| Frequency | 60 GHz (millimeter wave) |
| Technology | Pulsed coherent radar |
| Sensing range | 10 cm to 10 meters (adjustable) |
| Detection angle | 17 degrees (conical beam) |

| Accuracy | ±5 cm (typical) |
Detection Capabilities
| Capability | Value |
|---|---|
| Output | Binary occupancy status (occupied/unoccupied) |
| Distance measurement | Yes (reported in data payload) |
| Object counting | No (presence detection only) |
| Motion detection | Detects both moving and stationary objects |
| Reflectivity requirements | Detects typical vehicles, trailers, large equipment |
Detection Cone Coverage

Battery Specifications
Battery Type
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Chemistry | Thionyl chloride lithium (LS33600) |
| Voltage | 3.6V nominal |
| Capacity | 19 Ah |
| Replaceability | Non-replaceable |
| Expected lifespan | Up to 10 years (typical usage) |
Battery Life Estimates
Based on measurement intervals:
| Configuration | Measurement Interval | Expected Battery Life |
|---|---|---|
| Parking default | 30 seconds | ~10 years |
| Loading dock default | 60 seconds | ~10+ years |
| Low-power custom | 5 minutes | 15+ years (estimated) |
| Heavy router usage | (Varies - relaying packets) | 7-10 years |
Factors affecting battery life:
- Measurement frequency (more measurements = faster drain)
- Transmission frequency (more reports = faster drain)
- Mesh network role (routers relay packets, consume more power)
- Environmental temperature (extreme cold reduces capacity)
End of Life
Battery is non-replaceable. When battery depleted (after ~10 years), sensor has reached end of life and must be replaced with new unit.
