Weatherproof Industrial Beacons for Warehouses | Marvelmind

0:00 Hello, everyone. Today I'll be taking a look at our new set of industrial beacons, namely the Industrial-RX and TX. Like in other videos, I'll also be drawing some comparisons to previous models like the Beacon HW v4.9 and Mini-RX. As you might have guessed from the name, the Industrial-RX and TX are intended for industrial purposes. By that I mean non-office-like situations. When, for example, your forklift works both indoors and outdoors, factors like temperature changes, rain, and dust will not break the beacon. While the beacons are IP67 rated, I would still like to emphasize that the beacons are not meant to work in the rain. What the rating means is that water and dust will not damage the device. Now, what's good about the industrial beacons compared to the v4.9 and Mini-RX? First of all, all of the sensors are protected in these versions. The sensors are covered.

0:58 The special membrane in this version is even more durable with metal sensors. Another plus is the external antenna, which the Mini-RX doesn't have. This allows the industrial beacons to work in 433 megahertz frequency. In addition is 915. Finally, the industrial beacons are equipped with several interface options. First of all, you have USB through a special cable, then virtual UART over USB. You are at 3.3 volt and RS-485. Optionally, you can choose to replace RS-485 with CAN. The industrial beacon supports an external battery. It gives you flexibility as you can have a larger or smaller battery based on your needs. Another option is an IP67 rated power converter. Although we do have the battery as an option, we still recommend

1:56 using a fixed power supply, especially in low temperatures, because battery life is significantly reduced. So if it's possible, use the fixed external power source. In terms of sensitivity, the Mini-RX is similar to the industrial RX. Like we mentioned previously, the Mini-RX can only receive and the Mini-TX only transmit. The same goes for the industrial RX and TX. This separation allows the RX to receive better than the v4.9 and the TX to transmit better. We have several versions of the industrial TX available: the standard 31 and 25 kilohertz, plus 19 and 45 kilohertz for Inverse Architecture. More frequencies could be available in the future, but this is the current line. To sum everything up, the industrial set is a very protected model for harsher conditions. It's completely filled with a special compound, which makes it really well protected from water and dust. It's

2:54 significantly bigger and heavier than other models—around 200 grams. We're also currently testing out explosion-protected versions, which will be commercially available on request. Later, once again, if you have any questions, take a look at our forum, reader manual, and check out other videos on this channel. You can also drop us an email at info at Marvelmind.com. Thank you for your attention, and see you in the next video.
