MacSync-LWQ-X4 Datasheet
Product Overview
MacSync‑LWQ‑X4 is an industrial‑grade LoRaWAN® Water Electrical Conductivity (EC) Sensor designed for continuous, online monitoring of water conductivity levels in drinking water systems, wastewater treatment plants, industrial effluents, and natural water bodies. Electrical conductivity is a key indicator of dissolved salts and ionic content, making EC monitoring critical for water quality assessment and process control.
Built around a high‑stability industrial EC probe and precision signal conditioning, MacSync‑LWQ‑X4 delivers accurate and repeatable conductivity measurements with minimal drift over long‑term operation. The sensor supports real‑time EC monitoring in tanks, pipelines, cooling towers, reservoirs, rivers, lakes, and STP/WWTP facilities—helping operators detect contamination, salinity changes, and abnormal process conditions at an early stage.
Optimized for ultra‑low‑power operation and long‑range wireless communication, the device securely transmits EC data over LoRaWAN® networks, enabling multi‑year battery life even in remote and unmanned installations. Its rugged, ingress‑protected enclosure and industrial‑grade probe design make it suitable for harsh outdoor and submerged water monitoring environments.
With support for LoRaWAN® v1.0.4, AES‑encrypted communication, OTA configuration via the Macnman Maya App, and compatibility with all major public and private LoRaWAN® network servers, MacSync‑LWQ‑X4 provides a scalable and future‑ready solution for IoT‑based water quality and conductivity monitoring.
