LoRaWAN Operative Temperature Sensor – Black Globe Probe
Air temperature and radiant heat: measure perceived comfort
Resulting Temperature
The Enless Wireless temperature sensor with a black globe probe is designed to accurately measure the comfort temperature experienced by occupants, taking into account both air temperature and thermal radiation from surrounding surfaces. Comfort temperature is defined as the average of the conductive temperature and the radiant temperature, making this sensor ideal for fine-tuning HVAC systems in BMS projects.
Radio power
Enjoy exceptional radio range of over 5 kilometers in open terrain thanks to LoRa technology. This wireless communication protocol offers unmatched radio performance for data transmission over very long distances. The LoRa protocol is ideally suited to the wireless transmission needs of building management systems (BMS).
Record-breaking battery life
The Enless LoRaWAN temperature sensor with PT1000 contact probe is built to last. It comes with a replaceable D-cell battery and can operate for over 15 years. Battery life depends on your settings (transmission frequency) and your environment. The use of a D-cell battery ensures reliable data transmission over the long term while drastically reducing maintenance requirements and the need for physical intervention on the device.
Multiple uses
Communication over a public or private LoRaWAN network
In LoRaWAN mode, the temperature sensor with a black-body probe can transmit data over a public or private LoRaWAN network. Enless offers a LoRaWAN gateway that is compatible not only with its own sensors but also with third-party sensors. Data from Enless sensors is natively decoded and mapped to Modbus tables or BACnet objects for simplified integration into your BMS.
Enless sensors are also compatible with commercially available LoRaWAN gateways and with operated LoRaWAN networks.
Communication with an LoRa Easy receiver
In LoRa Easy mode, the temperature sensor with a black-ball probe sends its data to an LoRa Easy receiver. LoRa Easy receivers LoRa Easy available in Modbus, BACnet, and HTTP versions. They can receive data from up to 50 Enless sensors (Enless only). The data is then natively decoded and converted into a Modbus table, BACnet objects, or sent as JSON to an HTTP server.
LoRa Easy mode LoRa Easy the simplest and most cost-effective way to easily process data from Enless sensors on your BMS.
How a Black Ball Probe Works
A Black Ball sensor measures the apparent temperature. It absorbs thermal radiation from surfaces such as cold walls, sunlit windows, or heated floors. The apparent temperature reading most closely reflects the temperature felt by the building’s occupants. This comprehensive data allows for precise adjustment of HVAC systems, combining true comfort with energy efficiency.
