The Dragino WQS-LB2 is a LoRaWAN water quality monitoring transmitter designed to collect measurements from compatible external water quality probes and transmit the data wirelessly to a LoRaWAN network.
Based on the Dragino WQS-LB platform, the system supports the connection of one to three water quality probes, enabling multiple water parameters to be monitored using a single wireless transmitter.
Depending on the connected probes, the system can measure pH, electrical conductivity (EC), dissolved oxygen (DO), oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), turbidity, residual chlorine and chemical oxygen demand (COD).
The external probes communicate with the transmitter through an RS485 interface using Modbus RTU, providing a reliable wired connection between the measurement instruments and the LoRaWAN communication unit.
The transmitter uses LoRaWAN 1.0.3 Class A technology for long-range, low-power wireless communication. The EU868 version is intended for compatible European LoRaWAN networks.
With Bluetooth 5.1 configuration, LoRaWAN downlink commands and wireless OTA firmware updates, the WQS platform supports convenient installation, configuration and ongoing maintenance.
The battery-powered design makes the device suitable for monitoring locations where a permanent wired network connection is unavailable. The exact battery capacity and power characteristics of the WQS-LB2 variant should be confirmed against its dedicated manufacturer documentation.
The modular architecture allows users to select the most appropriate probes for their application, from basic pH and conductivity monitoring to more advanced wastewater and industrial water quality measurements.
The Dragino WQS-LB2 is suitable for water treatment installations, environmental monitoring, aquaculture, industrial processes and remote water quality monitoring systems.
Important: The transmitter does not measure water quality parameters without compatible external probes. Water quality sensors must be purchased separately. Actual supported probe combinations, operating autonomy and battery specifications should be confirmed for the WQS-LB2 hardware version.
