Complete Batteryless/Wireless Security Solution Introduced by EnOcean & Ad Hoc Electronics.


BOSTON & LINDON, Utah Lindon is a city in Utah County, Utah, United States. The population was 8,363 at the 2000 census. By 2004 its population had been estimated to increase slightly to 8,489. Geography
Lindon is located at  (40.338552, -111.
 -- EnOcean, Inc., global pioneer in energy-harvesting wireless technologies, has partnered with Ad Hoc For this purpose. Meaning "to this" in Latin, it refers to dealing with special situations as they occur rather than functions that are repeated on a regular basis. See ad hoc query and ad hoc mode.  Electronics to enable its award-winning self-powered magnetic proximity sensor for retro-fit security installations. The combination of Ad Hoc's new LVRX-4 low-voltage relay receiver and the STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscope) A microscope that can image down to the atomic level. An STM uses a piezoelectric tube with a tiny sharp tip at the end that is moved within nanometers of the object being sampled. 250 system enables home and building owners to enhance their existing entry/exit security equipment using reliable wireless, battery-free sensors.

This unique collaboration of self-powered window/door contact switch with relay receiver box lets users add security coverage to additional rooms, remodels, unattached buildings, even cabinets or movable assets within those buildings. Installation is simple: the LVRX-4 receiver is plugged into an open input on the security control panel, while the self-powered STM250 magnetic proximity sensor and transmitter are integrated into the monitoring point. The magnetic contacts attach via tape or screws, just like conventional contacts.

"Last fall, EnOcean took the security market by storm, with our pioneering introduction of magnetic contact technology that required absolutely no wires and no batteries," said Jim O'Callaghan, Vice President of EnOcean. "However, the product was designed specifically for integration with new products. Now, LVRX-4 makes STM250 suitable for use with existing products and systems. The LVRX-4 allows the STM250 wireless security sensors to be used to extend nearly any new or existing security installation."

"Ad Hoc brings years of RF experience and a thorough understanding of security and home automation to the STM250 product equation," added Jan Finlinson, Vice President of Ad Hoc Electronics. "By combining our LVRX-4 with the maintenance-free STM250 system, EnOcean promises its customers in the security industry dependable operation for decades to come."

STM250 Overview

Packed into a small 110 x 19 x 15 mm device - similar to a standard doorbell - STM250 is a solar-powered, magnet-contact sensor combined with an embedded Inserted into. See embedded system.  RF transmitter. The device requires only ambient indoor light to power itself continuously, as well as to store backup energy for up to six days use in total darkness. It gathers energy via its tiny solar cell solar cell, semiconductor devised to convert light to electric current. It is a specially constructed diode, usually made of silicon crystal. When light strikes the exposed active surface, it knocks electrons loose from their sites in the crystal. , which generates enough output power to communicate throughout an entire house.

The unit's wireless transmitter will send a signal up to 300 meters outdoors or 30 meters indoors. To ensure dependable communication, STM250's suite of sophisticated RF protocols includes multiple broadcasts, fast data rates, error detection and unique addressing. Signals are transmitted immediately when the contact is opened or closed. A periodic presence signal is sent to indicate that the node is operating properly.

LVRX-4 Overview

LVRX-4 is a four-channel low voltage Low voltage is an electrical engineering term that broadly identifies safety considerations of an electricity supply system based on the voltage used. While different definitions exist for the exact voltage range covered by "low voltage", the most commonly used ones include "mains  relay receiver device used to connect wireless switches and sensors to existing security systems. The 130 x 70 x 29 mm unit communicates via the 868MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc.  RF band and attaches to the sensor input terminals of existing security control panels. Status LEDs reassure the user that security signals are constantly being received.

LVRX-4's relay output channels continuously mirror the status of STM250. The relays can be linked either to magnetic proximity door or window sensors, or to wall-mounted or handheld push switches. LVRX-4 connects to STM250 with a simply ID-learn-sequence that stores transmitter Ids in EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM) A rewritable memory chip that holds its content without power. Although EEPROMs spawned flash memory, EEPROMs are byte addressable at the write level, whereas flash chips must erase a block of bytes before rewriting. , so that the LVRX-4 knows which devices are connected to which relay output. Each output can be controlled by up to 15 transmitters.
