€273.00
The Robust LoRaWAN Sensor for Temperature Measurement in Outdoor and Industrial Applications
The Nano Sensorics ULTRA TempHu is a heavy-duty outdoor sensor for the complete acquisition of temperature values via 4 external temperature probes. The ULTRA TempHu is housed in a room sensor enclosure, designed for wall mounting, and powered by 2 “D-cell” lithium batteries. The integrated advanced intelligent (AI) calculation algorithm ensures reliable temperature measurements and continuous automatic or manual calibration via downlink message. Data transmission is performed via a Class A LoRaWAN® radio network.
With four independent temperature probes, multiple measuring points can be monitored simultaneously from a single device – ideal for predictive maintenance, process optimization, and the protection of critical assets. The super robust enclosure is rated IP67/IP68 and is therefore designed for permanent use in harsh outdoor and industrial environments.
Four Independent Temperature Probes on One Device
The ULTRA TempHu simultaneously records up to four temperature measuring points with high accuracy.
4x Temperature Probes
Four independent external temperature probes with 1–2 m cable length, depending on the probe variant.
Measuring Range -40 to 180 °C
Accuracy of max. ±1 °C or ±0.4 °C depending on the temperature range.
IP67 / IP68
Super robust enclosure for permanent use in outdoor and industrial environments.
AI Calculation Algorithm
Integrated intelligent algorithm with automatic or manual calibration via downlink.
Up to 15 Years Battery Life
Operation via 2 D-cell lithium batteries, runtime depending on settings and environment.
Individually Selectable: Cable Length of the Temperature Probes
The external temperature probes of the ULTRA TempHu are available with different cable lengths depending on the sensing option.
Please note: The desired cable length must be specified before ordering, as the temperature probes are supplied with permanently attached cables.
Cable Length 1 Meter
Temperature probe with 1 m long, permanently attached cable.
Cable Length 2 Meters
Temperature probe with 2 m long, permanently attached cable for more distant measuring points.
How the ULTRA TempHu Is Constructed
The enclosure measures approximately 157 x 94 x 50 mm (6.2" x 3.7" x 1.97"), is significantly more robust and larger than that of the standard TempHu sensors, and weighs 200 g without batteries.
Enclosure
Super robust plastic enclosure made of ASA+PC-FF with IP67/IP68 protection rating, designed for permanent mounting in industrial and outdoor environments. Integrated mounting holes on the rear ensure durable wall mounting.
Four Cable Glands with Temperature Probes
Four cable glands emerge from the underside of the enclosure, each with an external temperature probe connected via a 1–2 m long cable. The probes are mounted directly on or in the object to be monitored.
Battery Compartment
Inside the enclosure is the battery compartment for 2 lithium D-cells that supply power to the sensor.
Button and LED Indicator
A button is used to reset the device and to immediately attempt reconnection to the LoRaWAN network. A green LED indicates the connection status and can additionally be switched on, off, or toggled for 5 seconds via downlink command.
Labeling
On the rear of the sensor there is a label with sensor name, serial number, production date, and QR code.

Probe and Enclosure Mounting in Industrial Environments
The installation manual describes both the mounting of the temperature probes and the enclosure in detail.
Probe Mounting
Each temperature probe is mounted directly on or in the object to be monitored, e.g. on pipes, motors, bearings, pumps, heat exchangers, busbars, transformers, electrical connections, metal structures, or industrial machines. For good measurement accuracy, good thermal contact should be ensured, the probe firmly fixed, air gaps avoided, and unwanted heat sources nearby bypassed.
Surface Mounting
For surface measurements, the manufacturer recommends cleaning the mounting surface, using a thermal conductive material if necessary, securing the probe with suitable clamps, brackets, or metal fasteners, and insulating it if required to minimize the influence of ambient air.
Cable Protection
Probe cables should be routed without strong tensile forces or sharp bends, protected against abrasion, secured with cable ties or retaining clips, and kept away from moving machine parts. If necessary, a protective conduit or flexible cable protection is recommended.
Enclosure Mounting
The enclosure is mounted on a stable wall, on industrial equipment, in control cabinets (if permitted), or on load-bearing elements near the monitored system. Locations with continuous mechanical impact, strong vibration, standing water, open flame, or temperatures outside the permissible range should be avoided.
Fastening
Stainless steel screws or metal bolts (diameter 4–5 mm, length 30–40 mm) with stainless steel washers are recommended, as well as dowels when mounting on concrete or masonry. After mounting, the firm seating of the enclosure should be checked.
Cable Routing & Environmental Conditions
Cables should be routed as short as possible, away from high-voltage lines, and mechanically protected, e.g. via cable ducts. Water accumulation at the cable entries should be avoided; cable glands must remain tightly tightened to maintain the enclosure protection.
Installation Check
After installation, it should be verified that all probes are firmly seated, the cable routing is mechanically unloaded, the enclosure is firmly mounted, LoRaWAN® communication is working, and all four measuring channels deliver valid values; if necessary, the measured values can be compared with a reference thermometer.
Manufacturer’s note: Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel in compliance with the applicable electrical and industrial safety regulations. The enclosure and temperature probes must not be modified, and the permissible operating temperature range must not be exceeded. The installation should be regularly checked for cable damage, loose fastenings, or environmental influences; damaged cables or probes must be replaced promptly.
Factory-Calibrated and Low-Maintenance
The ULTRA TempHu is factory-calibrated and requires no further maintenance in normal operation.
Thanks to the integrated intelligent calculation algorithms (AI) and the Automatic Baseline Correction (ABC) technology from Nano Sensorics, the sensor is maintenance-free in normal environments. After installation, a reset can be triggered via the button; the sensor then automatically attempts to connect to the LoRaWAN network within 15 seconds. If the first connection is unsuccessful, further automatic attempts follow after 10 seconds, 60 seconds, 10 minutes, 1 hour, and finally every 24 hours until the connection is successfully established. Apart from occasional battery replacement, the ULTRA TempHu is maintenance-free.
