Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk Automated Gates & Barriers further support professionals in the sector numerous advanced functions have been implemented. BlueForce Smart Pro automatically sends the data to the remote server, accessing the Web platform created specifically for operators in the sector, who will be able to assign the measurements made on-site, directly in the Microtronics “BlueForce Cloud” portal which chronologically collects all the measurements sent. In addition to the data of the measurements made on-site, BlueForce Smart Pro sends further information, such as the physical orientation of the instrument (horizontal/vertical) and the GPS geographical location. The hardware has also been further strengthened, the processor is faster and the battery is now rechargeable lithium-ion. The Smart Pro functions have also been updated, for each measurement, it is now possible to assign the reference of the measuring point “in situ” and it is also possible to obtain the evaluation of the parameters according to the EN12453 standard (test passed / not passed). The previous features have been preserved and it is now possible to use the instrument in stand-alone mode: thanks to the built-in display, the internal memory and the practical BlueForce software supplied, which allows you to download the tests carried out and create the print reports of the measurements. New Smart Pro Features IoT (Internet of Things) connectivity: • Direct sending of measurements to the Microtronics web server via the integrated sim card. • Real-time visualization of the graph of the measurements made on the Microtronics web portal, with any device without the use of the App! • Number of force tests that can be stored in the cloud server: practically unlimited! • Direct import of force tests into the online guided Risk Analysis. Geolocation (GPS/GNSS): Location detection via integrated GPS, force measurements are automatically associated with the address of the test site. Instrument positioning detection (accelerometer): Detection of the direction of measurement of the force: automatic recognition of the orientation of the instrument (vertical, horizontal left, horizontal right) to facilitate the association of the tests with the corresponding type of door and the corresponding measuring point. Note of the positioning of the measurements made on the instrument: For each measuring point, it is possible to match the measurement made to the corresponding point on the door (as described by the standards and represented by the reminder pictograms) Automatic evaluation of the parameters of the measurement carried out: According to the EN12453 standard it is possible to set the immediate evaluation of the measurements on the instrument (the incorrect parameters are highlighted by a flashing together with an acoustic signal) Continuous dynamometric measurement function: It is possible to use the instrument to test the push force related e.g. to panic bars, using the additional dynamometer measurement function. Processor Firmware: Wireless instrument software update via the web with automatic download from a remote server. Wireless Thermal Printer: Print short test reports in receipt format directly on site with the practical wireless FTP thermal printer (optional). Rechargeable batteries (Li-Ion): BlueForce Smart Pro is also more environmentally friendly than its predecessor, thanks to the new USB rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
