DRAGINO NB-IoT Distance Detection Sensor
DRAGINO NB-IoT Distance Detection Sensor is an NB-IoT distance detection sensor that uses ultrasonic technology to measure the distance between the sensor and a flat object. It provides a measurement range of 30 mm to 4500 mm with an accuracy of ±(1 cm + S × 0.3%), where S is the measured distance. With temperature compensation, NB-IoT connectivity, an IP66 enclosure and an 8500/19000 mAh Li/SOCl2 battery or Solar panel + 3000mAh Li-ion battery, it is designed for long-term remote monitoring applications such as liquid level measurement, parking management, object detection and water level monitoring.
The DRAGINO NB-IoT Distance Detection Sensor is an NB-IoT distance detection sensor designed for remote measurement applications. It uses ultrasonic technology to determine the distance between the sensor and a flat object, while internal temperature compensation is used to improve measurement reliability.
The sensor can measure distances from 30 mm to 4500 mm and has a specified measurement angle of 60°. It can be used for applications where the distance to an object needs to be monitored remotely, including liquid levels, vehicle parking spaces, waste containers and water levels.
The DRAGINO NB-IoT Ultrasonic Distance Detection Sensor sends measurement information to an IoT platform through an NB-IoT network. It supports several communication methods, including MQTT, MQTTs, UDP and TCP, allowing it to work with different IoT server configurations.
How it works
- The ultrasonic sensor emits a signal towards the target.
- The device measures the distance between the sensor and the target object.
- Internal temperature compensation helps improve the reliability of the distance measurement.
- The measured data can be transmitted to an IoT platform through an NB-IoT network.
- The sensor supports periodic uplinks and downlink commands for configuration changes.
- Multiple samples can be taken before a single uplink is transmitted.
- Bluetooth can be used for local configuration and firmware updates.
- Data can be sent using MQTT, MQTTs, UDP or TCP, depending on the application and server configuration.
Why choose this product?
- Non-contact measurement: Ultrasonic sensing allows the sensor to measure the distance to a target without physical contact.
- Remote NB-IoT connectivity: Measurements can be sent directly to an IoT platform through an NB-IoT network.
- Wide measurement range: The specified flat-object measurement range extends from 30 mm to 4500 mm.
- Long-term battery operation: Dragino specifies an 8500/19000 mAh Li/SOCl2 battery or Solar panel + 3000mAh Li-ion battery for long-term use.
- Flexible server connectivity: MQTT, MQTTs, UDP and TCP are supported.
- Remote configuration: Bluetooth and NB-IoT connectivity provide options for configuration and device management.
Benefits
It can simplify remote distance monitoring where running communication cables to individual measurement points is impractical. Its non-contact ultrasonic measurement is useful for applications such as liquid level monitoring and object presence detection.
