Launch of new wireless RICOH EH Environment Sensor D201/202 requiring no battery replacement

These new products are the successors to the RICOH EH Environment Sensor D101, launched in October 2020. They are equipped with the latest solid-state dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) module, the RICOH EH DSSC Series, which has improved power output by 20%. Unlike its predecessor, the new D201/202 can operate under a temperature range of -30°C to 60°C. In addition, the improved packaging for the D202 is waterproof and dustproof, significantly expanding usage scenarios.

In pursuit of realizing “A World Without Charging,” Ricoh will continue developing technologies to increase the output power and durability of environmental power generating devices. This will expand their applications as independent power sources for sensing devices, light-emitting devices, and switches.

¹  Availability in Europe from in the first half of 2022
²  Wi-Fi connectivity requires the “RICOH EH Relay for Wi-Fi™”

Usage scenarios

• Temperature and humidity control for factories and warehouses
