# MacSync LC2H4 X1 LoRaWAN Ethylene Sensor Datasheet
## Product Overview
**MacSync LC2H4 X1 LoRaWAN® Ethylene Sensor** is a high-performance industrial wireless ethylene gas monitoring solution designed for continuous real-time ethylene concentration monitoring across cold storage facilities, fruit ripening chambers, agriculture supply chains, food warehouses, greenhouses, research laboratories, and Industrial IoT environments.
Built using ultra-low-power electronics and long-range **LoRaWAN® wireless technology**, the sensor enables reliable remote ethylene gas monitoring without requiring complex wiring infrastructure. The device continuously measures ethylene (C₂H₄) concentration levels to help organizations optimize fruit ripening processes, monitor produce freshness, detect gas accumulation, and improve storage efficiency.
The **LoRaWAN Ethylene Sensor** is engineered for Industrial IoT deployments where long battery life, wide-area coverage, secure wireless communication, and centralized cloud monitoring are critical. It is ideal for smart agriculture, banana ripening chambers, apple storage facilities, post-harvest monitoring, food logistics infrastructure, greenhouse monitoring, and industrial gas analytics.
With configurable uplink intervals, threshold-based alerts, BLE configuration via the **Macnman Maya App**, and seamless integration with LoRaWAN® gateways and cloud IoT platforms, the **MacSync LC2H4 X1** delivers scalable ethylene analytics for smart agriculture, cold storage automation, and Industry 4.0 deployments.
Its rugged industrial enclosure, IP65 protection, low-power battery operation, and AES-encrypted wireless communication make it suitable for harsh indoor and outdoor industrial deployments requiring reliable wireless ethylene monitoring.
