Advantech has launched its innovative EVA-2000 series, a new line of smart wireless sensors incorporating LoRaWAN technology. This series marks a significant advancement in the field of industrial sensing applications, delivering long-range data transmission combined with excellent power efficiency. The series, comprising of diverse sensor models from temperature and humidity to water leak detection, is designed for the demanding sectors of industrial automation, equipment monitoring, and environmental monitoring.
At the heart of the series' functionality lies their ability to efficiently gather and transmit data wirelessly over extended distances through low-power, wide area LoRaWAN technology. This capability is further enhanced by their excellent low power consumption, attributed to their double 3.6V Li-ion batteries, ensuring prolonged battery life. The adherence to LoRaWAN standards not only promises scalability and cost-effectiveness in the deployment of a multitude of devices but also simplifies integration within existing systems. Moreover, each unit in the series employed a built-in embedded antenna in a compact design that facilitates flexible installation across varied environments.
Standout products in this series include the EVA-2210, which is a three-phase current meter equipped with 3 x 75A clamp-on CT. The device is adept at measuring equipment currents up to 75A in diverse applications such as pumps, fan motors, compressors, computers, and servers. Eradicating the necessity for complex wiring, the device notably improves energy management efficiency for distributed devices.
Further enhancing the versatility of the series are the EVA-2310 and EVA-2311 models. The EVA-2310 is a temperature and humidity sensor for monitoring environments in offices, hospitals, classrooms, and warehouses.
The EVA-2311 employs a PT1000 round head heat probe sensor, which extends its utility with a 2m length cable and IP67 rating, making it ideal for extreme temperature detection ranging from -70C to 200C.
The EVA-2510 model is a water leakage sensor, which serves as a sensor for use in cooling and water treatment systems, detecting and alerting operators to potential issues before they happen. Such models are indispensable for industrial processes that rely on precise environmental parameter measurements.
All the series products are seamlessly compatible with the Advantech WISE-6610, industrial LoRaWAN gateway, providing for easy remote creation, synchronisation of channel settings, and data rate adjustments. Once connected, application settings such as data update cycles and thresholds can be configured via downlink commands from WISE-6610, further streamlining the monitoring and management process.
