The Dragino MDS120-LS LoRaWAN Microwave Radar Distance Sensor (3000mAh Li-Ion & Solar Panel / US915) is an advanced device designed for precise distance measurement using microwave radar technology. This sensor is particularly effective in environments with condensation or dust, where traditional ultrasonic or Lidar sensors may struggle. It maintains accuracy even when covered with water or thick dust, making it suitable for a variety of applications including horizontal distance measurement, parking management, object proximity detection, intelligent trash can systems, robot obstacle avoidance, automatic control, and sewer monitoring.
The device leverages LoRa wireless technology to transmit data over long distances at low data rates, ensuring robust communication with high interference immunity while conserving power. It supports Bluetooth configuration and wireless over-the-air updates, enhancing its usability and adaptability. The sensor is powered by a solar panel and a 3000mAh Li-ion battery, which supports long-term operation for up to five years.
Each unit is equipped with unique keys for LoRaWAN registration, facilitating automatic connection to a local LoRaWAN server upon activation. This feature, combined with its low power consumption and durable design, makes the Dragino MDS120-LS an ideal choice for various industrial and environmental monitoring applications.
