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 ultrasonic level sensor provides high 
accuracy  ultrasonic  proximity  detection  and  ranging  in  air.  If  the  measured  distance  rises 
above or falls below the configured thresholds, an alert is sent over the wireless network.  

 

Features include: 

 

Built-in radio that talks directly with LoRaWAN wireless networks 

 

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 
Available on the RBSx01, RBSx05, and RBSx06 sensors. 

o

 

Wall  mount  tamper  detects  if  the  sensor  has  been  removed  from  the  wall  or 
mounting point. Available on the RBSx01 and RBSx05 sensors. 

 

200,000+ transmissions on a single battery and a 5-10 year battery life depending on usage. 
See Battery section for more detail. 

 

Fully integrated internal antenna 

 

Over the air sensor configuration in the field 

 

Automatic low battery reporting and supervisory messages
