Efento 4-20 mA Sensor Interface
The Efento 4-20 mA Sensor Interface provides seamless connectivity for analog sensors to the cloud, offering a versatile and reliable monitoring solution. This device is equipped with up to 2 analog interfaces (2 x 4-20 mA), allowing simultaneous operation with two external sensors.
Key Features
Cloud Integration
- Data from connected analog sensors can be displayed as current (4-20 mA) or converted to other measurement types via the Efento Cloud platform.
- Build a remote monitoring system by adding the Efento Gateway and Efento Cloud.
Flexible Configuration
- Use the free mobile application to configure the device, set measurement intervals, read data from memory, generate reports, and define alarm thresholds.
- Measurement intervals are user-configurable, ranging from 1 minute to 10 days.
- User-friendly alarm thresholds send immediate alerts to the platform if preset limits are exceeded.
Reliable Data Storage
- Storage capacity of up to 40,000 measurements in internal memory.
- When the memory is full, the oldest data is automatically overwritten.
Power Options
- Operates on a replaceable battery set of 3 x AA (6300 mAh) with up to 5 years of maintenance-free operation.
