Wireless RTD Temperature Sensor
Industrial-grade LoRaWAN temperature monitoring with Pt100 RTD sensor. Precision monitoring across extreme temperature ranges with 5+ year battery life.
Product Overview
The Controlytics Wireless RTD Temperature Sensor is a precision industrial temperature monitoring solution designed for the most demanding applications. Built with industry-leading Pt100 RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) sensors, this device delivers accurate temperature readings across an exceptional range of -200°C to +600°C, making it suitable for cryogenic, ambient, and extreme industrial heating applications.
With LoRaWAN wireless connectivity, this sensor eliminates the need for expensive wiring and conduit installation. The IP67-rated enclosure provides robust protection against dust, moisture, and submersion, while the aluminum and stainless steel construction ensures longevity in harsh industrial environments. Battery-powered operation with 5+ years of estimated life reduces maintenance burden and operational costs.
Key Features
How It Works
Measurement: The Pt100 RTD sensor measures temperature by converting thermal energy into electrical resistance. The integrated amplifier measures this resistance and converts it to a digital temperature value.
Processing: The embedded microcontroller processes the raw sensor data, applies calibration corrections, and stores historical measurements in local flash memory for data integrity.
Transmission: Data is encrypted and transmitted via LoRaWAN to your network gateway. The adaptive data rate algorithm optimizes battery life while maintaining reliable communication.
Cloud Platform: Temperature data is received by the Controlytics cloud platform, where it's processed, visualized, and made available through our web and mobile applications.
