MacSync-LRX1 Datasheet
Product Overview
MacSync‑LRX1 is an advanced LoRaWAN® optical rainfall sensor engineered for high‑precision rain detection, rainfall intensity measurement, and real‑time precipitation monitoring. Using a solid‑state optical sensing array, it eliminates mechanical moving parts—offering unmatched reliability, zero maintenance, and accurate rainfall measurement even during light drizzle or high‑intensity storms.
Designed for long‑term outdoor deployment, MacSync‑LRX1 features a rugged IP‑rated enclosure, hydrophobic optical surface, and advanced filtering algorithms that reject dust, insects, and ambient light interference. Its long‑range LoRaWAN® connectivity enables seamless integration across large farmlands, smart‑city networks, industrial automation sites, and environmental monitoring stations.
Powered by Macnman’s ultra‑low‑power architecture, OTA configuration via the Maya App, and onboard data‑buffering for uninterrupted transmission, MacSync‑LRX1 delivers dependable rainfall analytics for irrigation automation, flood‑alert systems, weather intelligence platforms, and climate research installations.

Key Features
Solid‑State Optical Rain Detection Advanced optical sensing technology provides accurate rainfall detection with zero moving parts and no mechanical wear.
Real‑Time Rainfall Intensity Measurement Precisely detects drizzle, moderate rain, and heavy rainfall using high‑resolution optical sampling.
Maintenance‑Free Design Hydrophobic optical surface prevents water adhesion and eliminates clogging, debris accumulation, and mechanical calibration.
Ultra‑Long‑Range LoRaWAN® Connectivity Seamless long‑distance communication for field deployments, smart‑city infrastructure, and remote weather stations.
Rugged Outdoor Construction Engineered with a UV‑resistant, IP‑rated housing for continuous operation under extreme rain, heat, dust, and sunlight exposure.
Low‑Power Architecture Multi‑year battery performance with optimized sleep modes even under frequent rainfall events.
Anti‑Interference Algorithms Intelligent processing eliminates false triggers from insects, dust, vibration, and ambient light.
OTA Configuration via Maya App Configure sampling intervals, reporting modes, and diagnostics wirelessly without accessing the device.
Reliable Data Buffering On‑device storage ensures no rainfall data loss during temporary network outages.
Universal LoRaWAN® Compatibility Works with TTN, ChirpStack, Loriot, Orbiwise, MQTT servers, and private LoRaWAN® networks.
