Industrial Wireless Absolute & Gauge Pressure Sensor C1D2 Certified for Hazardous Environments
NCD’s new C1D2 certified long range wireless Pressure sensor offers a long range wireless IoT communication interface designed specifically for use in hazardous environments. With C1D2 Group A, B, C, and D certification, this long range wireless pressure sensor is specified for use in hazardous environments where potentially explosive gasses, dust, fibers, or flammable vapors may be present. This includes hazardous gases and vapors that may contain Acetylene, Hydrogen, Ether, Ethyl, Ethelene, Gasoline, Acetone, Ammonia, Benzene, Butane, Methanol, and Propane. NCD’s C1D2 certified sensors are the only long range wireless products available on the market today that may be used in chemical plants, oil and gas refineries, paint shops, cleaning facilities, mills, flour silos, mining, and loading facilities for flammable gases, liquids, and solids.
Our Wireless Absolute & Gauge Pressure and Temperature Sensor uses a OEM piezo resistive pressure sensor with 316L stainless steel corrugated diaphragm and isolated oil-filling construction, with up to 2 Miles of wireless range at 900MHz using a wireless mesh networking architecture. Incorporating a highly accurate Absolute & Gauge pressure sensor, this sensor transmits pressure data on regular intervals. It measures Absolute & Gauge pressure as well as temperature with user configurable resolution at user defined intervals while sleeping during the time when it is not measuring or sending data. For example, this sensor with it’s default settings will wake up every 10 minutes, measure the pressure, send a long range wireless transmission that includes important sensor data such as the sensor serial number, sensor type, battery level, and pressure data. Once the transmission is complete, the sensor will go back to sleep for 10 minutes. This sensor can send pressure data every minute or every day, depending on the interval settings you choose.
Industrial Wireless Absolute & Gauge Pressure and Temperature Sensor is widely used for pressure measurement of various liquids. NCD pressure sensors are compatible with stainless steel and Viton®. The included sensor is rated for 0-100psi absolute pressure, 0-500psi gauge pressure sensor, 0-1000psi sealed gauge sensor with an accuracy of ±0.5%FS (pressure), and 0-5000psi sealed gauge sensor with an accuracy of ±0.5%FS (pressure) ±1.5℃ (Temperature). Easily interfaces using a standard 1/4″ NPT Male connection.
Powered by just 6 AA batteries and an operational lifetime of 500,000 wireless transmissions, a 10 years battery life can be expected depending on environmental conditions and the data transmission interval.
The long range, price, accuracy, battery life and security features of NCD Long Range IoT Industrial Wireless Absolute & Gauge Pressure and Temperature Sensor makes it an affordable choice which exceeds the requirements for most of the industrial as well as consumer market applications.
What is Class 1 Division 2 Certification?
Class 1, Division 2 is a hazardous location rating system that indicates where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dust may be present. It also specifies the types of technology that are safe to use in these environments. Class 1, Division 2 locations are places where flammable liquids or gases are used, processed, or handled. These liquids or gases are usually kept in closed systems or containers, and can only escape if the systems or containers deteriorate or rupture. Under normal operating conditions, a Class 1, Division 2 location shouldn’t have an explosive atmosphere, but it may occur briefly during maintenance or repair activities, or if a container or vessel accidentally ruptures.
Class 1, Division 2 equipment must meet strict hazardous location rating requirements to ensure it can safely operate in these environments. This compliance can help improve workplace safety and reduce the risk of accidents. Select NCD sensors are Class 1, Division 2 certified for hazardous environments and can prevent ignition in atmospheres that may contain explosive gases or vapors.
NCD C1D2 Certified Sensors are certified for use in groups A, B, C, and D. A list of groups and their associated environments are listed below.
Group A contains only acetylene.
Group B includes hydrogen, gases with more than 30% hydrogen by volume, butadiene, ethylene oxide and propylene oxide.
Group C includes acetaldehyde, cyclopropane, diethyl ether, and dimethyl hydrazine.
Group D includes gasoline, acetone, ammonia, benzene, butane, methane, propane, alcohols and other more commonly encountered compounds.

Not for use in outdoor applications or for use in excessive temperature conditions. Prolonged freezing will prevent batteries from functioning until thawed, using extended temperature range industrial batteries may improve the useful temperature range. Extended freezing applications should use a full-time powered solution. Prolonged exposure to extreme humidity conditions may damage this device. The sensing element is rated for use for 5 years and may be replaced. Exposure to high temperatures may cause the batteries to leak, causing permanent damage to this device. NCD Warranty does not cover battery corrosion or use in excessively smoky environments under any circumstances.
