The Milesight UC511 Internal Antenna (IA) is a professional solar-powered LoRaWAN solenoid valve controller, designed for remote irrigation management, automated watering and wireless control of compatible solenoid valves.
Operating on the EU868 frequency band, the controller uses long-range, low-power LoRaWAN communication to manage irrigation systems without requiring wired communication infrastructure.
The UC511 features a built-in 6V / 1.7W solar panel and two rechargeable 2,550mAh batteries, providing an energy-efficient solution for remote installations.
This Internal Antenna (IA) version features an integrated LoRa antenna, eliminating the need for a separate external antenna and simplifying installation.
The controller supports two independent 12V DC latching solenoid valve outputs, enabling remote control of two compatible irrigation valves. It also features two digital inputs for connection to compatible external devices, including pulse-output water meters.
Its IP68-rated enclosure provides protection against dust and water ingress, making the controller suitable for demanding outdoor installations.
When connected to a compatible LoRaWAN gateway, network server and IoT platform, the UC511 enables remote valve operation, monitoring and automated irrigation workflows.
The Milesight UC511 IA is an ideal solution for smart agriculture, greenhouses, parks, landscaping and distributed irrigation systems where compact installation and solar-powered operation are important.
Important: This version uses an internal antenna and does not offer the external 5–24V DC power input available on the External Antenna version. Compatible 12V DC latching solenoid valves are required.
