  • Page 3: Overview

    Overview Tarts Basic Control is a wireless node on the network that has the ability to act as a switch on a power circuit. It communicates directly to the gateway checking for instruction to change the switch’s state. Such a command may be initiated when the temperature goes out of bounds, or when water is detected, or when motion is introduced into an environment.
  • Page 4 The switch is an NPN transistor: The NPN Collector input can handle up to 40 VDC and up to 30 mA, with a switching time of less than 100 ns. Tarts Basic Control User’s Guide (12/14) © 2014 Tarts Sensors, LLC. All Rights Reserved.
