Technical details

Plug & Sense come with a variety of features in addition to the ones listed above.

Sensor Probes

Sensor probes can be attached easily by just screwing them into the bottom sockets. This allows you to add new sensing capabilities to existing networks in just minutes. In the same way, sensor probes may be easily replaced in order to ensure the lowest maintenance cost of the sensor network.

External and internal Solar Panel

Battery can be recharged using the internal or external solar panel options (common USB-recharging is of course another option).The external solar panel is mounted on a 45º holder which ensures the maximum performance of each outdoor installation. The rechargeable battery has a load of 6600 mAh, what ensures non stop working time during the weeks where the sunlight is lower. A non-rechargeable battery option of extreme load (26 Ah) is also possible for projects where a solar panel can not be used.

Fast deployment

Plug & Sense! counts with holders specially designed for outdoor installations in street-lights and building fronts. Metal cable ties are provided to easily adjust the node to street light posts. Installation can be done in minutes as you only need to tie the cables on the enclosure holders and then to the post. Once the node is secured just press the on button and the node will start automatically to send the data gathered from the sensors to the Gateway.

Connect your industrial devices

Plug & Sense! units are able to connect with the most common industrial communication protocols: RS-232, RS-485, Modbus, 4-20 mA (current loop) and CAN Bus. This feature opens a wide variety of applications for industrial sensing and automation, military, automobile, vehicle tracking or remote factory management.
