EnOcean Protocol – The Future Energy harvesting wireless sensors harvest and manage the smallest amount of energy from their environment. EnOcean uses wireless standards optimized for solutions with ultra-low power consumption and energy harvesting. Energy management and highly efficient energy storage are key to wireless technology for battery-less wireless sensor solutions. BACK TO MENU

Wireless Temperature Sensor Transmission frequency: 315 MHz 868.3 MHz (except N. America) 902 MHz Minimum distance from electronics: 1.6 ft (0.6 m) Average line-of-sight transmission range: 315 MHz – 32 feet (10 meters) 868.3 MHz – 65 feet (20 meters) 902 MHz– 100 feet (30 meters) The main factors that influence the system transmission range are: type and location of the antennas of the receiver and the transmitter type of terrain and degree of obstruction of the link path sources of interference affecting the receiver “dead” spots caused by signal reflections from nearby conductive objects

Wireless Receiver Distech Controls’ Open-to-Wireless Wireless Receiver enables controllers to receive input signals from wireless sensors and switches. It is fully compatible with Distech Controls’ LONWORKS® and BACnet® controllers, and uses the EnOcean protocol for communication on either 902MHz, 868.3MHz (except N. America) or 315MHz (legacy). In building retrofits, the Wireless Receiver allows system integrators to use wireless sensors and switches, thereby minimizing impact on building structure and preserving original architecture and materials. Wiring complexities are avoided and any initial design errors can be easily fixed. A new wireless receiver at the 902 MHz frequency was released in 2013 which greatly improves transmission range.

Wireless Transmission Ranges Range is dependent upon many environmental variables that are present in buildings. The published ranges are based on the best conditions, where there are no obstructions creating screening. BACK TO MENU
Transmission Ranges Distech Controls strongly recommends using a field strength (range) tester for finding an optimal mounting place for transmitter and receiver. BACK TO MENU
Field Range Tester: EPM300/300C EPM 300(C) is a mobile device for radio link range testing. It helps electrical installers to find the right position to mount products supporting EnOcean protocol. High – good for all EnOcean receivers/transceivers Low – external antenna or repeater recommended No Installation – installation not recommended Valid signal – a valid EnOcean telegram received or a disturbing signal on same frequency BACK TO MENU
Wireless Transmission Challenges Signal degradation: The angle at which the transmitted signal hits the wall is very important. The effective wall thickness – and with it the signal attenuation – varies according to this angle. Signals should be transmitted as directly as possible through the wall. Wall niches should be avoided. Other factors restricting transmission range: Switch mounted on metal surfaces (up to 30% loss of transmission range) Hollow lightweight walls filled with insulating wool on metal foil False ceilings with panels of metal or carbon fiber Lead glass or glass with metal coating, steel furniture SIGNAL PENETRATION: Wood/gypsum/glass: 90-100% Brick, pressboard: 65-95% Reinforced concrete: 10-90% Metal : 0-10% BACK TO MENU

Wireless Installation Planning BACK TO MENU
Wireless Sensor Restrictions Total illumination should not exceed 1000 lx for long periods. When illuminating the sensor with direct artificial light such as spotlights, the angle of incidence relative to the solar cell should never be too steep. Placing the sensor under direct sunlight must be avoided because it leads to inaccurate temperature measurements caused by the heat from the sunlight. The sensor should be positioned within reception range of the intended controller. An increase in the sending rate of the wireless device will require more energy and thus more illumination.
