Remote temperature sensor

The SIGFOX TM REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR from nke Watteco is a narrow-band, long range, low power consumption, high performance and high quality wireless device transmitting temperature from a NTC probe.

The REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR is ideal to supervise hot spots (machines, pipes), cold chain (temperature controlled chambers, cooling towers) and buildings (residential, industrial). It provides connection to any wireless network using the SIGFOX TM protocol. The transmission is done on regular basis and by threshold alert.

The unit reports every 24 hours the average, minimum, maximum temperature measured that is useful to compute unified degree days which is a typical indicator of energy consumption and costs for heating or cooling.

The REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR is easy to use, deploy and maintain:

• NFC tag for identification (Part number, serial number and MAC address)
• Magnetic switch to activate/de-activate

The measured temperatures can be locally stored, concatenated and compressed. This unique batch mechanism significantly reduce the amount of data transmission for demanding applications and drastically increase the autonomy.

Powered through a lithium battery, in data-compression mode it allows an autonomy of up to 12 years when measuring one time per hour and radio transmitting data one time per day.

The configuration of the transmitter can be done at factory or on-site allowing the choice of measurement cycle, measurement, information frame radiotransmission periodicity, alarms threshold values, data compression mode.
