What You Need

LoRaWAN split-core current clamp

Customer provides:

  • Access to machine power cable (one conductor)

Physical Connection

  1. 1

    Clamp around power wire

    Open the split-core clamp and close it around ONE conductor of the machine's power cable. Self-powered models harvest energy from the magnetic field — no battery needed.

  2. 2

    Verify clamping

    Ensure the clamp is fully closed and the wire is centered in the jaw. Incorrect clamping gives inaccurate readings.

Machine Configuration

  1. 1

    Register on gateway

    Add DevEUI, AppEUI, AppKey to your LoRaWAN Network Server.

  2. 2

    Set threshold

    Configure the current threshold that distinguishes 'running' from 'idle' for this machine type. Typically: >2A = running for small motors, >10A for larger equipment.

Verification

  1. 1

    Run machine

    Start the machine and verify current reading increases. Stop the machine and verify it drops.

  2. 2

    Verify in Flowstate

    Check the Operations dashboard for run/stop state detection based on current draw pattern.
