Sensors

The Gen 2 MeshNet Sensors contains an internal log which prevents data loss if ever the Ethernet Network or Power fails. They are capable of storing between 1024 and 2048 (model dependent) complete sets of the Temperature, Humidity, External Temperature Probe, and/or Analog Input readings. This will allow data to be stored for 10 days (1024 buffer capacity) at a 15 minute log/transmission rate.

All of the Gen 2 MeshNet sensor line will allow you to connect a stainless steel temperature probe which may be submerged. The MN-ENV-H-X-WP should be utilized in applications where the transmitter portion of the sensor must also be subjected to the wet environment. The temperature probes are also capable of monitoring temperatures as high as 125°C (257°F) and as low as -55°C (-67°F). Even wider temperature extremes may be monitored with the MN-RTD4W-H. Compatible 4 Wire RTD probes are available for monitoring temperature ranges from -200°C to 850°C(-328°F to 1562°F).

The Gen 1 MeshNet ENV sensor is available with an optional relay. The sensor is capable of controlling the relay automatically in response to alarm conditions or under user commands.

Discrete inputs enable all MeshNet Gen 1 sensors and the Gen 2 THX models to monitor an open/closed state. This functionality paired with a pressure switch, push button, or glass read switch provides you flexibility to track things like the state of doors/windows. See our app note, Utilizing the MeshNet ENV Sensor's Discrete Input for more details. The discrete input within the Generation 1 hardware also features a pulse counter. This can be highly beneficial since it allows you to detect the number of opens/closing instead of just the current state.

All MeshNet Sensor lines offer Temperature and Humidity monitoring options. However, the Generation 1 Sensors are also available with Barometric Pressure and Light sensors.
