Q1: Does UC50X support detect dry contact pulses?

Answer: Yes, please refer to How to Wire DI/DO of Milesight UC Series Controller.


Q2: Can UC11-N1 be upgrade to Milesight UC5xx series or other completely different hardware?

Answer: No, different hardware devices cannot upgrade each other.


Q3:

1. What maximum voltage can DO of UC50X switch? Is it an internal Open Collector?

2. Does UC50X support relay output?


Answer:

1. The DO on the UC50X is just a GPIO interface directly from chip side, it can only read/send 0-3.3V signal. When triggering high, the GPIO will send the 3.3V signal out.

2. Not supported, If you need to use relay output, please select UC300 controller, UC50X is a battery powered device and not suit for relay output application which power consumption is high.


Q4: For UC300 LoRaWan version, 

1.Can it be used for water Irrigation?

2.Can it be charged by PV panel?

Answer:

1.This depends on your irrigation switch type, but it's more recommended to use UC51x solenoid valve controller for water irrigation.

2.Yes, but the power of PV panel should be in 5-24V DC.


Q5: Question for UC512:

1. The max data reporting interval is 18 hours, could it increase to 24h or 36h?

2. Could the valve interface voltage ouput time set for 5/6 seconds?

Answer:

1.Yes, please contact Milesight support for details.

2.Yes, please contact Milesight support for details.


Q6: Does UC300 4G version support GPS?

Answer: No, if you need GPS please connect a GPS senor to data interfaces of UC300 to get GPS data or use Milesight UR routers.


Q7: What is the power consumption of the UC300 LoRaWAN version, when it is working?

Answer: The consumption is not more than 1.45W.


Q8: If the internet connection to the gateway is down, how does the UC51x scheduling continue to work?  

Answer: UC51X V2 supports local plan feature to add time plan to switch the solenoid valve regularly without remote control. Please refer to UC51x User Guide for details , note that when using this feature, the device does not support remote command control directly.


Q9: Can you UC300 digital outputs be manually triggered from the IOT cloud, or does it have to be automated triggers setup in dashboard for them to work? 

Answer: Milesight IoT Cloud supports both methods to trigger the DO of UC300 controllers.


Q10: Can UC51X control 9V or 24V solenoid valve to work?

Answer: UC51x can support 5V/9V/12V solenoid valve control, 24V does not support.


Q11: How many end node can connect to UC300 via RS485?

Answer: UC300 can read at most 16 registers via RS485. If each node need to read one register value, UC300 can connect 16 end nodes at most.
