ZigSens wireless sensor network for gas sensing

Wireless sensor platform based on IEEE 802.15.4

• Wireless sensor network

  • IEEE 802.15.4 with mesh capability
  • 2.4GHz ISM Band
  • Autoconfiguration and discovery of nodes
  • Based on Telegesis ETRX2
  • Hardware supported encryption
  • Simple AT command set
• Can be equipped with a broad variety of electrochemical cells
• Special version for low power metal oxide gas sensors
• Battery operated with standard AA batteries
• Temperature sensor
• Optional integrated microcontroller or RS232 TTL interface

Every wireless node is equipped with a gas sensor and a temperature sensor. Currently ZigSens supports electrochemical sensors and metal oxide sensors for a variety of different gases.

The ZigSens platform is integrated into MultiSens. By connecting a USB or RS232 interface to a PC, the measurement data from a ZigBee network can directly be recorded and evaluated with MultiSens.
