Especially for use in the garden, we have created an alternative to our CTC-IR-Balise: Here we rely on Near Field Communication (NFC), instead of optical infrared signals.
The capabilities regarding position detection and automation are identical with the CTC-NFC-Reader, to those of the IR receiver. However, with NFC there is no way to influence the transmitted data. Only a globally unique number is transmitted, which has already been stored in the NFC-Balises by the manufacturer.
We offer you the NFC-Balise, which is modeled on the Eurobalise:
The holders are made of weatherproof plastic. The tag placed under the yellow cap is specified according to IP68. So it even survives a rain shower, during which it temporarily submerges.
Alternatively, you can also use other NFC tags, e.g., the NFC nails, which you can obtain from us:
These are stuck in the ground so that their head protrudes about 5 mm above the sleepers.
