Very low power wireless remote monitoring and reporting field device.
Very robust self-powered and highly configurable (analogue inputs settling time, 4-20mA loop power source, digital input parameters and Modbus mapping) for optimal operation. Fully IP68 (submersible to 1.5 metres) and a battery life span of 3 to 5 years or much more depending on configuration.
The V-Wire/Link reports all input states, sensor values, RSSI and battery voltage to any Modbus RTU Slave device, such as SSE Maestro 2000 and higher range of RTU’s or any Modbus RTU slave PLC.
