Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dry contact sensor and how does it work?
A dry contact sensor detects the connection or disconnection between two wires without requiring power at the contact point. The MultiTech LoRaWAN Dry Contact Sensor monitors this state change and transmits the data wirelessly via LoRaWAN, making it ideal for detecting door/window status, equipment on/off states, or alarm conditions in outdoor environments.
Can this LoRaWAN sensor be used in outdoor industrial environments?
Yes. The weather-proof enclosure is specifically designed for outdoor and industrial use, protecting internal components from moisture, dust, and temperature extremes. This makes it suitable for facilities management, utility monitoring, and remote industrial IoT deployments.
How can I integrate multiple sensors with this device?
The MultiTech LoRaWAN Dry Contact Sensor functions as a bridge device, enabling integration of a wide variety of sensors into your LoRaWAN network. This flexibility allows you to expand your monitoring capabilities without deploying separate gateways.
What are the power requirements for this outdoor sensor?
The sensor is designed for low-power operation, extending battery life for long-term outdoor deployments. Specific power specifications and battery life estimates are available in the detailed technical documentation.
