2. By mechanical enclosure and mounting combination (See Table 1-2).
3. By PCBA (see Figure 1-2, Figure 1-3, and Table 1-1).
There are three “levels” of component from a production point of view, each of which has its
own product code or “T-code.” All sensors share a single common PCB (one T-code). The PCBs
are populated with different combinations of transducers/components to make seven different
PCBAs (seven T-codes). The PCBAs are then combined with various mechanical enclosures,
mounting options, and FW functionality to produce the 19 different variants at the module-
level (only 6 of which fall into the portable category). Figure 1-1 illustrates this hierarchy.
Figure 1-1: Gen2 BLE Sensor Family Groupings and Hierarchy
Figure 1-2 shows the HW/Mechanical groupings of the AA-cell variants and Figure 1-3 shows
the groupings of the C-Cell Devices. In the figures, each grouping shares common PCBA HW
(and therefore PCBA-level T-code). The module-level T-code is what appears on the label on the
exterior of the device. Each different combination of mechanical enclosure, mounting option,
and function is assigned a different module-level product code, as shown in the figures.
