TWELITE CUE (BLUE / RED) Datasheet

Latest

TWELITE CUE is a package that integrates the TWELITE wireless microcontroller, a 3-axis accelerometer, magnetic sensor, coin cell battery holder, and antenna. A dedicated CUE application (firmware) is pre-installed, and it starts operating immediately upon inserting a coin cell battery (CR2032). Its low power consumption allows continuous operation for years.

It is ideal for users who have ideas for utilizing wireless tags but lack hardware or software expertise, or have limited development resources.

TWELITE CUE is a compact wireless tag with long battery life and excellent transmission range.

Precautions

Inserting the Coin Cell

Insert the CR2032 battery with the + side facing the + mark on the battery holder. The TWELITE CUE LED will blink three times if inserted correctly.

Ensure correct battery orientation. Inserting it backwards may cause overheating and damage.

Due to its structure, the battery holder of TWELITE CUE is prone to detachment at the soldered area. Please follow the precautions below:

When removing the coin cell, it is recommended to gently press the battery holder from above to avoid stressing the soldered section.
When operating TWELITE CUE, use a dedicated case to hold down the battery holder from above.
