Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)​

What parameters does the MacSync Water Quality Sensor measure?​

The sensor can measure up to 7 water quality parameters simultaneously, including dissolved oxygen, pH, ORP, conductivity/salinity, turbidity, ammonia nitrogen, and temperature.

Is the sensor suitable for continuous deployment in outdoor environments?​

Yes. The sensor is IP68-rated and designed with robust materials for continuous underwater or harsh outdoor monitoring in lakes, rivers, tanks, and wastewater facilities.

How accurate are the sensor readings?​

Each sensor module is individually calibrated and offers high accuracy across its specified range. For example, the pH sensor provides ±0.1 pH accuracy, and dissolved oxygen is accurate to ±2% F.S.

Does the sensor have a self-cleaning mechanism?​

Yes. It is equipped with an automatic cleaning brush system to prevent biofouling and ensure consistent accuracy during long-term monitoring.

What communication protocol does it support?​

The sensor communicates via RS-485 using the Modbus/RTU protocol. When integrated with the MacSync LoRaWAN® transmitter, the data is sent wirelessly over LoRaWAN® networks (Class A & C supported).

How is the sensor powered?​

The MacSync water quality sensor system includes a 19,000 mAh battery for long-term operation. An optional solar panel can be used for maintenance-free outdoor deployment.

Can I access real-time and historical data?​

Yes. Data is transmitted to the cloud through LoRaWAN®, and you can view real-time and historical sensor readings using the Macnman Maya platform.

What are the typical applications of this sensor?​

This sensor is ideal for aquaculture monitoring, smart city water systems, wastewater treatment plants, irrigation water quality management, and industrial effluent monitoring.
