CHESTER Input: Universal Gateway for Smart Monitoring
CHESTER Input provides reliable wireless data transfer for critical process monitoring across industry, agriculture, and energy sectors.
Do you need a reliable overview of your processes? Do you want to transfer data and monitor it efficiently wirelessly? That’s exactly what CHESTER Input provides - a versatile module that integrates analog and digital signals and wirelessly transmits them via NB-IoT, LTE-M, or LoRaWAN. This ensures complete control over critical processes in industry, agriculture, or energy.
From Beehives to Electric Fences
CHESTER Input’s versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of scenarios, including:
- Monitoring machine cycle times to calculate Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
- Detecting floods and providing timely alerts to prevent potential damage
- Ensuring electric fences and perimeter security are continuously monitored
- Measuring beehive weights or monitoring grain silo levels - CHESTER Input can manage it all seamlessly
Compatible with Industry-Standard Sensors
CHESTER Input supports connecting sensors with common industrial standards of 0-30 V and 4-20 mA, facilitating effortless integration with various sensors, such as inductive sensors, optical barriers, and pressure sensors for machinery tires. This flexibility allows CHESTER Input to excel in diverse applications and environments.
Easy Deployment and Data Management
Like all devices in the CHESTER series, CHESTER Input is known for its simple setup and intuitive operation. Once installed at your chosen location, simply register the device on the HARDWARIO Cloud and configure your parameters. Your data will begin transmitting automatically to your control panel. Everything is designed to ensure rapid, efficient, and hassle-free deployment - from initial device selection to everyday use.

Power, Flexibility, and Robust Design
CHESTER Input can be powered by either a battery or an external power source supplemented with a backup battery, making it ideal for locations lacking a permanent mains connection. With a standby power consumption below 180 uA (depending on the connected sensor) and temperature resilience from -20 to +60 degrees Celsius, CHESTER Input thrives in demanding environments.
