Neuron Signal Lamp

General Description

The Neuron Signal Lamp is an easy-to-use device that provides a clear visual notification whenever a rule is triggered on a Neuron sensor. It can be linked to a single rule or to multiple rules across several sensors. This ensures that personnel on the shop floor receive instant notifications without needing to access the Neuron App or other connected systems.

Thanks to its wireless connectivity, the Neuron Signal Lamp is simple to install. It is supplied with a plug for connection to a 240 VAC outlet, but can also be hardwired to a permanent 240 VAC power supply.

Principle of Operation

The Neuron Signal Lamp includes a Neuron Actuator. The Neuron Actuator communicates wirelessly with a Neuron Gateway, which in turn connects the device to the Neuron Cloud. Using the Neuron App, you can easily connect the Neuron Actuator to a notification channel. This channel is assigned as the receiver of one or more rules from Neuron sensors, and when those rules are triggered, the Neuron Signal Lamp is activated.

The Actuator can be in two modes:

1) When a rule is triggered, the lamp activates and remains on until it is manually reset in the Neuron App. This ensures that the alert is acknowledged by personnel before the signal lamp is deactivated.

2) When a rule is triggered, the lamp activates for a predefined duration and then automatically switches off.

Features

Choose between two modes: light-on functionality or timer functionality with adjustable activation time. Configuration is done in the Neuron App.
The Neuron Signal Lamp includes and is operated by a Neuron Actuator, which can be easily connected to the system using the QR code on the actuator. This ensures immediate and accurate registration in the app on your phone, PC, or tablet.
The actuator communicates with your nearby Neuron Gateway, which in turn communicates with the Neuron Cloud.

Installation

Place elevated with distance to fixed objects

Keep antenna clear off the metallic surface

Neuron sensors are ready for use out of the box and will start logging data after registering the sensor in the app. Even though Neuron sensors deliver great range and long battery life, following some simple guidelines for mounting of the sensor and gateway can greatly improve signal coverage and lifetime of the sensor.

To ensure optimal antenna performance and signal strength, the sensor should be placed elevated with some distance to fixed objects. Keep in mind that RF-signals are greatly affected by close metallic surfaces.

For sensors with an external antenna, the antenna should be clear off the metallic surface.

For sensors operating in environments with greatly varying temperatures, care should be taken to avoid putting the sensor in unnecessary stress. Very high or low temperatures will affect the battery life and the signal strength of the sensor. While some sensors must be close to the source of heat or cold, other sensors have external probes which allow the sensor to be placed at a distance.

Fastening
The small, compact blue Neuron sensors are fitted with fastening holes for use with cable ties. The sensors are also delivered with double-sided tape that may be used for fastening of the sensors.

All the black Neuron sensors, like the Neuron IR380 and Neuron Vibration, are fitted with a strong magnet at the back for easy fastening. If there is no magnetic surface, then double-sided tape is a good solution.
