IoT Long Range Wireless Analog Digital Converter(3.3V)

Our long range wireless enterprise series sensors are an easy to use and reliable start to any data aggregation application. This video will demonstrate how they work, what they do, and how to use them.

Long Range IoT Wireless Analog Digital Converter(3.3V)

Introducing NCD’s Long Range IoT Wireless Analog to Digital Converter (ADC), boasting up to a 28 Mile range using a wireless mesh networking architecture.  It incorporates a 2 channel 10 bit ADC that samples analog inputs at user defined intervals while sleeping during the time it is not sending data to minimize power consumption. This IoT Wireless Analog to Digital Converter has an additional feature of detecting change in voltage every 7 seconds (factory configurable) and sending out ADC samples if the change in voltage on any channel is greater than 10% (factory configurable). To minimize power consumption, it sleeps during the time it is not checking for change in analog voltage. Both of these features work in parallel to support multiple application areas in one package.

Powered by just 2 AA batteries and an operational lifetime of 500,000 wireless transmissions, a 10 years battery life can be expected depending on environmental conditions and the data transmission interval.  Optionally, this sensor may be externally powered.

With an open communication protocol this sensor can be integrated with just about any control system or gateway.  Data can be transmitted to a PC, a Raspberry Pi, to Microsoft Azure® IoT, or Arduino. Sensor parameters and wireless transmission settings can be changed on the go using the open communication protocol providing maximum configurability depending on the intended application.

The long range, price, accuracy, battery life and security features of Long Range IoT Wireless Analog to Digital Converter makes it an affordable choice which exceeds the requirements for most of the industrial as well as consumer market applications.

Note: The Board has Pull Up and Pull Down solder jumpers. These Jumpers can be changed based on user Requirement. For more Info Checkout Wiring Diagram In the Resources Section.

Receiving Data From Long Range IoT Wireless Analog To Digital Converter

This IoT Wireless Analog to Digital Converter device sends data periodically, based on user-preset timing intervals and on Certain % change on the inputs.  Data transmissions include battery level, signal strength, payload, firmware version, sensor type, and device serial number.  Please see the Resources section to see detailed information on the data structure of this device.  This wireless transmitter needs a receiver.  There are many options available for receiving data from NCD transmitters.  We highly recommend using our USB Modem (available during purchase) so you can monitor this device and use our LabVIEW software for changing device settings.  Using our long-range USB wireless modem, users can expect easy operation over a virtual COM port at 115.2K baud.  Optionally, we offer a Wireless receiver that operates over ethernet.  Data from NCD sensors will appear over TCP/IP on port 2101.  Simply open a TCP/IP socket, port 2101, to the IP address of the Ethernet modem and see your data stream in to your local area network.  We take software samples seriously!  Be sure to to check out the resources section of our web site to see code samples for Raspberry Pi, Visual Studio, LabVIEW, Arduino, Python, and more.
