2/4G, 2G/CatM1/NB-IoT, and LoRa/LoRaWAN. LPMDL-110X has the following key characteristics: Power supply - LPMDL-110X is able to operate in low power mode (on battery), with a solar power supply, or with a 12V power supply. Intelligence - the data is transmitted over a widely distributed, cellular network and is automatically gathered in the ThingsLog platform.

The step-up converter converts the voltage of the battery from 3.6 to 12 V, with the same switching mechanism described in the previous section for the control-switched sensor supply. Visit us at www.thingslog.com; (+359) 875 32 80 70; sales@thingslog.com...
Input 1 must be connected to the positive terminal of the power supply. Input 2 must be connected to the negative terminal of the power supply. Battery Lifetime calculation The LPMDL-110x has the following modes of operation: Sleep mode During this mode the Data Logger consumes continuously less than 6.5 uA current.
Transmission mode In this mode the logger transmits readings stored in its internal memory to the ThingsLog platform. The power consumption depends on the network technology, network coverage, and signal level.
