Apollon-Q PP General Description

1. General Description

The Apollon-Q PP is a specialized variant of the Apollon-Q series, designed for real-time presence and state detection in logistics and industrial settings. It can monitor up to four configurable zones, with adjustable measurement frequencies of up to several hertz. An integrated accelerometer can trigger measurements on demand, helping save energy. Typical uses include detecting goods in shelves or identifying open doors and flaps. The sensor combines an optimized range with short measurement and transmission intervals, offers extensive configuration options, and supports MIOTY®, NB-IoT, LoRaWAN®, and LTE-CAT-M1.

2. About the Apollon‑Q Series

The Apollon‑Q PP is part of the Apollon‑Q sensor family, which combines the series' proven durability and connectivity with features tailored for precise presence detection.

The Apollon‑Q series comprises wireless IoT level sensors that deliver high‑quality measurement results using a unique complementary measuring principle. Each sensor combines optical measurement with radar technology and supports level measurements up to 2.50 meters.

Whether measuring solid objects, liquids, or bulk materials, Apollon-Q devices provide precise, reliable results for applications such as container, shaft, and duct monitoring.

They also perform accurately in small containers, including waste bins. With optimized range, short measurement and transmission intervals, and advanced functionality, the series supports leading communication standards such as MIOTY®, NB IoT, LoRaWAN®, and LTE-CAT-M1.
