SignalFire RANGER is an IoT (Internet of Things) data logger/transmitter that uses LTE-M/NB-IoT technology to bring sensor data directly to the cloud solution. Data is transmitted over cellular networks using the MQTT/Sparkplug protocol directly to data presentation systems for a complete monitoring and alerting service, and can be easily integrated into an existing system.
The built-in RANGER I/O consists of two digital inputs, one analog input, and one relay output. The digital inputs can detect on/off status or frequencies up to 2kHz for pulse counting and totalizing applications. The analog input supports a 1-5Vdc or 4-20mA device and supplies power to the sensor from the built-in battery pack. The relay output is a latching single-pole to provide on/off control to a local device.
In addition to the built-in I/O, the RANGER supports an optional expansion module to support additional sensor types including Modbus, HART, SDI-12, RTD plus additional analog and digital inputs.
The RANGER comes complete with the SignalFire cloud interface ready mobile device to monitor, trend and receive alarms either via SMS or email. In addition, the cloud platform provides remote configuration and troubleshooting of the RANGER and its connected sensor(s), and the relay output can be controlled from the cloud solution for remote control of pumps, motors and valves.
