DRAGINO LoRaWAN 4-Channel Ultrasonic Distance Sensor
DRAGINO LoRaWAN 4-Channel Ultrasonic Distance Sensor is a LoRaWAN 4-channel distance detection sensor designed to collect distance measurements from up to four ultrasonic probes. It wirelessly transmits measured values to a LoRaWAN IoT server, making it suitable for applications where multiple distance points need to be monitored remotely. With low-power operation, Bluetooth configuration, remote configuration and OTA firmware updates, it is well suited to distributed monitoring systems.
The DRAGINO LoRaWAN 4-Channel Ultrasonic Distance Sensor provides a practical way to collect multiple distance measurements through a single wireless IoT device. The unit can connect to up to four ultrasonic probes, allowing four distance points to be measured at the same time.
The DRAGINO LoRaWAN 4-Channel Ultrasonic Distance Sensor is designed around LoRaWAN 1.0.3 Class A communication and supports a range of regional frequency bands, including AU915. Measured data can be transmitted wirelessly to a LoRaWAN IoT server, making the device suitable for monitoring installations where wired connections are inconvenient or impractical.
How it works
- The DRAGINO LoRaWAN 4-Channel Ultrasonic Distance Sensor connects to compatible external ultrasonic probes.
- Each probe measures the distance between the probe and the monitored object.
- Up to four distance measurements can be collected simultaneously.
- The measured values are transmitted wirelessly through LoRaWAN to a connected IoT server.
- The device is configured for LoRaWAN OTAA operation by default, with unique keys provided for network registration.
Why choose this product?
- Four-channel measurement - One device can support up to four ultrasonic distance measurement channels.
- Long-range wireless communication - LoRaWAN provides low-data-rate wireless communication suited to distributed monitoring installations.
- Remote configuration - Bluetooth v5.1 and LoRaWAN remote configuration are supported.
- Firmware updates over the air - Wireless OTA firmware updates can simplify ongoing device management.
- Low-power operation - The manufacturer specifies a 5 µA sleep-mode current.
- Outdoor-ready enclosure - The device has an IP66 waterproof enclosure rating.
Benefits
The four-channel design can reduce the need for separate wireless devices when several measurement points are located within the same monitoring system. LoRaWAN connectivity also allows measurements to be collected remotely and integrated into a wider IoT monitoring platform.
The DRAGINO LoRaWAN 4-Channel Ultrasonic Distance Sensor can therefore be useful for applications where distance, level or object position needs to be monitored without running dedicated communication wiring back to the monitoring system.
