Environmental Sensors (Spec Sheet)
The PathSpot™ PowerTemp™ Temperature & Humidity Loggers are industrial-grade wireless sensors designed to monitor environmental conditions with precision and reliability. Featuring a compact, low-profile design, they enable discreet installation in a variety of settings.
Data is transmitted via the LoRaWAN™ protocol, offering long-range communication and exceptional signal penetration, even through fully metal-lined refrigeration units, freezers, and building structures. In unobstructed environments, line-of-sight range typically exceeds half a mile.
For applications requiring continuous or high-accuracy temperature monitoring, an optional external temperature probe is available. The probe connects to the logger via a 2-meter cable, providing flexibility for remote or immersion-based measurements. This is not required to be utilized if only ambient temperatures are needed

📡 Wireless Communication
-
Protocol: LoRaWAN Specification 1.0.3, Class A
-
Transmit Power Options:
-
125 mA @ 20 dBm (long-range, higher consumption)
-
44 mA @ 14 dBm (energy-saving mode)
-
dBm: (Decibel-Milliwatts) Measures the power level of a signal
-
-30 dBm = very strong signal
-
-70 dBm = good/average signal
-
-100 dBm = very weak signal
mA: (Milliamps) How much power the device is currently drawing
- The higher the dBm (signal) the more power will be drawn (mA)
Reference Point: 0 dBm = 1mW
- The scale is logarithmic: +10dBm = 10 mW & +20dBm = 100mW

⚠️ Important Notes & Disclaimers
-
🔥 Temperature Safety Warning:
The logger must not be exposed to temperatures exceeding 100 °C, as this may result in fire or explosion.
Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 60 °C significantly reduces battery lifespan. -
🔋 Battery Life Variability:
Battery performance depends heavily on environmental conditions and configuration.
Under typical settings (default transmit power, external probe connected, 20-minute ping rate), the average battery life is approximately 3 years. -
