This article details how to add a cabinet door switch sensor to a Carmanah StreetHub or Applied Information (AI) equipped system.
Product applicability
The following products are compatible with the cabinet door switch sensor:
- G Series: SC315-G, R820-G, R829-G and R247-G
- SpeedCheck: SPEEDCHECK-12-HUB (equipped with cabinet only), SPEEDCHECK-15-HUB and SPEEDCHECK-18-HUB
Installation instructions
In January 2020, Carmanah partnered with Applied Information (AI) to integrate their remote connectivity solution into the manufacturing of Carmanah's beacon and sign portfolio. Known as StreetHub, we are offering to retrofit existing compatible systems with this remote connectivity, which includes a cabinet door switch.
The switch allows users to see if the power cabinet door has been opened/closed, when these events have occurred, and the current state of the switch. These events are monitored using the Glance platform: glance.appinfoinc.com.
Starting 2020 Q4, the StreetHub inclusive products below will come standard with a door switch installed in the cabinet.
