The Hanhart S–LAB base receiver uses WLAN / Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11 b/g/n 2.4 GHz) to communicate with the Hanhart S–NET Scientific Cloud. Sub-GHz long-range transmission is used between the S–LAB and the S–Series wireless Sensor Units. The used Wi-Fi module operates within usual 802.11 b/g/n ranges and limitations, while the Sub-GHz offers long-range capabilities up to 150m in line of sight and better signal penetration than Wi-Fi.
If you are not sure whether the transmission system is a good fit for your working environment contact our support team anytime.
Depending on your work environment, conditions for the S–LAB base receiver and S–Series wireless sensors to work in, measurement intervals and transmission distance battery life ranges from several weeks to months. If you are experiencing shorter battery life in your S–Series wireless sensors or S–LAB please check our recommendations for optimum operating conditions.
The S–LAB base receiver can be powered by USB-C cable but additional batteries (3xAA) are recommended to ensure data integrity in the case of a power outage. NiMH rechargeable batteries work well too but they will not be charged when the S–LABn is plugged into USB-C to allow the use of non-rechargeable batteries. The S–Series wireless sensors are powered by 2xAAA batteries only. To enable long battery life in hot operating environment alkaline batteries are recommended.
The S–LAB base receiver can handle up to four different S–SENSOR wireless sensors. You can also add additional base receivers, e.g. for another building on the site with dedicated wireless sensors to feed data to a single S–NET scientific cloud. The binding process is easy and convenient - that way you can use your S–SENSOR units flexible with different S–LAB base receivers.
