Description
The OTIS OI-6940-XP “WireFree Quad” is a battery-powered multi-gas detector head for Class I Division 1 hazardous locations — up to four sensor housings in a single enclosure, giving multi-gas coverage from one wireless point. Four 3.6V/19Ah lithium-thionyl chloride cells (76Ah total) power the unit for up to 6 months, reporting over GEN II 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz WireFree radio to an OTIS controller or gateway.
This listing covers the most popular factory configurations: 2, 3, and 4-gas combinations of LEL, oxygen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, and ammonia. Each configuration is priced exactly per the OTIS price list — base unit plus each sensor. Need a different gas combination (formaldehyde, chlorine, PID for VOCs, phosphine)? Choose “Custom gas configuration” and contact us — we will confirm the exact build and price before anything ships.
A note on battery life: the 6-month rating applies to electrochemical and low-power infrared sensors; adding a PID (VOC) sensor cuts battery life to about 45 days. The 160x104 sunlight-readable display shows all channels at once, and magnetic non-intrusive switches allow calibration without opening the enclosure.
- Up to 4 sensor housings in one explosion-proof enclosure — multi-gas from a single wireless point
- Battery powered: (4) 3.6V/19Ah lithium-thionyl chloride cells, 76Ah total, nonrechargeable
- Up to 6 months battery life (about 45 days with a PID/VOC sensor)
- GEN II 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz WireFree radio with external N-female antenna connector
- Electrochemical, low-power infrared, and PID sensor elements
- 160x104 sunlight-readable graphical LCD shows all channels simultaneously
- Adjustable background gas setting (1–10% of full scale) per sensor element
- 4 push buttons + 4 magnetic non-intrusive switches — calibrate without opening the enclosure
- Optional OI-501-7 remote sensor mounting kit
