Piezo Sensor Löwen Dart

Item: D7.03.19.155488
A piezo sensor for a Löwen Dart (also known as an electronic dartboard device from the company Löwen) is often used to improve hit detection.

This sensor registers the mechanical vibrations or pressure changes that occur when a dart hits the board.

Description: It can be used for Löwen Dart SM92, SM94, SM98, HB6, HB8, and HB9.

How the piezo sensor works:

• Piezo crystal: The sensor consists of a piezo crystal that generates electrical voltage when mechanically deformed.
• Hit detection: When a dart hits the dartboard, the impact creates a vibration. The piezo sensor detects this vibration and converts it into an electrical signal.
• Signal evaluation: The electrical signal is then evaluated by the dartboard's electronics to determine if a hit has occurred and where it took place.

Advantages of a piezo sensor:

• Higher accuracy: Since the sensor detects mechanical vibrations, it can also detect hits that might be missed by conventional mechanical sensors.
• Less wear and tear: Compared to mechanical switches, there are fewer moving parts, which reduces wear and tear and the need for maintenance.

Installation and integration:

• Compatibility: It is important to ensure that the piezo sensor is compatible with the specific model of the Löwen dartboard.
• Connection: The sensor must be correctly connected to the device's electronics. This often requires specific technical knowledge or instructions from the manufacturer.
• Calibration: After installation, calibration may be necessary to ensure that the sensor reacts correctly to hits.
