Wireless M-GAGE Node
Wireless M-GAGE Node
Key Features
- Internal, three-axis magnetoresistive-based technology senses three-dimensional changes to the Earth’s magnetic field caused by the presence of ferrous objects
- Designed to minimize the effects of temperature change &fluctuating magnetic fields
- Sensor learns ambient background & stores settings in non-volatile memory
- FlexPower technology driven by a single, primary lithium battery integrated into the housing
- Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology & Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) RF communication & control architectures combine to ensure reliable data delivery within the unlicensed Industrial, Scientific, a & Medical (ISM) frequency bands
- Transceivers provide two-way communication between the Gateway & Node, including fully acknowledged data transmission
- Lost RF links are detected & relevant outputs set to user-defined conditions
- Fully potted & sealed housing contains the power source, sensor, & antenna for a completely wireless solution
- Includes accessories such as surface mount housing, flush mount embedded housing & possible replaceable battery packs - depending on model
The M-GAGE sensor uses a passive sensing technology to detect large ferrous objects. The sensor measures the change in the Earth's natural magnetic field (ambient magnetic field) caused by the introduction of a ferromagnetic object. The M-GAGE provides an alternative replacement for inductive loop systems and needs no external control box. Its unique design allows quick installation within a core hole.
