Feature Description
FireBoard FireBoard S1G Antenna The use of a FireBoard FireBoard S1G Antenna is required for all FireBoard 2 products to communicate with FireBoard-S1G™ enabled hardware. Each FireBoard FireBoard S1G Antenna can support up to 32 Beacons simultaneously.
Long Range, FireBoard-S1G™ low frequency technology The Beacon works in more places and more spaces by using FireBoard-S1G™ Low Frequency Technology. Lower frequencies travel further as well as penetrate walls and other obsticles much easier than high frequencies used by Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. FireBoard-S1G™ can reliably transfer data through dense building materials such as concrete, and masonry making it ideal for large commercial/industrial spaces.
Cold Storage Applictions (Walk in Fridge/Freezer) FireBoard-S1G™ technology allows placement of Beacon temperatrure & humidity sensors easily where they need to be. The Beacon will wirelessly connect through commercial walk in fridge/freezers, coolers, chillers, humidors, etc.
On-Board Temperature & Humidity FireBoard® Beacon is a long range, wireless sensor capable of measuring temperature and humidity. Onboard Temp Range -58°F – 185°F (-50°C – 85°C). Onboard Temp Accuracy +/- 0.4°C. Humidity Sensor Accuracy +/- 4% RH
Remote Monitoring via Link to FireBoard Cloud Link your Beacon and FireBoard FireBoard S1G Antenna equipped FireBoard 2 device to the FireBoard App available on iOS/Android smartphones & other devices to monitor your Beacon sensors from anywhere an internet connection is available.
Integrated with FireBoard App The Beacon sensors are fully integrated in to the FireBoard App with the same monitoring functionality, session data, graphs, and historical information can be accessed easily. The update interval can be configured (30sec, 1min, 5min, 10min) in the app, as well as custom alerts to sound if temps change or move out of range.
External Probe Port The Beacon has a built in (100k Thermistor) probe port to easily connect any of our standard or competition series 100k thermistor type food probes as an additional channel that can be monitored remotely. External Probe Range -58°F – 266°F (-50°C – 130°C)
Replaceable AA Batteries The Beacon is completely stand-alone and is powered Powered by two(2) AA size batteries (Lithium recommended) no wires or chargers to limit mounting locations.
Estimated 2 year battery life We reccomend using the Energizer L91 Lithium battery with the Beacon for the most usage time between changes (approx 2 years). The selected interval between sending updates can shorten/extend battery life, as well as cold enviornments. The two year battery lifetime is an approximation based on our testing with Energizer L91 cells, any other AA batteries or other battery chemistry models have not been tested for longevity.
