The Decentlab DL-LID-002 is a laser distance and leveling sensor designed to measure distances of up to 40 meters via LoRaWAN. Thanks to its “set up and measure” design, the device can be used immediately without complex setup. Key technical features at a glance:
- Time-of-flight measurement: Uses infrared laser pulses to measure distances or heights without physical contact.
- Statistical Data Analysis: Reporting of calculated values, including the median and percentiles, to assess measurement quality.
- Rugged Housing: Features a weatherproof and impact-resistant polycarbonate housing with an IP67 rating for outdoor use.
This Class A device operates at temperatures ranging from -20 to 50 degrees Celsius and features a sensor head with an IPX7 protection rating. It includes a built-in omnidirectional antenna and is powered by two alkaline C batteries, enabling unattended monitoring for several years. A typical application scenario is water level monitoring for flood protection. This product is well-suited for this scenario because the laser technology allows data to be collected from a safe distance above the water’s surface.

The sensor is designed for outdoor remote monitoring, including snow and water level monitoring, flood detection, ranging, and presence monitoring.
The device uses laser-based time-of-flight technology to measure distances ranging from 0 to 40 meters, depending on the shape and reflectivity of the target.
The sensor offers a resolution of 1 mm for averaged samples. For distances under 2 meters, accuracy is +/- 50 mm, while for distances over 2 meters, it is +/- 1% of the distance or +/- 25 mm.
The device supports a wireless range of more than 10 km in line-of-sight conditions and approximately 2 km in suburban environments.
The sensor is powered by two alkaline C batteries (LR14). It is highly energy-efficient, with power consumption at or below 0.5 mW when operating at a 10-minute interval.
Yes, the transmitter features a weatherproof, impact-resistant, and UV-resistant polycarbonate enclosure with an IP66/IP67 rating. It operates in temperatures between -20 and 50 degrees Celsius and humidity levels from 0 to 100%.
The default sampling and data upload interval is 10 minutes, but these settings are fully configurable to meet specific project requirements.
