Solar-powered wireless sensor module
EnOcean has introduced the STM100, a solar-powered wireless sensor module. Within its custom two-stage solar cell, one stage is said to provide quick startup energy while the other charges an onboard energy reservoir.
Designed to operate indoors, the device requires only 200 lux to
generate energy (typical lighting values in a building range from 200
lux in hallways, 500 lux on desktops and up to 1200 lux in display
cases). The unit is comprised of a solar cell energy source, an energy
reservoir, analog and digital sensor connections, a microprocessor for
sensor control, and, a radio transmitter in a 0.8 x 1.6 x 0.4 in.
footprint. The module stores sufficient energy to operate continuously
for up to five days in complete darkness. With 50 µWs, a standard
EnOcean transmitter will send an RF signal 300 ms outdoors, 30 m
indoors through walls. The signal duration is approximately 1/1000 s.
Units offer 3 analog and 4 digital inputs. The proprietary radio
technology is approved for use in Europe (ETSI), US (FCC) and Canada
(IC).
