DDS45-NB -- NB-IoT Distance Detection Sensor User Manual

The Dragino DDS45-NB is a (% style="color:blue" %)** NB-IoT Distance Detection Sensor**(%%) for Internet of Things solution. It is used to measure the distance between the sensor and a flat object. The distance detection sensor is a module that uses (% style="color:blue" %)** ultrasonic sensing technology**(%%) for distance measurement, and (% style="color:blue" %)** temperature compensation**(%%) is performed internally to improve the reliability of data. The DDS45-NB can be applied to scenarios such as horizontal distance measurement, liquid level measurement, parking management system, object proximity and presence detection, intelligent trash can management system, robot obstacle avoidance, automatic control, sewer, bottom water level monitoring, etc.

27

28

It detects the distance (% style="color:blue" %)** between the measured object and the sensor**(%%), and and send IoT platform via NB-IoT network.

29

30

DDS45-NB supports different uplink methods including (% style="color:blue" %)**MQTT, MQTTs, UDP & TCP**(%%) for different application requirement, and support uplinks to various IoT Servers.

31

32

DDS45-NB (% style="color:blue" %)**supports BLE configure **(%%)and(% style="color:blue" %)** OTA update**(%%) which make user easy to use.

33

34

DDS45-NB is powered by (% style="color:blue" %)**8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery**(%%), it is designed for long-term use up to severa years.

35

36

DDS45-NB has optional built-in SIM card and default IoT server connection version. Which makes it works with simple configuration.

== 6.2 Can I use DDS45-NB in condensation environment? ==

DDS45-NB is not suitable to be used in condensation environment. Condensation on the DDS45-NB probe will affect the reading and always got 0.

= 7. Trouble Shooting =

656

657

== 7.1 Why does the sensor reading show 0 or "No sensor" ==

658

659

660

~1. The measurement object is very close to the sensor, but in the blind spot of the sensor.

661

662

2. Sensor wiring is disconnected

663

664

3. Not using the correct decoder

665

666

667

== 7.2 Abnormal readings The gap between multiple readings is too large or the gap between the readings and the actual value is too large ==

668

669

670

1) Please check if there is something on the probe affecting its measurement (condensed water, volatile oil, etc.)

671

672

2) Does it change with temperature, temperature will affect its measurement

673

674

3) If abnormal data occurs, you can turn on DEBUG mode, Please use downlink or AT COMMAN to enter DEBUG mode.

676
