About Door Pro Sensors

Important: Compatibility:
- PRP Spread Sensors, Door Explorer and Door Sensor Pro can be mixed on a same installation.
- You cannot mix them with A1 or PRP Spread Legacy door sensors because they cannot communicate with each other.
- If you change the default spread cycle period (6 sec.) of a Door Explorer or Door Sensor Pro, they will not be able to communicate with PRP Spread Sensors.

Sends data to the receiver (door spread distance, bearing, pitch and roll, depth...) |
- The port sensor (1) interrogates the starboard sensor (2) to know the distance between them (A). Then, it sends the distance to the receiver.

- The port sensor (1) interrogates the clump (2) and starboard sensors (3) to know the distance with each one. Then, it sends the two distances (yellow A, B) to the receiver.
- The clump sensor (2) listens to the answer of the starboard sensor. Then, it sends the distance between them (blue A) to the receiver.

- The port sensor (1) interrogates the port clump sensor (2), the starboard clump sensor (3) and the starboard sensor (4) to know the distance with each one. Then, it sends the three distances (yellow A, B, C) to the receiver.
- The port clump sensor (2) listens to the answer of the starboard clump sensor. Then, it sends the distance between them (blue A) to the receiver.
- The starboard clump sensor (3) listens to the answer of the starboard sensor. Then, it sends the distance between them (purple A) to the receiver.

- The port sensor (1) interrogates the port clump sensor (2), the center clump sensor (3), the starboard clump sensor (4) and the starboard sensor (5) to know the distance with each one. Then, it sends the four distances (yellow A, B, C, D) to the receiver.
- The port clump sensor (2) listens to the answer of the center clump sensor (3). Then, it sends the distance between them (blue A) to the receiver.
- The center clump sensor (3) listens to the answer of the starboard clump sensor (4). Then, it sends the distance between them (purple A) to the receiver.
- The starboard clump sensor (4) listens to the answer of the starboard sensor (5). Then, it sends the distance between them (gray A) to the receiver.
