The ICPROX-ANT is the radio module through which an ICPROX vehicle perceives its surroundings. Using ultra-wideband radio it measures the distance to every tag within range — accurate to roughly ten centimetres, without a camera and without requiring a clear line of sight.

Up to three modules on one vehicle additionally provide the direction a person is approaching from. The module adapts itself to the line it is connected to; there is nothing to set on the device.

Features​

  • Distance measurement to ±10 cm at ranges of up to 30 m
  • Works through racking and walls, and in dust, steam and darkness
  • One module gives distance, three give distance and direction
  • Recognises automatically whether it acts as a locating antenna or as the infrastructure link
  • Connection and power through one single cable to the control unit
  • Compact industrial housing, IP65 — no camera, no recording of personal data

Getting started​

  1. Decide on the number of modules: one for the direction of travel, three for all-round detection.
  2. Choose a position high up with a clear view outwards, at least about 10 cm away from large metal surfaces.
  3. Bolt the housings firmly in place and note their orientation.
  4. Wire all modules to the antenna line of the ICPROX-CPU — no separate power supply is needed.
  5. Switch on and enter the mounting position of each module in the web interface, then verify with a personal tag.

Mounting advice, the two operating modes and troubleshooting are described in full in the manual.
