LCC01-LB LoRaWAN Weight Sensor Node 868MHz

The LCC01-LB LoRaWAN Load Cell / Weighing Cell Amplifier is your key to precise weight measurement in a variety of IoT applications. This advanced device accurately captures the weight of objects and securely transmits the data over the LoRaWAN radio protocol to an IoT server. It features a universal 4-wire interface that allows the connection of various types of load cells and supports measurement ranges from a few grams up to several tons. The LCC01-LB is ideal for a wide range of applications, including truck, rail, supermarket, and industrial scales. By using LoRa technology, data can be transmitted over long distances with low energy consumption. The device is characterized by high interference resistance and offers easy handling through Bluetooth configuration and wireless OTA updates. Equipped with an 8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery, the LCC01-LB guarantees long-term usage of up to 5 years.

Each sensor is preloaded with a set of unique keys for LoRaWAN registrations. These keys are registered on the local LoRaWAN server and the sensor automatically establishes a connection when network coverage is available after power-on.
