ZigSense models ZS24-REU-001 and ZS09-REU-010 wireless pulse counting nodes

ZigSense has extended its Australian-made wireless sensor node product line to include two new pulse counting nodes. Models ZS24-REU-001 (2.4 GHz) and ZS09-REU-010 (900 MHz) are designed for ultralow-power pulse counting metering applications.

The user can select between ‘AA’ or ‘D’ Li battery sources or use an external DC supply of up to 24 VDC to power the node. Low current consumption combined with an optimised sleep cycle may enable the node to be powered by a single ‘D’ Li battery for close to eight years.

Up to four contact closure pulse inputs are continuously monitored in the background while the node is in sleep mode. Default pulse frequency is 5 Hz with 50 Hz as an option.

Totalised pulse counting data is transferred from remote wireless nodes to a ZigSense gateway where it is made available as Modbus holding registers. ZigSense pulse counting nodes are built into an IP67 enclosure and can be optionally supplied as OEM boards.
