DRAGINO 80 GHz LoRaWAN Microwave Radar Distance Sensor | Solar Powered Available

From $556.00Sale Price
DRAGINO 80 GHz LoRaWAN Microwave Radar Distance Sensor | Solar Powered Available is an 80 GHz LoRaWAN microwave radar sensor for non-contact distance measurement. Using FMCW radar technology, it provides measurement ranges of up to 3 m, 12 m or 25 m, with 1 mm resolution and ±20 mm accuracy. The sensor is designed for applications such as liquid level measurement, parking management, object detection, sewer monitoring and bottom water level monitoring. The MR-XX-LS version combines solar power with a 3000 mAh Li-ion battery for long-term operation.

The DRAGINO 80 GHz LoRaWAN Microwave Radar Distance Sensor | Solar Powered Available is designed for remote distance and level monitoring where reliable non-contact measurement is required.

It uses 80 GHz FMCW microwave radar to determine the distance between the sensor and a target. Three measurement ranges are available: 200 to 3000 mm, 200 to 12000 mm and 200 to 25000 mm. The sensor provides 1 mm resolution and ±20 mm accuracy.

Microwave radar can be particularly useful in environments where condensation or dust may affect other distance measurement technologies. Dragino states that the sensor can continue to measure correctly when water or thick dust is present on top of the sensor.

The device communicates using LoRaWAN 1.0.3 Class A, allowing measured data to be transmitted wirelessly over a LoRaWAN network. It also supports Bluetooth v5.1 configuration, LoRaWAN remote configuration and wireless OTA firmware updates.

How it works

  • The sensor uses 80 GHz FMCW microwave radar to measure the distance between the radar and the target.
  • The radar measures a non-contact distance rather than requiring the sensor to physically contact the measured material or object.
  • Measurement data can be transmitted periodically through the LoRaWAN network.
  • The sensor supports measurement ranges of 3 m, 12 m or 25 m depending on the selected model.
  • Battery level can be monitored remotely.
  • Bluetooth v5.1 can be used for configuration.
  • LoRaWAN remote configuration is supported.
  • Firmware can be updated wirelessly through OTA functionality.
  • AT commands are available for changing parameters.

Why choose this product?

  • Reliable in dusty and humid conditions: Microwave radar is less affected by condensation and dust than some alternative distance measurement methods.
  • Non-contact measurement: Suitable for applications where the sensor needs to remain above or away from the measured object or material.
  • Multiple measurement ranges: The 3 m, 12 m and 25 m options allow the sensor to be selected according to the required measurement distance.
  • Wireless monitoring: LoRaWAN communication allows distance information to be incorporated into remote monitoring systems.
  • Solar-powered option: uses a solar panel and 3000 mAh Li-ion battery for applications requiring long-term operation.
  • Remote configuration: Bluetooth and LoRaWAN configuration options make commissioning and parameter changes more convenient.

Benefits

The DRAGINO 80 GHz LoRaWAN Microwave Radar Distance Sensor | Solar Powered Available can reduce the need for physical inspection of remotely located measurement points by transmitting distance information through a LoRaWAN network.

Its microwave radar technology is useful for environments where condensation, dust or surface contamination could make other sensing methods less suitable.
