Explosion Proof Transmitter
Why Wireless?
Including installations, wireless systems can be less expensive.
- Hardwired system cost: 30% hardware vs 70% installation
- Wireless system cost: 90% hardware vs 10% installation
- Wireless products can be mounted in places that a wired system cannot without a huge expense.
When setting up a wireless system, you simply mount the units and turn them on.
- No wiring is required from the controller to the sensor.
- RKI has both battery-operated wireless transmitters and DC powered transmitters sending readings wirelessly to a controller.
