    VERVIEW 2.1. Sensor Overview The wireless sensors designed and manufactured by Radio Bridge provide full sensor to cloud solutions for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The ultrasonic level sensor provides high accuracy ultrasonic proximity detection and ranging in air. If the measured distance rises above or falls below the configured thresholds, an alert is sent over the wireless network.

M OUNTING The ultrasonic sensor can measure distances between 500mm to 10m and the sensor must be mounted such that the required distances are within that range.
  • Page 6: Battery Life

    Radio Bridge sensors are shipped with lithium batteries, and these are recommended when the battery needs to be eventually replaced.
  • Page 7: Test Messages

    If the standard Radio Bridge console (console.radiobridge.com) is not used, refer to this section to decode the sensor data and configure the sensor through downlink messages. 7.1. Common Messages There are common messages across all wireless sensors that are defined in the document “Common Sensor Messages”...

    IRELESS LTRASONIC EVEL ENSOR 7.2. Uplink Messages The uplink message (sensor to web application) specific to the sensor is defined in following table. The common uplink messages are not included in this section (see common messages document). Table 5 Uplink Message 0x10: Ultrasonic Level Detection Event Byte Description Ultrasonic Level Event Payload (see Ultrasonic Level Event...
  • Page 9: Downlink Messages

    IRELESS LTRASONIC EVEL ENSOR The current distance field in the ultrasonic level event uplink message is the current distance measurement in millimeters with a range of 0-9999 (0-10 meters). The distance is automatically calibrated by the device. 7.3. Downlink Messages The downlink message (web application to sensor) specific to the sensor configuration is defined in following table.

    IRELESS LTRASONIC EVEL ENSOR Table 8 Upper distance threshold in mm, upper byte. Default 1,000mm Downlink Configuration Upper distance threshold in mm, lower byte Message for Threshold Mode The upper and lower distance thresholds are unsigned values with units of one millimeter.
  • Page 11: Hold Time

    IRELESS LTRASONIC EVEL ENSOR changes 5mm from the last report. The distance increase and decrease are unsigned values with units in millimeters. Periodic reporting and hold time are described in the sections below. 7.3.3. Hold Time The purpose of the hold time is to add “debounce” or “hysteresis” to the sensor so that it does not send rapid events when the measurements are sitting close to the threshold.
  • Page 12: Periodic Reports

    IRELESS LTRASONIC EVEL ENSOR 7.3.4. Periodic Reports The ultrasonic level sensor can also send periodic updates, and this is defined in byte 1 of both modes. A setting of 0 will disable periodic reporting. The period is defined in 1 hour increments when the most significant bit is 0, and it is defined in 1 minute increments when the most significant bit is 1 as shown in the following table.
