Product description

Gaia 300 is a 3-channel wireless transmitter designed for temperature measurements using type K thermocouples. The device transmits temperature readings wirelessly to the cloud using the Sigfox network or Bluetooth®. Sigfox is a global wireless network dedicated to the Internet of Things (IoT).

The transmitter is designed to withstand harsh environments and outdoor use. It is IP64 rated, meaning it ensures dust-tight protection and can withstand water spray from any direction. The rubber frame offers increased shock absorption and better handling.

Gaia 300 has innovative features, including integrated Bluetooth capability and internal memory backup able to store 35.260 measurements equal to a full year of operation, to help ensure that data is not lost in case of limited coverage.

The temperature readings can be accessed in real-time and remotely in the Maturix® Web Portal. The concrete strength is estimated based on the temperature history using the Maturity Method (ASTM C1074).

Availability

Gaia 300 is available in three variants: one that is certified for use in Sigfox RC1 (20300-1), one that is certified for use in Sigfox RC2 (20300-2) and one that is certified for use in Sigfox RC4 (20300-4).
