Xiaoling 52.2 16 (((
Xiaoling 74.2 17 The Dragino NMDS200 is a(% style="color:blue" %)** NB-IoT Microwave Radar distance sensor**(%%). It uses (% style="color:blue" %)**24Ghz Microwave**(%%) to detect the distance between sensor and different objects. Compare vs ultrasonic or Lidar measurement method, Microwave Radar is (% style="color:blue" %)**more reliable for condensation / dusty environment**(%%). It can sense correct distance even there is water or thick dust on top of the sensor.
Xiaoling 1.5 18
19
Xiaoling 74.2 20 The NMDS200 can be applied to scenarios such as horizontal distance measurement, parking management system, object proximity and presence detection, intelligent trash can management system, robot obstacle avoidance, automatic control, sewer, etc.
Xiaoling 1.5 21
Xiaoling 74.2 22 NMDS200 can (% style="color:blue" %)**measure two distances**(%%): the closest object and next object behind the closest one.
Xiaoling 53.2 23
Xiaoling 74.2 24 NMDS200 (% style="color:blue" %)**supports Alarm Feature**(%%), user can set the NMDS200 to uplink data in a short interval when the distance is out of configured range.
Xiaoling 1.5 25
Xiaoling 70.23 26 NarrowBand-Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is a (% style="color:blue" %)**standards-based low power wide area (LPWA) technology**(%%) developed to enable a wide range of new IoT devices and services. NB-IoT significantly improves the power consumption of user devices, system capacity, and spectrum efficiency, especially in deep coverage.
Xiaoling 1.5 27
Xiaoling 74.2 28 NMDS200 (% style="color:blue" %)**supports different uplink**(%%) methods including (% style="color:blue" %)**TCP, MQTT, UDP, and CoAP**(%%) for different application requirements.
Xiaoling 70.23 29
Xiaoling 74.2 30 NMDS200 is powered by (% style="color:blue" %)**8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery**,(%%) It is designed for long-term use of up to 5 years. (Actually Battery life depends on the use environment, update period & uplink method)
Xiaoling 53.3 31
Xiaoling 74.2 32 To use NMDS200, user needs to check if there is NB-IoT coverage in the field and with the Nb-IoT bands that NMDS200 supports. If local operator support it, user needs to get a** (% style="color:blue" %)NB-IoT SIM card(%%)** from the operator and install into NMDS200 to get NB-IoT network connection.

David Huang 2.1 633 The Li-SICO battery is designed for small current / long period application. It is not good to use a high current, short period transmit method. The recommended minimum period for use of this battery is 5 minutes. If you use a shorter period time to transmit LoRa, then the battery life may be decreased.

If user can't find this pack locally, they can find ER26500 or equivalence without the SPC1520 capacitor, which will also work in most case. The SPC can enlarge the battery life for high frequency use (update period below 5 minutes).
