RS485 Waterproof Ambient Light Sensor (0-200,000 Lux)

The Waterproof Digital Ambient Light Sensor is designed to excel in measuring light intensity across different environments, ranging from 0 to 200,000 Lux. Powered by a DC 5-32V supply and supporting Modbus-RTU 485 communication, it seamlessly integrates with systems like Arduino through compatible expansion boards. This makes it an efficient choice for various technological applications.

The sensor boasts an IP68 waterproof rating, making it completely resistant to water submersion. This feature ensures it thrives in harsh outdoor settings such as weather stations and greenhouses, delivering consistent performance even in the presence of moisture or humidity. For automotive applications, the sensor's durability offers reliable operation over an extended period.

Its wide measurement range and a high accuracy rate of ±5% allow it to detect light from dim indoor areas to overly bright outdoor conditions. With a resolution of 0.01 Lux, the sensor provides precise readings essential for monitoring environments that require critical light management, such as plant growth systems and sophisticated lighting controls.

Integration is straightforward, as the sensor supports the Modbus-RTU 485 protocol, making it compatible with microcontroller platforms like Arduino. Using expansion boards such as the TTL to RS485 module or the Gravity: Active Isolated RS485 to UART Signal Adapter, it connects effortlessly. The wide voltage power supply range ensures versatility, making it adaptable across numerous configurations without complicated wiring.
