MacSync LC2H4 X1 LoRaWAN Ethylene Sensor Datasheet

Product Overview

MacSync LC2H4 X1 LoRaWAN® Ethylene Sensor is a high-performance industrial wireless ethylene gas monitoring solution designed for continuous real-time ethylene concentration monitoring across cold storage facilities, fruit ripening chambers, agriculture supply chains, food warehouses, greenhouses, research laboratories, and Industrial IoT environments.

Built using ultra-low-power electronics and long-range LoRaWAN® wireless technology, the sensor enables reliable remote ethylene gas monitoring without requiring complex wiring infrastructure. The device continuously measures ethylene (C₂H₄) concentration levels to help organizations optimize fruit ripening processes, monitor produce freshness, detect gas accumulation, and improve storage efficiency.

The LoRaWAN Ethylene Sensor is engineered for Industrial IoT deployments where long battery life, wide-area coverage, secure wireless communication, and centralized cloud monitoring are critical. It is ideal for smart agriculture, banana ripening chambers, apple storage facilities, post-harvest monitoring, food logistics infrastructure, greenhouse monitoring, and industrial gas analytics.

With configurable uplink intervals, threshold-based alerts, BLE configuration via the Macnman Maya App, and seamless integration with LoRaWAN® gateways and cloud IoT platforms, the MacSync LC2H4 X1 delivers scalable ethylene analytics for smart agriculture, cold storage automation, and Industry 4.0 deployments.

Its rugged industrial enclosure, IP65 protection, low-power battery operation, and AES-encrypted wireless communication make it suitable for harsh indoor and outdoor industrial deployments requiring reliable wireless ethylene monitoring.
