Overview
The Dragino LHT65N-VIB LoRaWAN Vibration Sensor is a high-precision wireless sensing device built for monitoring vibrations, shocks, or accelerations on machinery, structures, or other moving parts. By continuously analyzing motion in three axes, it delivers actionable insights such as vibration amplitude, event counts, and runtime metrics to your IoT platform for condition monitoring and proactive maintenance.
This sensor is optimized for ultra-low-power, long-range data transmission under the LoRaWAN protocol, making it ideal for remote or industrial environments. It also integrates temperature and humidity sensing to enrich context around vibration events (e.g. temperature anomalies or humidity influence). Configuration is flexible via LoRaWAN downlinks or AT commands, and firmware is upgradeable over a programming port.
Key Features & Capabilities
-
3-axis accelerometer: Detects vibration, shock, or acceleration along X, Y, Z axes
-
Vibration alarm & counting: Configurable thresholds trigger alarms or count vibration events
-
Built-in temperature & humidity sensors: Monitor ambient conditions (temp resolution 0.01 °C, humidity resolution 0.04 %RH)
-
Long battery life: 2400 mAh non-rechargeable battery (multi-year operation depending on transmission intervals)
