Sensor PhilX
for large containers 1
The PhilX sensor has been specially developed for use in level measurement in large containers. Optimized antenna performance enables use in closed containers and in underfloor areas without the use of an external antenna. The large battery capacity ensures an average service life of 5 years. Emptying detection, temperature warning and various mounting options make the PhilX a real all-rounder in the field of level measurement.
FILL LEVEL MEASUREMENT
The PhilX sensor uses an optical measuring principle to measure the fill level. A so-called Time of Flight (ToF) sensor determines the distance to the waste using infrared light. A larger area is covered, so
inhomogeneous surfaces are captured and averaged for good fill level representation.
COLLECTIONS
Using a built-in acceleration sensor, the PhilX can automatically determine the collections of containers emptied by crane. The intelligent function determines the filling quantities before and after the collection event and thus enables the exact recording of the recovered quantities.
CONNECTIVITY
The PhilX reliably transmits data via the mobile network using the narrow bands LTE CatM1 and NB-IoT. The excellent coverage ensures flawless transmission throughout Europe and in large parts of the rest of the world.
GEOPOSITION
The PhilX level sensor is designed for stationary applications as standard; a GPS antenna can be added as an option. Localization of the sensors via the mobile phone network is included as standard, which enables the approximate location to be determined with an accuracy of 1 to 2 kilometers, depending on the transmission mast configuration.
TEMPERATURE
The PhilX sensor has a temperature tower measurement, which continuously records the temperatures together with the fill level values. Unique in the field of level sensors is the option of a real-time temperature warning. The PhilX is triggered when a configurable limit temperature is reached and a warning is sent immediately.
CONFIGURATION
The sensor is conveniently configured via the adhoc smart waste platform. The intervals for level measurement and data transmission can be freely selected. Furthermore, limit value transmissions for fill levels and temperatures can be defined in order to receive immediate notifications in the event of certain occurrences.
BATTERY
The PhilX is equipped with a rechargeable battery and is designed for a battery life of 5 years. Depending on the signal strength at the location, the runtime can be positively or negatively impacted. The battery charge level is displayed in the platform and a notification is sent as soon as the battery level is low.
ASSEMBLY
The PhilX has integrated M5 threads and can be screwed on directly. Additional openings enable quick installation using cable ties. Various holders for attaching the sensor at angles from 20 to 90° as well as special holders for using adhesives are available as accessories.
