1. Overview
1.1 Description
EM500-PP is an outdoor sensor mainly used to pipe pressure measurement and leak detection
through wireless LoRa network. EM500-PP device is battery powered and designed for multiple
mounting ways. It is equipped with NFC (Near Field Communication) and can easily be configured
by a smartphone or a PC software.
Sensor data are transmitted in real-time using standard LoRaWAN protocol. LoRaWAN enables
encrypted radio transmissions over long distance while consuming very little power.
The user can obtain sensor data and view the trend of data change through Ursalink Cloud or thr
ough the user's own Network Server.
