AirLink 6900

Overview

The RKI AirLink 6900 is a versatile truly wire free transmitter using electrochemical, PID or low-power infrared sensor elements to detect a variety of gases. Wireless, dual battery power (3.6 V Lithium-Thionyl Chloride battery) with 900 MHZ or 2.4 GHz radio options. Magnetic switches allow for non-intrusive calibration as well as full system settings and diagnostics, while in the field.

The AirLink 6900 Gas Detector represents the latest leading edge wireless technology in fixed gas detection today.
