26/3/19 Let us introduce a brand-new line of air quality sensors combining broad connectivity, measurements of six quantities at once and compact on-wall installation.   

Basic characteristics

The RW/RLW sensor line is designed for measurements of interior air quality in houses, office buildings, schools and other similar buildings. The sensor itself is placed in a compact on-wall plastic box with IP20 protection with easy installation. Aside from the default design, customers can also purchase a special "Anti-Vandal" version made from durable anodized aluminium. A variant for interiors with higher aesthetic requirements is also available. 

All four models offered can be used to measure temperature, relative air humidity, VOC and barometric pressure with -THC models being able to also measure the carbon dioxide concentration with a LED indication (green = low CO2 concentration, red = high CO2 concentration). Currently, we are also developing a dust sensor for measuring the concentration of dust particles.

Broad connectivity

Sensors feature an onboard web server and support communication through RS485 interface (Modbus RTU protocol) Sensors can also communicate wirelessly via Wi-Fi (Modbus TCP, REST API interface) - the initial configuration can be performed in AP mode with the device subsequently operating in client mode. RLW-TH and RLW-THC models then support the LoRaWAN wireless technology featuring a combination of long signal range and very low energy consumption. The product will be delivered with a free Mervis database licence.
