MONNIT AA Battery Powered Wireless Ultrasonic Ranging Sensor
MONNIT AA Battery Powered Wireless Ultrasonic Ranging Sensor is a wireless ultrasonic ranging sensor designed to measure the distance between the sensor and objects in its path. Using high-frequency sound pulses, it can support remote monitoring of liquid levels, object or vehicle presence and inventory status. Its ALTA 433 MHz wireless communication makes it suitable for applications requiring distance data to be collected remotely.
The MONNIT AA Battery Powered Wireless Ultrasonic Ranging Sensor is designed for remote distance measurement. The sensor measures the distance between itself and an object in its path, allowing the measured distance to be used for applications such as liquid level monitoring, object detection and inventory status tracking.
It operates by transmitting a high-frequency sound pulse and measuring the time taken for the pulse to return. Using the speed of sound and the time difference between transmission and reception, the sensor determines the distance to the target. Monnit states that auto-calibration algorithms help the sensor adapt to changing environmental conditions and compensate for temperature and humidity effects.
Customers may choose this sensor when they need to monitor distance remotely rather than perform regular manual checks. Its wireless communication, configurable monitoring thresholds and data logging capability can support applications where changes in distance need to be tracked and reported through a compatible Monnit monitoring system.
How it works
- Sends a high-frequency ultrasonic sound pulse towards an object or surface.
- Measures the time taken for the pulse to return to the sensor.
- Uses the speed of sound and the measured time difference to calculate distance.
- Sends measurement data to a compatible gateway, where the data can be made available through iMonnit or another approved data service.
Why choose this product
- Provides wireless distance monitoring for remote applications.
- Uses auto-calibration to adapt to changing environmental conditions.
- Offers 1 centimetre measurement resolution.
- Supports configurable thresholds for condition monitoring.
- Can store sensor readings when the gateway connection is unavailable.
Benefits
- Reduces the need for manual distance checks in suitable monitoring applications.
- Allows distance data to be used for level, object or inventory monitoring.
- Supports remote access to sensor information through the compatible monitoring system.
