PicoVit – EnOcean® Proximity switch for glass surfaces

• Contactless switching through glass – Hands-Free, hygienic, flexible …
• Plug-n-Play – fast, wire free installation, connected in seconds
• Extremely low energy consumption – environmentally friendly, maintenance free
• Extraneous light independent, self-calibrating, robust, mobile, compatible – broad application field, …

Through a simple “wave“ or „approach” of the hand inside an area of around 15cm distance, the PicoVit can control all possible EnOcean® compatible actuators and their connected devices and consumers.

Connect the EnOcean® products within seconds with each other and place the clever and mobile wireless switches cable-free on any glass surface you like. Now for example, you can control your ambiance lighting with an EnOcean® compatible switchable plug socket from anywhere inside the wireless range of around 30meters, turning them on and off and dim them remotely.

There are countless actuators in a variety of forms (e.g. wall enclosure mounting) that can be connected and “Dotted”. A few examples, and information to the integration possibilities of the PicoVit in alternative non-EnOcean® systems can be found in the sub-menu “Compatibility”.

Energy saving

The PicoVit was especially developed to have an extremely low energy consumption. The calculated life expectancy of the battery with a normal switching cycle of a typical light switch is approximately 70 years. That batteries today have approximately a 20-25 years physical life expectancy, means that the PicoVit will provide a maintenance free service for this duration.

A battery life expectancy to switching cycles comparison table can be found under the sub-menu “Technical Data “.

Extraneous light independence

The PicoVit that recognises a “wave” or “approach” of the hand, can also be operated in full sunlight, because the clever technology can regulate light up to 150,000Lux, which equates to 1.5 times direct sunlight.

Self-calibrating

The optical system is self-calibrating. Once the PicoVit is positioned, surrounding stationary objects will be automatically calibrated out inside 10 seconds, the PicoVit can then be used as normal. Dust and other infrared light invisible “layers” are also calibrated out.
