Commercial Grade Equipment
- Extra Long Range
Communications range with LoRaWAN is 1000+ feet, which is important for buildings with multiple floors or wings - Secure and Accessible
IoT devices on cellular networks are separate from local network traffic and enable locating sensors in areas where customers do not have a “Wi-Fi/Internet” connection - Battery Backup
With a cellular network backed by battery support, communication is not disrupted by power outages - Long Battery Life
LoRaWAN minimizes draw on battery life (5-8 years)
Gateway’s Communication Hub
- Overview
Main communications hub for sensors
Utilizes cellular network
Long-range sensor communication through LoRaWAN technology
Communicates through walk-in refrigeration, multiple walls, or below grade locations - Placement
Place in an area with good cell signal, where it is protected from weather, and unlikely to be removed or turned off Should not be placed inside the cold storage unit Mount to a flat surface with adhesive strips, zip ties, or keyhole screw mounts on the back of the Gateway

Gateway Signal Optimization
- Find Cellular Reception (AT&T)
Move to higher ground
Move closer to exterior wall - Get Closer to Sensors
- Orient Antenna Perpendicular To Ground
- Avoid Obstacles
Steel/Lead
Thick Concrete
Earth
- Signal Transmits Better Horizontally Than Vertically Due To Antenna Design
Water Sensor Installation
The water sensor is meant to be placed on the floor away from foot traffic and should be placed in areas that are normally dry.
✓ Underneath or near a hot water heater
✓ Next to a boiler
✓ Near a sump pump
✓ Near a pump
✓ Alerts to presence of water
✓ Sensor is waterproof

Temperature Sensor Installation
The temp sensor for indoors measures ambient room temperature and humidity levels. It is intended to be placed in a heated room with a thermostat.
✓ Alerts if the heating is off
✓ Alerts to high temperature
✓ Alerts to mold growth conditions
✓ Sensor is not waterproof and is intended for indoor use only
✓ Sensor can also be used for refrigeration monitoring

Frequently Asked Questions
The HSB IoT sensor monitoring service involves placing sensors (commercial water leak sensors or commercial wireless temperature sensors) in key locations and monitoring them 24/7. When the sensors detect an adverse condition, an alert brings it to to your attention so you can take action to protect your property or goods from further damage.
