Battery Specs
Sensor Radio Technology
NCD Long Range Wireless Sensors are available with many radio options, which should be carefully chosen based on the country of installation. NCD uses Digi radios exclusively because of their best-in-class range, reliability, wide operating temperature, and low power operation. Please note that not all options are legal for use in all areas, so it’s important to make the right selection during purchase. NCD manufactures sensors based on the radio options chosen, we do not typically restrict radios to certain countries so please check local laws BEFORE purchase. Here, we will explain the radio options in greater detail to help guide users into the correct radio based on installation country.
900MHz for Use in the United States
If NCD sensors will be installed within the United States, the 900MHz (North America) option is the best choice, offering the longest possible range of up to 2 Miles Line of Sight and up to 28 Miles using High-Gain Antennas. This option can typically work up to 1,000 feet indoors (depending on building materials, concrete and steel building typically reduce the operational range significantly). This option is typically not legal for use outside North America.
868MHz for Use in Europe
If NCD sensors will be installed in Europe, the 868MHz (Europe Only) option is the best choice, offering the longest possible range of up to 14.5km Line of Sight. This option is typically not legal for use outside of Europe.
2.4GHz for Worldwide Use
The 2.4GHz Option is generally legal for use in most countries, including Europe and the United States and offers a range of up to 2 Miles (3200 Meters) Line of Sight or up to 300 feet (about 90 Meters) indoors. Because of the widespread use of 2.4GHz, the rated ranges are rarely achieved. The 900MHz and 868MHz communication modules are a far better choice for users in the United States and Europe respectively. Users who may require worldwide compliance should use the 2.4GHz option, but this option should be considered if the above options are not legal for use.

NCD Wireless Sensor Transmitters operate on Batteries with the following specifications. Please note that battery life will be severely impacted if batteries are not installed correctly. NCD Wireless Sensor Transmitters were designed and characterized for use with Energizer L91 Non-Rechargeable Lithium Ion Batteries ONLY. All other batteries will not yield the performance or environmental characteristics as outlined in this document. Care should be taken to replace all batteries at one time and not mix old batteries with new batteries. Do not mix batteries or use batteries from any other manufacturer, Replace ONLY with six new pieces of Energizer L91 AA battery. The Energizer batteries specified for use with this device do not require ventilation and will not build up gases making the unsafe for operation.
This device includes reverse polarity battery protection by way of three in-built non-serviceable PPTC Resettable Fuses. PPTCs increase resistance as temperature increases due to increased flow. Designed to limit unsafe currents while allowing constant safe current levels, resistance will “reset” automatically when the fault is removed and temperature returns to a safe levels. During a fault condition, it is normal for one or more PPTC temperature to increase. Temperature will remain elevated until the fault is corrected or the batteries charge is depleted, whichever comes first. For maximum battery life, we suggest checking the battery orientation carefully prior to securing the lid of the sensor to the main body of the NCD Wireless Sensor Transmitter. Installing batteries backwards will result in an excessively short battery life and significantly diminished operational life, but the device will remain safe to handle as it does NOT pose a risk of fire or explosion.
Battery Orientation Note: Please note that one battery is installed in the lid of the enclosure in a different orientation in comparison to the other five batteries. Also note the battery clip on the left size is very close to an adjacent battery clip. These two clips that are in close proximity are electrically connected, so there is no risk of shorting should their be accidental contact between the two specified clips. The center clip on each battery has no electrical connection, and is used solely for the purpose of firmly holding the battery in place during a vibration or impact event.
