RS485 Waterproof Ambient Light Sensor (0-200,000 Lux)

Introduction

The Waterproof Digital Ambient Light Sensor is a durable and versatile device designed to measure light intensity from 0 to 200,000 Lux. It utilizes the Modbus-RTU 485 communication protocol and operates on a DC 5-32V power supply, ensuring seamless integration with systems like Arduino via compatible expansion boards. With an IP68 waterproof rating, it can withstand complete submersion, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications, including weather stations, greenhouses, outdoor lighting, and automotive smart lights. Its high accuracy (±5%), broad measurement range, and robust construction make it a reliable solution for demanding environments.

IP68 Waterproof Design

Built to withstand harsh conditions, the sensor meets the IP68 standard, allowing full submersion without damage. This makes it suitable for weather stations, greenhouses, and automotive applications, ensuring reliable performance in wet or humid environments.

Wide Range and High Accuracy

With a measurement range of 0-200,000 Lux and a resolution of 0.01 Lux, the sensor delivers precise light intensity readings across diverse conditions, from dim indoor spaces to bright outdoor settings. Its ±5% accuracy ensures dependable data for applications like plant growth monitoring and lighting control.

Easy Integration and Compatibility

Supporting the Modbus-RTU 485 protocol, the sensor integrates easily with Arduino and other microcontrollers using expansion boards like the TTL to RS485 module or the Gravity: Active Isolated RS485 to UART Signal Adapter. Its simple wiring and wide voltage range (DC 5-32V) provide flexibility for various setups.
