MDS200-LS LoRaWAN Radar Sensor 0.5-20m 868MHz with Solar

The MDS200-LS LoRaWAN radar distance sensor is an advanced IoT device that uses 24GHz microwaves to measure the distance to various objects. This technology is particularly reliable in environments with condensation or dust, as it allows for accurate measurements even when there is water or thick dust on the sensor. Thanks to its rugged construction, the sensor is ideal for outdoor use. This model uses a combination of solar cells and a supportive battery to ensure optimal performance and longevity under the open sky. The MDS200-LS can measure distances from 0.5 to 20 meters and recognize two objects simultaneously: the closest and the one behind it. The sensor also supports Bluetooth for easy configuration and wireless OTA updates. Each sensor comes pre-installed with unique keys for LoRaWAN registration, allowing for quick and easy commissioning.
