Proximity sensor
The proximity sensor is located in the top-left corner of the display’s frame.
The proximity sensor can detect people up to 16' (5 m) away when the
display is in Standby mode.
When the proximity sensor detects people in the room, the display either
turns on or is ready to turn on, depending on how it’s configured.
If the room is empty for a specified period, the display returns to Standby mode.
For more information, see Waking up the display and putting it back to sleep on page11.
Ambient light sensor
The ambient light sensor is located in the top left corner of the display’s
frame.
The ambient light sensor detects the brightness of the room and adjusts the
brightness of the screen accordingly.
You can enable, disable, and adjust this feature. Refer to the SMART Board
6000S and 6000S Pro series interactive displays installation and
maintenance guide
(smarttech.com/kb/171414) for more information.
Temperature and humidity sensors
The display features integrated temperature and humidity sensors that enable
real-time measurement and recording of the environmental conditions
surrounding the display. This data is easily accessible using the pre-installed
‘temperature and humidity app in the display’s App library.
Teachers can use the environmental data to determine a classroom’s comfort
level and take informed steps to improve learning conditions. Measuring a
classroom’s environmental data over time and combining this with other
utilization and outcome data can provide a more complete picture of the overall learning
environment.
Facilities managers can also use the environmental data to assist with resource planning and gain a
better understanding of a room user’s temperature and humidity preferences.
