Q

UICK START

 

To start using your sensor, simply go to: 

https://console.radiobridge.com

 

From here you can register your device and immediately start receiving messages from the 
sensor. 

The sensor configuration, message monitoring, and setting up alerts is usually self-explanatory 
through the user interface. For further explanations of any sensor features, you may refer to this 
user guide.

Sensor Overview 

The wireless sensors designed and manufactured by Radio Bridge provide full sensor to cloud 
solutions for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The water sensor uses a water/liquid sensor 
probe  to  detect  the  presence  of  water  or  other  liquids.  When  the  presence  of  water  or 
another liquid is detected, an alert is sent over the wireless network. Versions of the sensor 
support the major LPWAN standards such as Sigfox, LoRa/LoRaWAN, and SubGig. 

Features include: 

 

Built-in radio that talks directly with the wireless network. Standards include: 

o

 

Sigfox 

o

 

LoRa/LoRaWAN 

o

 

SubGig® 

 

Two types of tamper detection: enclosure tamper and wall mount tamper 

o

 

Enclosure tamper detects if the packaging of the sensor itself is opened or broken 

o

 

Wall  mount  tamper  detects  if  the  sensor  has  been  removed  from  the  wall  or 
mounting point 

 

20,000-1M+ transmissions on a single battery and a 5-10 year battery life depending on 
usage (see Battery section) 

 

Fully integrated internal antenna 

 

Over the air sensor configuration in the field 

 

Automatic low battery reporting and supervisory messages
