Product Configuration

Hardware Setup

The RAK12005 is an electroconductive-liquid detect module used for detecting water and other electroconductive
liquids. WisBlock can integrate this module, which makes it easy to build up a data acquisition system to help
protect your assets from rain or fog damage.

For more information about RAK12005, refer to the 

Datasheet

.

The RAK12005 module gives information about:

Rain/Water Detect - measures resistance changes caused by water or condensed fog.
