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.

24. 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

29. 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.

34. 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

35. 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

36. 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

37. 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: %
Brick, pressboard: %
Reinforced concrete: %
Metal : %

44. 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.

46. Wireless Sensor – Recharge
Power sources: Solar or 3.6v lithium battery (5 to 10 year life)
ONGOING: A minimum illumination of 200 lx should be guaranteed at the mounting place for at least 3 to 4 hours daily regardless of whether there is artificial light or daylight, which is sufficient to last for the next 80 hours under dark room conditions.
(Most health / safety workplace standards require a minimum illumination of 500 lux in office workplaces.)
