Q

UICK START

 

 

To start using your sensor, simply go to: 

https://console.radiobridge.com

 

From here you can register your device and immediately start receiving messages from the 
sensor. 

The sensor configuration, message monitoring, and setting up alerts is usually self-explanatory 
through the user interface. For further explanations of any sensor features, you may refer to this 
user guide

Sensor Overview 

The wireless sensors designed and manufactured by Radio Bridge provide full sensor to cloud 
solutions  for  Internet  of  Things  (IoT)  applications.  The  high-precision  tilt  sensor  uses  an 
accelerometer to detect the angle from a 0-degree vertical orientation. When the sensor is 
tilted either away from or toward the vertical orientation by a specified amount, an alert is 
sent to the wireless network. The high-precision tilt sensor has precision to 0.1 degrees. The 
thresholds for triggering a tilt event are configurable over the air. 

 

Features include: 

 

Built-in radio that talks directly with LoRaWAN wireless networks 

 

Two types of tamper detection: enclosure tamper and wall mount tamper 

o

 

Enclosure tamper detects if the packaging of the sensor itself is opened or broken 
Available on the RBSx01, RBSx05, and RBSx06 sensors. 

o

 

Wall  mount  tamper  detects  if  the  sensor  has  been  removed  from  the  wall  or 
mounting point. Available on the RBSx01 and RBSx05 sensors. 

 

200,000+ transmissions on a single battery and a 5-10 year battery life depending on usage. 
See Battery section for more detail. 

 

Fully integrated internal antenna 

 

Over the air sensor configuration in the field 

 

Automatic low battery reporting and supervisory messages
