Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the measurement range of the MacRay-Ultrasonic-L-Gne1 sensor?
The MacRay-LU4 supports long-distance measurement up to 765 cm with a typical accuracy of ±1% of the target distance, making it ideal for industrial applications requiring high-precision readings.
Can the sensor be used in noisy or reflective environments?
Yes. The sensor features real-time auto-calibration and advanced noise rejection to ensure accurate readings even in acoustically challenging environments such as factories, tunnels, or wastewater systems.
Is the MacRay-Ultrasonic-L-Gne1 weatherproof?
Absolutely. The sensor is enclosed in a rugged IP65 housing, with an optional IP67 upgrade, making it suitable for outdoor deployments in rain, dust, or high-humidity conditions.
How is the device powered and how long does it last?
It is equipped with a 19,000 mAh inbuilt lithium battery, optimized for multi-year operation under typical usage. Optional solar panel support is also available for remote or off-grid applications.
What communication protocols does the sensor support?
The MacRay-LU4 supports LoRaWAN® Class A & C communication and is also compatible with Macnman Beam protocol for direct peer-to-peer communication when needed.
Is BLE configuration supported?
Yes. The sensor includes Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for easy local configuration, diagnostics, and deployment using the Macnman Maya App on Android devices.
What uplink types are supported?
The sensor supports periodic, threshold-based, and event-triggered uplinks, allowing flexible reporting based on your application needs.
Which LoRaWAN® networks is it compatible with?
The MacRay-LU4 is compatible with all major LoRaWAN® network servers, including TTN, ChirpStack, Loriot, Helium, and Macnman’s own cloud platform for visualization and data management.
