wireless monitor (also called radio) is a transceiver that monitors the health of a light and wirelessly provide status to a central location. It will also provide the health of a battery backup in light. In an ideal condition, the 915 MHz frequency band (sub 1GHz) signal has a range of up to 4,000 feet. Device has an interface 4 wire assembly harness to power up with 5 Volt / Ground and TTL serial transmit and receive interface data lines. Device can also be adapted to connect to a digital addressable lighting interface
(DALI) for network based systems that control lighting applications. A provision application tool is included with the wireless monitor for viewing and setting the device parameters. 3 Applications Internet of Things (IoT) Metering Smart city Sensor networks Industrial Automation 4 Hardware/ Software Needed Computer or Tablet (Windows 10 or Higher), not included with product Provision Application, included with product 6 Feet Custom Cable (USB B to Mini USB), sold separately 5 Warning Important device safety and handling information.
