High Quality for Outside Temperature Sensor - LF-0020 water temperature sensor – Huacheng

Voltage type (0～5V):
T=V / 5 × 70 -20
(T is the measured temperature value (℃), V is the output voltage (V), this formula corresponds to the measurement range -20 ~ 50 ℃)
T=V / 5 × 150 -50
(T is the measured temperature value (℃), V is the output voltage (V), this formula corresponds to the measurement range -50 ~ 100 ℃)
Current type (4～20mA)
T=（I-4）/ 16 × 70 -20
(T is the measurement temperature value (℃), I is the output current (mA), this type corresponds to the measurement range -20 ~ 50 ℃)
T=(I-4)/ 16 × 150 -50
(T is the measured temperature value (℃), I is the output current (mA), this formula corresponds to the measurement range -50 ~ 100 ℃)
Note: The calculation formulas corresponding to different signal outputs and different measurement ranges need to be recalculated!

1. If equipped with a weather station produced by our company, directly connect the sensor to the corresponding interface on the weather station using the sensor cable.
2. If the transmitter is purchased separately, the matching cable sequence of the transmitter is:

3. Transmitter voltage and current output wiring:

1. The serial format
Data bits 8 bits
Stop bit 1 or 2
Check Digit None
Baud rate 9600 Communication interval is at least 1000ms
2. Communication format
[1] Write device address
Send: 00 10 Adress CRC (5 bytes)
Returns: 00 10 CRC (4 bytes)
Note: 1. The address bit of the read and write address command must be 00.
2. Adress is 1 byte and the range is 0-255.
Example: Send 00 10 01 BD C0
Returns 00 10 00 7C
[2] Read device address
Send: 00 20 CRC (4 bytes)
Returns: 00 20 Adress CRC (5 bytes)
Explanation: Adress is 1 byte, the range is 0-255
For example: Send 00 20 00 68
Returns 00 20 01 A9 C0
[3] Read real-time data
Send: Adress 03 00 00 00 02 XX XX
Note: as shown below:

Returns: Adress 03 02 XX XX XX XX

To calculate the CRC code:
1. The preset 16-bit register is FFFF in hexadecimal (that is, all are 1). Call this register the CRC register.
2. XOR the first 8-bit data with the lower bit of the 16-bit CRC register and put the result in the CRC register.
3. Shift the contents of the register to the right by one bit (toward the low bit), fill the highest bit with 0, and check the lowest bit.
4. If the least significant bit is 0: repeat step 3 (shift again), if the least significant bit is 1: the CRC register is XORed with the polynomial A001 (1010 0000 0000 0001).
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until 8 times to the right, so that the entire 8-bit data has been processed.
6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 for the next 8-bit data processing.
7. The CRC register finally obtained is the CRC code.
8. When the CRC result is put into the information frame, the high and low bits are exchanged, and the low bit is first.

Connect the sensor according to the instructions in the wiring method, and then insert the sensor probe into the soil to measure the temperature, and supply power to the collector and the sensor to obtain the water temperature at the measurement point.  

1. Please check whether the packaging is intact and check whether the product model is consistent with the selection.
2. Do not connect with power on, and then power on after checking the wiring.
3. Do not arbitrarily change the components or wires that have been soldered when the product leaves the factory.
4. The sensor is a precision device. Please do not disassemble it by yourself or touch the surface of the sensor with sharp objects or corrosive liquids in order to avoid damaging the product.
5. Please keep the verification certificate and certificate of conformity, and return it with the product when repairing.

1. When the output is detected, the display indicates that the value is 0 or is out of range. Check whether there is obstruction from foreign objects. The collector may not be able to obtain the information correctly due to wiring problems. Please check whether the wiring is correct and firm.
2. If it is not the above reasons, please contact the manufacturer.
