2.0 Overview
Ultra1000 series wireless sensor is used for air quality monitoring. The sensor detects toxic or
combustible gas in air and sends the signal to a Gas Monitor / Controller over a wireless data
network. A complete data packet is transmitted to the wireless controller (or receiver). The data
packet includes the current gas reading, sensor diagnostic data and battery voltage. The data
transmit interval depends on the current gas concentration. This interval is typically 1.5 to 2
seconds when the sensor is reading any gas. The data transmit interval is longer if the sensor is
in normal operation and there is no gas being detected by the sensor. This transmit interval is
optimized in order to maximize the battery life.
