- High-Low Temperature Test - determine performance under adverse temperature conditions.
- Conformance Test - whether the collected values of multiple devices are consistent
- Waterproof Test
- Freezing Test
- Long-Range Communication Test - whether the device loses packets under long-distance transmission
- R&D and Production Test - to test the pass rate of multiple devices under factory conditions
Hardware Overview
SenseCAP LoRaWAN S2105 Sensor measures moisture, temperature and EC at the range of 0 ~ 100% (m³/m³), -40 ~ 80℃, and 0 to 23 dS/m respectively. Soil electrical conductivity (EC) is a metric of the salt content in the soil which will affect crop yield and quality, plant nutrient availability, and the activity of soil microbes. S2105 can be widely applicable in soil sensing scenarios. It is specifically optimized for OTA with built-in Bluetooth, which enables quick setup and update. Benefiting from LoRa and IP66 design, this sensor features stability and reliability and can cover a long transmission range while keeping lower power consumption. Unlike wireline devices, it is battery-powered, reducing the workload and complexity of the deployment, and can be disassembled and installed in a few minutes.
It can cover a transmission range of 2km in urban scenes and 10km in line-of-sight scenes while keeping lower power consumption during the transmission process. Together with a replaceable battery that supports up to 10 years of usage and an industrial IP66 enclosure. It supports -40 ~ 85℃ operating temperature and can be deployed in harsh environments.
Application

LoRaWAN Frequency
S210x Devices are manufactured to support the universal frequency plan from 863MHz ~928MHz in one SKU. That is to say, every single device can support the frequency plans below:
| Frequency Plan | Common Name | Sub-band |
|---|---|---|
| EU863-870 | EU868 | ___ |
| US902-928 | US915 | Sub-band from 1 to 8 |
| AU915-928 | AU915 | Sub-band from 1 to 8 |
