Employs 24GHz microwave for accurate distance measurement
Measures 0.5 to 20m with ±0.1m accuracy
Features solar panel and 3000mAh battery for long life
Triggers alarms for out-of-range measurements
Configures via Bluetooth and LoRaWAN updates
The Dragino MDS200-LS LoRaWAN Microwave Radar Distance Sensor (3000mAh Li-Ion & Solar Panel / EU868) employs 24GHz microwave technology to accurately measure distances between the sensor and various objects. This method is particularly effective in environments with condensation or dust, where traditional ultrasonic or Lidar methods may falter. The sensor maintains accuracy even when covered by water or thick dust.
This device is versatile, suitable for applications such as horizontal distance measurement, parking management, object proximity and presence detection, intelligent trash can management, robot obstacle avoidance, and automatic control systems. It is capable of measuring the distance to the nearest object and the subsequent object behind it.
The MDS200-LS features an alarm function that triggers data uplink at shorter intervals when the measured distance falls outside a predefined range. Utilizing LoRa wireless technology, it achieves long-range communication with low data rates, offering high interference immunity while conserving power.
Configuration is facilitated through Bluetooth and wireless OTA updates, ensuring ease of use. The sensor is powered by a solar panel and a 3000mAh Li-ion battery, designed for extended operation of up to five years. Each unit is pre-configured with unique keys for LoRaWAN registration, enabling automatic connection to a local server upon activation.
