M EP510CB
The MEP510 microclimate sensor node
offers proven wireless technology and
an integrated digital temperature/
relative humidity sensor in a versatile
outdoor package powered by a
standard 2/3A lithium battery.
The MEP wireless microclimate monitoring system is pre-configured with
Crossbow’s reliable self-forming,
self-healing mesh network technology
(XMesh) which offers users increased
radio coverage range and extended
battery life. Individual MEP510 nodes
can be purchased for use in standalone monitoring applications or to
enhance or expand on existing MEP
system deployments.
MEP510 Block Diagram
The MEP510’s integrated temperature
and humidity sensor is a low-power
digital device, accurate to ± 2ºC over a
measurement range of -40ºC to 85ºC.
The accompanying humidity sensor
measures 0-100% relative humidity
with typical accuracy of 3.5%. The
MEP510 is powered by an internal
battery pack with a battery life of
approximately 6 months. A removable top mounting cover allows for
easy field replacements. The MEP510
has been deployed in a wide variety
of both indoor and outdoor environments. Please contact Crossbow for
additional information on current
MEP510 system deployments. Advanced Users
The MEP nodes are fully
programmable and supported by
Crossbow’s MoteWorks™ software
platform. MoteWorks enables the
development of custom sensor
applications that are optimized for
low-power, battery operated, ad-hoc
mesh networks.
Base Station
The MEP510 communicates wirelessly
with a base station either directly or
via another MEP node using Crossbow’s
XMesh Network technology. Base
station options include the
self-contained MBR410 serial RS-232
gateway.
