RAK Sensor Probe IO Multi Protocols
RAK Sensor Probe IO Multi Protocols
The Sensor Probe IO is an accessory for the Sensor Hub solution platform. It supports various communication protocols like RS-485, SDI-12, 4-20 mA signal, and DI/DO.
The Probe IO allows the connection of RAKwireless modules as well as third-party sensors to the Sensor Hub ecosystem. RAK provides the Probe IO with a selection of sensors that you can connect and configure via the WisToolBox app to ensure the best solution for your project.
The Sensor Probe IO is weatherproof with an IP67 rating and can be used indoors or outdoors.
Several Sensor Probe IOs can be connected to a single Sensor Hub port using the Splitter cable. The distance between the Sensor Hub and Sensor Probe can be extended with the Extension cable.
NOTE: The Sensor Probe IO needs an external power supply to be connected to the Sensor Hub.
NOTE: The Probe IO could not be used as a standalone product. You need the RAK2560 Sensor Hub in order to use this probe.
