Can I leave the coin cell battery in the sensor insoles?
Yes, you can leave the coin cell batteries in the sensor insoles when they are not in use. The quiescence power consumption of OpenGo Sensor Insoles in Sleep Mode (sensor insoles are not moved) is extremely low. The system discharge in rest takes approx. 3 months to reach the deep discharge protection level.
How can I desinfect the sensor insoles?
Moticon Sensor Insoles can be desinfected using typical alcohol-based hand or device desinfectant sprays. Do not use pur fluids. The bottom side of the sensor insoles can be wiped after treatment with the desinfectant, the textile top-layer must be manually cleaned from particle contamination and desinfected with the spray.
Can I use the sensor insoles for longterm monitoring?
Yes, you can use OpenGo Sensor Insoles for longterm monitoring. The overall recording time depends on the settings for data acquisition, such as sample rate and included sensor channels. Moticon offers special data acquisition settings and a Smart Recording Mode mode for collecting longterm gait profiles over long periods. Read more about the special features […]
What is the wireless range of the sensor insoles?
The typical range of the wireless connection between Moticon sensor insoles and a mobile phone or tablet is 10m (~32ft) in a free space. The quality and completeness of the transmitted sensor data does not depend on the wireless link quality as long as a connection can be established. Lost data packages are resent. However, […]
How comfortable are the sensor insoles?

How long does the coin cell battery charge last?
One full coin cell battery charge typically lasts for 15:00 h of continuous recording. Note that these numbers refer to the recommended rechargeable coin cell batteries. Technical specifications can be found here. For measurements that are stored on the onboard memory, typically the memory is the limiting factor over the battery charge level. The overall […]
What does “timed recording” mean?
A “timed recording” refers to data recording on the sensor insoles’ on-board memory, which is stopped automatically after a preset timer elapsed. Visit the product website to learn more.
Can I record sensor data on the sensor insoles?
Yes, you can record sensor data on the built-in memory of the OpenGo Sensor Insoles. If you use the Recording mode, you are completely independent of wireless connections.
