Piconode overview
The Worldsensing LS-G6-Piconode comprises a configurable single channel, a thermistor, and a pulse counter node.
It can be regarded as a simpler version of LS-G6-VOLT node, in the sense that it is compatible with sensors of
different analog signal output, such as full Wheatstone bridge, potentiometer/ratiometric, single-ended voltage
and thermistors, but with the novelty of being able to read potential-free (dry contact) pulses. The sensor’s voltage
excitation required to be compatible with the piconode is 5 VDV up to 70 mA. A distinctive feature of Piconode as
compared to LS-G6-VOLT and LS-G6 vibrating wire nodes is that it collects and transmits the internal temperature
at each reading, to an accuracy of 2 °C.
Unlike other LS-G6 nodes, the antenna in a piconode is located internally in the casing upper cover. The coverage
tests results prove that distances over five kilometres can be achieved in urban areas.
