Industrial Wireless RTD Temperature Sensor

Catch the Drift
Before It Costs You.
Any PT100, PT1000 RTD.

A cooler that drifts two degrees overnight can spoil a whole shipment by morning. Wire one RTD probe, equipment, a process line, or cold storage, and watch that temperature wirelessly with the resolution to catch the drift before it becomes a loss.

The Cost of a Few Degrees

A Two-Degree Drift Overnight Can Cost a Whole Shipment.

Drift happens overnightCold storage and process lines wander slowly, usually when no one is on site, so by morning the average looks fine while the damage is already done.
One excursion totals a loadPharmaceuticals, food, and biologics tolerate little excursion, a few hours out of range can write off a shipment worth far more than the sensor.
No log means no proofWhen an auditor or insurer asks for the temperature history, “we think it was fine” is no answer, without a log you can’t prove the cold chain held.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about wireless RTD temperature monitoring.

Temperature & Sensing

The Industrial IoT Wireless RTD Temperature Sensor from NCD is a battery-powered industrial sensor that measures temperature on a single RTD channel and transmits readings wirelessly up to 2 miles. It supports PT100 and PT1000 probes in 2-, 3-, and 4-wire configurations, runs for years on a D-cell with Supercap, and carries no monthly fees or subscriptions.

Accuracy depends on the RTD probe you connect. The transmitter itself resolves fine temperature changes, and the included PT100 is a sample for experimentation only. For production accuracy, pair the Industrial IoT Wireless RTD Temperature Sensor with an RTD probe rated for your process.

It works with PT100 RTD probes in the standard 3-wire configuration, and supports PT1000 and 2-/4-wire RTDs on request. The Industrial IoT Wireless RTD Temperature Sensor ships with a sample PT100 probe for experimentation, so you can start taking readings right out of the box.

The measurable range depends entirely on the RTD probe you connect — there is no fixed range built into the transmitter. The included PT100 is a sample for experimentation; for production, connect an RTD probe rated for your process temperatures and the Industrial IoT Wireless RTD Temperature Sensor will report across that probe’s range.

Wireless & Power

The sensor reaches up to 2 miles line-of-sight using 900MHz long-range wireless mesh networking (about 1000 ft in dense urban environments). Because the Industrial IoT Wireless RTD Temperature Sensor forms a self-healing mesh, a single Atrium gateway can collect readings from many sensors across large or multi-building facilities.

Battery life depends on how often it transmits. The Industrial IoT Wireless RTD Temperature Sensor runs up to 5 years on a D-cell with Supercap. An external-power option is also available for continuous-duty installations.

Integration & Ownership

No. The Industrial IoT Wireless RTD Temperature Sensor has no monthly fees and no proprietary lock-in. You own your data and can keep it on your own network or forward it to AWS, Azure, or any MQTT broker through the Atrium gateway, there are no recurring software costs.

Yes. Readings from the Industrial IoT Wireless RTD Temperature Sensor flow through the Atrium gateway, which supports AWS, Azure, MQTT, Modbus, Node-RED, and a REST API. Data is encrypted with 128-bit AES in transit, and you can route it into existing SCADA, CMMS, or analytics platforms without vendor lock-in.

Durability & Build

Yes. The Industrial IoT Wireless RTD Temperature Sensor uses an IP65 main enclosure (rated on the box only, not the probe) also rated to NEMA 1/2/4/4X/12/13 and UL-508, with wall-mount or magnet-mount options. It is built to handle dust, washdown, and harsh plant-floor conditions.

The Industrial IoT Wireless RTD Temperature Sensor is made in the USA and is RoHS compliant. Its 900MHz wireless module carries CE/RED certification, and additional regional certifications (FCC, IC, RCM, Anatel, and more) are available depending on the frequency band, so it can be deployed across many regions.
