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 carry out precise 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 notified immediately when preset temperature limits are exceeded. The data logger ensures that no measured values are lost, even if the network is temporarily unavailable. With Bluetooth v5.1 and OTA updates, the device is easy to configure and update. The long-lasting 8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery guarantees long-term operation. You can easily connect your own thermocouples to the sensor. Heat shrink tubes with solder are included for this purpose. This sensor node is the third generation from Dragino and offers a mature LoRaWAN stack as well as application software. You can use the pre-installed software for your IoT projects or adapt the software flexibly 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 after powering up, if network coverage is available.
