Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)​

What is the measurement range of the MacSync-LU7 ultrasonic sensor?​

The MacSync-LU7 supports long-distance measurement up to 765 cm with a typical accuracy of ±1% of the target distance, making it ideal for industrial applications requiring high-precision readings.

Can the sensor be used in noisy or reflective environments?​

Yes. The sensor features real-time auto-calibration and advanced noise rejection to ensure accurate readings even in acoustically challenging environments such as factories, tunnels, or wastewater systems.

Is the MacSync-LU7 weatherproof?​

Absolutely. The sensor is enclosed in a rugged IP65 housing, with an optional IP67 upgrade, making it suitable for outdoor deployments in rain, dust, or high-humidity conditions.

How is the device powered and how long does it last?​

It is equipped with a 19,000 mAh inbuilt lithium battery, optimized for multi-year operation under typical usage. Optional solar panel support is also available for remote or off-grid applications.

What communication protocols does the sensor support?​

The MacSync-LU7 supports LoRaWAN® Class A & C communication and is also compatible with Macnman Beam protocol for direct peer-to-peer communication when needed.

Is BLE configuration supported?​

Yes. The sensor includes Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for easy local configuration, diagnostics, and deployment using the Macnman Maya App on Android devices.

The sensor supports periodic, threshold-based, and event-triggered uplinks, allowing flexible reporting based on your application needs.

Which LoRaWAN® networks is it compatible with?​

The MacSync-LU7 is compatible with all major LoRaWAN® network servers, including TTN, ChirpStack, Loriot, Helium, and Macnman’s own cloud platform for visualization and data management.
