# BeamTracker Technical Specifications

## In the box

BeamTracker and antenna

M12 Connector Power Adapter

Mounting Hardware

(ordered with it)

## Available Mounts

Rotatable Ball Head Mount

(Compatible with any 1/4"-20 thread mount)

L-shaped Bracket

Mount BeamTracker square across the part path, where every good unit passes the beam and nothing else does, within 8 m (26 ft). It bolts on with its mount in 10 to 20 minutes. Step by step in [Install and align BeamTracker](https://www.iotflows.com/docs/hardware/install-beamtracker) and [Calibrate BeamTracker](https://www.iotflows.com/docs/hardware/calibrate-beamtracker).

## Available Cables

M12 5pin A-code Female to Power Adapter

(Available in 2 m length)

M12 5pin A-code Male to Female

(Available in 1 m and 3 m lengths)

## Software

### Smarter laser monitoring for any production line

BeamTracker counts each unit that breaks its laser beam, with ±2% count accuracy, and the time between counts tells when the line runs and when it stops, with no PLC and no wiring into the controls. IoTFlows turns that into part counts and throughput, utilization and running time, downtime with reasons, and history by day, week, month, quarter or year, with alerts and work orders on the web dashboard, the iOS and Android apps and the screens on your floor.

## Accessories

M12 5pin A-code T-type Splitter

Aluminum Alloy

## Durability & Protection

IP67

Dustproof, and protected against immersion to 1 m (3 ft) for 30 minutes.

## Connectivity

Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz only)

4G LTE (through the [IoTFlows 4G/LTE router](https://www.iotflows.com/shop/products/4g-lte-router-ifcr-150), sold separately)

An external screw-on antenna; connect it before powering on. BeamTracker connects out over HTTPS on port 443 and sets up over Bluetooth from the IoTFlows app, started from a QR code on its screen.

## Display

Built-in touchscreen, 2.79 in (71 mm) diagonal

For setup, Wi-Fi provisioning, calibrating the range at the machine, and the live count and status.

## Weight

245 g

## Range

Up to 8 m (26 ft), resolved to the millimetre

The background must sit at least 7 cm from the sensor; the detection zone is set in front of it.

## Accuracy

±2% count accuracy, on each unit that breaks the beam

## Power modes

BeamTracker runs on 4.5 to 28 V DC over an industrial M12 connector (5-pin, A-coded): from the M12 power adapter into a 100 to 240 V AC outlet, or piggy-backed through an M12 T-splitter to share one adapter between BeamTrackers mounted close together.

## Operating temperature

-20°C to +70°C (-4°F to +158°F)

## Support

BeamTracker is covered by a one-year limited warranty. Our support team is here to help, and the [BeamTracker guide](https://www.iotflows.com/docs/hardware/beamtracker) has set-up steps and troubleshooting, including [a device that is offline](https://www.iotflows.com/docs/hardware/troubleshoot-offline-device).
