Up to 10 years of battery life
Low-power design: fewer site visits and lower operating costs.
Slave unit
MSU-SD7Multi-sensor slave unit
The MSU-SD7 is the slave version of the MSU-MD7: it comes with the same configuration as standard, in a compact 100 × 75 × 29 mm IP68 enclosure, but has no LTE-M cellular section. It communicates directly with the MSU-MD7 master unit over LoRa or with the gateways over LoRaWAN, and runs on battery for up to 10 years.

Highlights
Add as many measurement points as you need
Multi-sensor
A single device monitors several parameters: temperature, light, movement and radar.
Flexible deployment
Networked with an MSU-MD7 master unit over LoRa, or directly with the gateways over LoRaWAN.
Rugged and reliable
An IP68 UV-resistant polycarbonate enclosure, built for the most demanding industrial environments.
Description
The MSU-SD7 in detail
Ideal for covering a site in detail: each MSU-MD7 master unit drives up to 5 slaves. The MSU-SD7 can also communicate directly with the MSU-SG7 and MSU-G7 gateways over LoRaWAN.
In telecom chambers it goes inside a fibre splice closure or is strapped around it with two cable ties. Like the master unit, it has a cable gland for an external probe and two channels configurable as a probe or a dry contact.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about the MSU-SD7
Answers to the most common questions before choosing this device.
Does the MSU-SD7 need a master unit?
Not necessarily. It transmits over LoRa to an MSU-MD7 master unit, which handles up to 5 slaves, or directly to the MSU-SG7 and MSU-G7 gateways over LoRaWAN. It has no LTE-M cellular section.
What is the difference between the MSU-SD7 and the SU-CD7?
The MSU-SD7 is an IP68 enclosure with a cable gland for an external probe, suitable for outdoor use. The SU-CD7 is an ultra-flat IP65 model, without an external probe, intended for indoor or sheltered environments.
How is the MSU-SD7 attached to a fibre splice closure?
It is installed inside the closure or strapped around it with two cable ties.
How long does the MSU-SD7 battery last?
Up to 10 years on a 3.6 V lithium battery, depending on the configuration.
