WC70i Gas Sensor Data Sheet

Rugged, Simple, Flexible

The WC70i is a modular wireless gas detection device built around integrated 900 MHz RF communications. It monitors gas presence at the point of risk and transmits the measurement wirelessly to a WaveContact gateway.

The WC70i is a modular wireless gas detection platform built around integrated 900 MHz RF communications. It monitors gas presence at the point of risk and transmits the measurement wirelessly to a WaveContact Gateway. Readings integrate into your supervisory system over Modbus at the gateway. You can pair the WaveContact gateway with a FreeWave long range radio (FGR series) or Zum series for greater connectivity and
integration. 

The sensor draws power from a built-in 72Ah battery and uses current-generation smart gas sensor technology to deliver low power demand alongside stable, accurate measurement with minimal calibration over its service life. Temperature and humidity compensation is automatic, keeping drift low across changing field conditions. Low power draw translates directly into long battery life in the field, which means fewer truck rolls to remote sites.
