MacSync CX1 Datasheet
Product Overview
MacSync CX1 is an industrial-grade 4G LTE Cellular Data Logger designed to connect RS485 (Modbus RTU) and analog sensors (4–20 mA / 0–10 V) directly to the cloud for real-time monitoring and analytics. Built for demanding outdoor deployments, CX1 features a rugged enclosure, stable performance, and reliable cellular connectivity — making it ideal for remote industrial sites where Wi‑Fi or Ethernet is not available.
Powered by a wide 9–36 V DC input, MacSync CX1 is engineered for permanent installations in utilities, factories, water infrastructure, energy metering, and process monitoring systems. It supports multi-channel data acquisition, periodic and event-based reporting, and enables instant alerts for critical parameter changes.
With an in-house high-efficiency internal antenna and optimized low-noise RF design, CX1 ensures stable long-range connectivity in harsh environments. Whether you are monitoring pumps, pressure transmitters, flow meters, energy meters, or industrial machines — MacSync CX1 transforms field signals into cloud-ready data with industrial reliability.
