The wireless & battery-free dry-contact transmitter is designed to detect any change of status in an equipment featuring a potential-free dry contact output: normally open (preferably) or normally closed. This transmitter allows the connection of any device with an on/off status report to the EnOcean protocol where cable connections are neither advised nor possible:
- full stand-alone, the device is powered by the solar cell and operate without maintenance even after a few days in the dark
- a back-up battery can be added to guarantee the continuity of operation even if luminosity is insufficient
- the sensor is equipped with a crimp connector (insulation displacement) and can be unplugged to maximize pairing possibilities with cabled devices
- for security purpose, a report signal is sent every 15 minutes on top of any status change
