This sensor is currently retired. We don’t recommend this product for new customers. Don’t worry though, we can still make it for you if it’s absolutely required, but minimum purchase quantities of 10 pieces will apply. We may need extra time to get this back into production, please click the “Help” Button in the lower right corner of the screen to contact us. We do have alternative sensors available. The extra batteries and extended battery life in the updated version has been a great benefit to our customers. Please see the updated product below:
IoT Long Range Wireless AC Current Monitor Sensor
Introducing NCD’s Long Range IoT Wireless AC Current Monitor Sensor, boasting up to a 2 Mile range using a wireless mesh networking architecture. This Long Range IoT Wireless AC Current Monitor Sensor works together with a split core current sensor (included). This IoT current sensor samples current at a high data rate and calculates the RMS value and sends a data transmission to remote modems and gateways. This process is repeated at user defined intervals while sleeping in between to minimize power consumption. This current sensor typically detects amperage greater than 1.5A up to 100 Amps, but it can detect lower amperage by looping the AC source wire multiple times through the sensor.
This device also has the ability to immediately alert users if current consumption exceeds preset limits. This device can be preset to detect a change in current at user-defined time intervals and sending out data if a change is greater than user defined detection range. This change detection feature can be enabled or disabled by user. To minimize power consumption, it sleeps during the time it is not checking for change. Both of these features work in parallel 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 Current Monitor makes it an affordable choice which exceeds the requirements for most of the industrial as well as consumer market applications.
Note: To measure the low current (below 1.5 Amps) pass the wire through the sensor 5 times and divide the current readings by 5.
Transmission Interval
This device sends data periodically, based on user-preset timing intervals.
This device sends data when a user-defined percentage percentage of change in current is detected.

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.
