Communicates over long distances with LoRa wireless tech
The Dragino LDS40-LS LoRaWAN LiDAR ToF Distance Sensor (3000mAh Li-Ion & Solar Panel / US915) is an advanced device engineered for Internet of Things applications, utilizing laser induction technology to measure distances ranging from 0 to 40 meters. This sensor is versatile, suitable for various applications including horizontal distance measurement, parking management systems, object proximity and presence detection, intelligent trash can management, robot obstacle avoidance, automatic control, and sewer monitoring. It functions by detecting the distance between the sensor and the target object, transmitting this data wirelessly to a LoRaWAN IoT Server.
The device employs LoRa wireless technology, enabling it to communicate over extensive distances at low data rates. This technology ensures ultra-long range spread spectrum communication, high interference immunity, and minimal current consumption. The LDS40-LS is designed for ease of use, supporting Bluetooth configuration and wireless over-the-air updates. It is powered by a solar panel in conjunction with a 3000mAh Li-ion battery, facilitating long-term operation of up to five years.
Each unit is pre-configured with unique keys for LoRaWAN registration, allowing automatic connection to a local LoRaWAN server upon activation. The sensor is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, with an operating temperature range from -40 to 85°C and an IP65 enclosure rating, ensuring durability and reliability in various settings.
