Long Range IoT Wireless 4-20mA Current Receiver
Introducing NCD’s Long Range One Channel IoT Wireless 4-20mA Current Receiver, boasting up to a 2 Mile range using a wireless mesh networking architecture. It incorporates a 1 channel 10-bit ADC that samples 4-20mA analog inputs at user defined intervals and transmits the result to remote modems and gateways. Between samples, this device enters a ultra-low power sleep mode to minimize power consumption. This IoT Wireless 4-20mA Current Receiver has an additional feature of detecting change in voltage every 7 seconds (user configurable) and sending out ADC samples if the change in voltage on any channel is greater than 10% (user configurable). Both features work simultaneously to support multiple application areas in one package.
Powered by just 2 AA batteries and an operational lifetime of 500,000 wireless transmissions, a 10 years battery life can be expected depending on environmental conditions and the data transmission interval. Optionally, this sensor may be externally powered.
The long range, price, accuracy, battery life and security features of Long Range IoT Wireless Analog to Digital Converter makes it an affordable choice which exceeds the requirements for most of the industrial as well as consumer market applications.
NOTE: This 4-20mA Current Receiver Does Not Provide Current Loop Power Supply.
This formula can be used to convert a raw Analog Value into 4-20mA.
mA = raw_adc * 0.020
Transmission Interval
This device sends data periodically, based on user-preset timing intervals.
This device sends data when a preset percentage of change is detected on the input.

Not for use in outdoor applications or for use in excessive temperature conditions. Prolonged freezing will prevent batteries from functioning until thawed, using extended temperature range industrial batteries may improve the useful temperature range. Extended freezing applications should use a full-time powered solution. Prolonged exposure to extreme humidity conditions may damage this device. The sensing element is rated for use for 5 years and may be replaced. Exposure to high temperatures may cause the batteries to leak, causing permanent damage to this device. NCD Warranty does not cover battery corrosion or use in excessively smoky environments under any circumstances.
900HP-S3B Wireless Compatibility Notes
Notice: Compatibility Notes Does NOT Apply to the Following Products:
- NCD Enterprise Solutions
- NCD Wireless Sensors
- NCD Enterprise Modems and Gateways
Notice: Compatibility Notes Applies to NCD Industrial Products, Including Fusion, ProXR, ProXR Lite, Taralist, and Reactor Series Products.
Compatibility Notes
When using an 900HP-S3B communication module, it is essential that you use the ZIGMO_PCB to configure the module settings. Long-Range wireless sensors may be programmed over the air without removing the communications module.
A 900HP-S3B Modem or a gateway of some kind that support the 900HP-S3B communications module will also be required.
