Wireless motion detector

Wireless motion detector

Item nr. W36 Category
The wireless motion detector, or distance sensor, is a sonar device that emits ultrasonic pulses, which reflect off an object. The sensor measures the time it takes an ultrasonic pulse to travel from the sensor to the object and determines the distance from the object based on the measured time and the speed of sound. The minimum range of the sensor is 0.15 m and the maximum range is 6 m.

Description

The sensor can be used wirelessly via Bluetooth or wired via USB with the Coach 7 or Coach 7 lite programs/apps on computers (Windows and Mac), Chromebooks and mobile devices (Android and iOS).
The sensor is equipped with an OLED color display which shows some sensor information and the measured by the sensor values. This makes the sensor suitable to use as an independent measuring instrument.
