 15 min, 30 min, 45 min, or 60 min.
The Wireless Proximity sensor also has touch functionality for simple installation and use.
EU and US variants
This sensor is available in two variants, one for the EU and one for the US, due to different certifications, compliances, and wireless communication.
How does the sensor work?
The sensor detects when an object is placed or removed within 0-5 mm from its front. When the status is changed, an ObjectPresentEvent event is raised.
Presence not distance
The sensors do not measure the distance to an object; it only measures if an object is present or not within 5 mm.
