Neuron Open/Closed

The Neuron Open/Closed is a small and compact magnetic sensor suited to monitor status of doors, windows and gates among others. Area of use is an overview and notification of both unwanted and other traffic in doors and windows, as well as control of whether doors, windows and other mechanical devices have the desired position. The sensor is attached with double-sided tape or strips.

Experience how easy it is to get started and the huge benefits of our simple and practical IoT solutions.

General Description

The Neuron Open/Closed is an energy efficient solution for measuring opening state for doors, windows, gates, enclosure lids etc. The sensor is attached with double-sided tape or strips

Due to wireless transmission of the signal, it is also easy and timesaving to install.

 

Principle of Operation

The Neuron Open/Closed measures the state every 3 seconds. If the state has changed more since the last transmission, the sensor reports immediately. Otherwise, it reports every 2 minutes.

 

Features

  • Long life battery – up to 10 years lifetime
  • Continuous measurement and instant alarm
  • Adjustment of parameters such as measurement frequency on request
  • Define your own alarm levels in the Neuron app
  • Receive alerts as push notifications, emails or SMS
  • Easily connect the sensor to the system with the QR- code on the sensor. Ensures immediate and accurate registration in the app on your phone/PC/tablet
  • The sensor transmits data to your nearby Neuron Gateway which then again communicates with the Neuron Cloud

 

Typical Applications

  • Monitor doors and windows
  • Position of industry gates
  • Roof windows
  • Count change in position

Installation

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 Open/Closed sensor comes with a magnet and to ensure proper function the installation must be done correctly. It is important that the magnet is in proximity of the sensor but also at the correct side of the sensor. See illustrations to the left . Deviance from this positioning will decrease the maximum distance you can have between sensor and magnet.
