Precision to the Point: The DS18B20U for your tinycontrol System
Are you looking for an uncomplicated yet highly precise method to monitor temperatures? The tinycontrol DS18B20U (LANKON-030) is the answer. Specially developed for the tinycontrol ecosystem, you simply connect this sensor to the RJ11 port of your Lan Controller and start measuring immediately. Whether you want to control the temperature in your server cabinet, in heating systems, or as part of your Home Automation – this sensor provides you with the reliable data you need for smart control. This is a key component for any robust Network.
Scalable Temperature Monitoring with the 1-Wire Bus
One of the biggest advantages of this sensor is its ability to work on the 1-Wire Bus. Each DS18B20U with RJ11 connector has a unique, pre-programmed 64-bit serial number. This means you can operate multiple of these sensors on a single cable strand (bus) and read each measurement individually. This significantly simplifies Cabling when monitoring multiple measurement points, for example in different areas of a room or in a server cabinet. The LANKON-030 temperature sensor for server room installations is therefore the first choice for professionals, especially when managing 19-Inch Racks and Enclosures.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Perfect plug-and-play compatibility with tinycontrol Lan Controllers via RJ11 connector.
- Pro: Precise and fast data acquisition thanks to ±0.4 °C accuracy and thermally conductive aluminum base.
- Pro: Easy scalability through 1-Wire bus and unique sensor ID for operating multiple sensors.
- Pro: High operational reliability due to integrated ESD protection of over 8000 V.
- Note: Primarily designed for the tinycontrol ecosystem; use with other systems requires Coaxial Adapters or other Accessories.
- Note: No specified IP protection class, therefore not recommended for humid or dusty environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I operate multiple LANKON-030 sensors with a tinycontrol Lan Controller?
Yes, that is one of the main advantages. Thanks to the 1-Wire protocol and the unique 64-bit ID of each sensor, you can connect multiple DS18B20U sensors to a single bus (an RJ11 port, possibly with a splitter) and read out the measurements individually.
Is the tinycontrol DS18B20U waterproof?
No, for this specific model (LANKON-030), there is no official IP rating. The design with the aluminum base is optimized for rapid temperature detection in dry environments, not for use in liquids or very humid environments.
What maximum cable length is recommended for the DS18B20U?
The cable length of the sensor itself is 1.05 meters. The total length of the 1-Wire bus can theoretically be several tens of meters, but it strongly depends on the topology, the quality of the Cabling, the number of sensors, and the Power Supply.
Does the sensor require an external Power Supply?
The sensor is supplied with the necessary voltage (2.5V - 5.5V) directly via the RJ11 connector of the Lan Controller. A separate power source is not required for the sensor itself when operated with a compatible device.
What is the difference from a standard DS18B20 sensor?
The core chip is identical or compatible. The main difference of the LANKON-030 lies in its assembly: It comes pre-equipped with a 105 cm long Cabling and an RJ11 connector for the tinycontrol system and is mounted on a heat-conducting aluminum board.
Is the sensor suitable for measuring body temperature?
Although the sensor is very precise, it is not certified as a medical device. It is designed for ambient and surface temperature measurement in technical applications such as server rooms or heating controls.
