IoT into the Wild

1. Product Introduction

S2100 LoRaWAN Data Logger can collect data from different types of sensors and transfer

the data through LoRaWAN network. If you have deployed sensors that are not based on the

LoRaWAN network, then with our LoRaWAN data logger, you can change them into

LoRaWAN-based sensors and use the LoRaWAN network to transfer data. You can easily

enjoy the advantages of LoRaWAN technology such as low power consumption and long

transmission range, without affording the cost of changing the sensors you are using.

4. Hook up the Sensor Probe

4.1 Preparation

4.1.1 Sensor Probe

Get one of these sensors ready:

Type

Sensor wire pin

RS485 Modbus-RTU

1 x A, 1 x B, 1 x GND, 1x VCC

4~20 mA

1 or 2 x signal pin

0~10V

1 or 2 x signal pin

Level

1 x signal pin

Pulse Count

1 x signal pin

Note:

Each Data logger can only be connected to one type of sensor. For example

1. a RS485 sensor with one address

2. a 4~20mA sensor with 1or 2 measurements

3. a 0~10V (Less than 10v) sensor with 1or 2 measurements

4. a pulse or level sensor with 1 measurement

4.1.2 Tools

Type

Description

Cross screwdriver

Cross recess No.2

4.2 Connect the Sensor Probe

4.2.1 Disassemble the Data Logger

1. Unscrew three screws.

2. Take down the cover.

3. Remove the thread cap and pass it through the cable of the sensor, pass it through

the bottom cover, and connect it tothe wiring terminal.

IoT into the Wild

No.

Description

12V

External 12V input voltage. The Data Logger can be

poweredby an external 12V DC power supply.

When using 12V power supply, the battery will serve as

backup power supply.

5V output voltage, providing 5V voltageto the sensor.

3V output voltage, providing 3V voltage to the sensor.

Acquisition level or pulse input

The voltage input of 0 to 10V is collected

RS485 A/+

RS485 B/-

Collect the current input from 4 to 20mA

GND

Ground pin

GND

Ground pin

4.2.2 Power supply options of sensor

Data Logger supports two power supply modes:

Mode

Description

Built-in Battery

The Data Logger and sensors are powered by batteries. In this

case, the datalogger can be connected to a 5Vor 3V sensors.

External 12V DC

Supply power to Data Logger and sensor through external 12V

power supply. When the external 12V is disconnected, the system

switches to battery power.

When using external 12V power supply, use it together with the

junction box to ensure the waterproof performance of the device.
