TC01-LB LoRaWAN Thermocouple Converter Node 868MHz

The TC01-LB LoRaWAN Thermocouple Converter Node 868MHz from Dragino is an ideal solution for temperature monitoring in industrial environments. This converter allows you to conduct accurate temperature measurements and send the data to your IoT server via the LoRaWAN network. With support for various thermocouple types such as K, J, N, R, S, T, E, and B, the TC01-LB offers flexibility and versatility. Thanks to the built-in alarm function, you will be immediately notified if preset temperature limits are exceeded. The data logger ensures that no measurement data is lost even if the network is temporarily unavailable. With Bluetooth v5.1 and OTA updates, the device can be easily configured and updated. The durable 8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery guarantees long-term operation. You can easily connect your own thermocouples to the sensor. Heat shrink tubes with soldering tin are included for this purpose. This sensor node is the third generation from Dragino and offers a mature LoRaWAN stack and application software. You can use the pre-installed software for your IoT projects or flexibly adapt the software to different requirements.

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 connects when powered on, if network coverage is available.
