Introduction
Industrial-Grade RS485 Temperature & Humidity Sensor (1200m Transmission). This sensor is designed for harsh environments where standard sensors fail. Unlike I2C/UART sensors that are limited to short distances (< 2m), this RS485 module utilizes the standard Modbus RTU protocol to transmit stable data up to 1200 meters. Fully wrapped in an aluminum alloy shell, it is the ideal solution for greenhouse monitoring, warehouse management, and HVAC automation.
⚠️ Project Scope Check
Wiring distance < 2 meters? Save time and money, check our [Gravity: SHT31-F Digital Temperature and Humidity Sensor]. It's plug-and-play for simple projects.
Wiring distance > 10 meters? Or need to daisy-chain multiple sensors? You are on the right page. This is the professional choice for long-distance stability.
Hardware Setup Guide (Required Accessories)
Since this sensor outputs raw RS485 signals, it cannot be connected directly to a microcontroller's GPIO or a PC's USB port.
For PC Debugging: You need a [USB to RS485 Converter].
For Arduino / ESP32: You need an [RS485 Shield].
Power Supply: Requires 12V~36V DC external power (standard 5V from Arduino is insufficient).

Strictly No Immersion: Do not submerge directly in water or waterlogged soil, and do not rinse with water.
Outdoor Protection Required: It only protects against splashing water. A rain cover or weather shield must be installed for outdoor or greenhouse deployment.
Beware of Condensation: Condensation easily occurs in environments with high humidity and dropping temperatures, which may cause abnormal readings or moisture damage to components.
Weak Dust Resistance: Avoid high-dust environments to prevent fine dust or dirt from clogging the breathable membrane and causing response failure.
Recommended Installation: Suspend the probe pointing vertically downward, utilizing gravity to prevent water droplets from flowing back or accumulating.
