RKI Telemetry Hardware, 4-20 mA 85-VCA_
Description
RKI Telemetry Hardware (85-VCA) is the 4–20 mA hardware component used with the RKI Telemetry Subscription (sold separately) to enable remote and on-site gathering of data from fixed gas detection systems. Internet-connected devices can view instantaneous gas monitoring information from the field in real time. The 85-VCA works seamlessly with the RKI Telemetry subscription to deliver SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) for a range of industrial applications.
Applications: Environmental Monitoring, Oil & Gas Monitoring, Safety & Security Monitoring, Industrial Monitoring, Fleet Monitoring
Key Features:
- Complete Turnkey Solution — device integration, communication, server management, free setup and configuration
- Pressure, Temperature, Flow, Humidity, Chemical Levels for Industrial Process Monitoring
- Temperature, Humidity, Air Quality, Sound Levels, Water Levels for Environmental Monitoring
- Gas Flow, Well Pressure, Oil Pressure, Compressor Status, 3-Phase Testing, Pressure Buildups, Artificial Lift for Oil and Gas
- Oil Leaks, Remote Site Surveillance, Water Levels, Remote Safety Surveillance for Remote Surveillance
- H2S, Carbon Monoxide, Oxygen, Methane, SO2, Benzene for Toxic Gas Monitoring
- Remote docking station reports, Heat Stress, Sound Levels, Air Quality for Industrial Hygiene
Part Numbers:
85-VCA8 — supports 1–8 sensors
85-VCA16 — supports up to 16 sensors
85-VCA32 — supports up to 32 sensors

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 85-VCA8, 85-VCA16, and 85-VCA32?
The number at the end indicates the maximum sensor channel capacity. The 85-VCA8 handles 1–8 sensors, the 85-VCA16 handles up to 16, and the 85-VCA32 handles up to 32. Choose based on the total number of sensors across the fixed gas detection system the hardware will serve. Call
800.829.9580 if sizing assistance is needed.
Does the 85-VCA hardware require a subscription to work?
Yes. The 85-VCA hardware is the field device that collects and transmits 4–20 mA signals. To access that data remotely via a web browser — with real-time trends, maps, and HMI — the
RKI Telemetry Subscription (85-S-GOLD) is required and sold separately. The hardware alone connects the sensors; the subscription provides the managed web SCADA platform.
Which RKI fixed gas controllers is the 85-VCA compatible with?
The 85-VCA hardware is designed to work with RKI fixed gas detection systems that produce a 4–20 mA output signal — including controllers in the Beacon series. Verify the signal type of your existing controller before ordering, or call
800.829.9580 for a compatibility check.
What kinds of data can the 85-VCA system monitor remotely?
The system can transmit and display gas concentration readings (H2S, CO, O2, CH4, SO2, and others), as well as process variables such as pressure, temperature, flow, and humidity — depending on the sensors connected. Access is via a secure web browser with real-time data grids, trend charts, and geographic maps.
Can PK Safety help set up or configure the RKI Telemetry system?
Yes. PK Safety's factory-trained technicians can assist with configuration recommendations for the 85-VCA hardware and telemetry subscription. Reach out at
800.829.9580 for pre-purchase guidance or post-installation support questions.
Is expedited shipping available for this product?
Standard shipping options apply to the 85-VCA hardware. If schedule is critical, contact PK Safety at
800.829.9580 to confirm current lead times and carrier options before placing an order.
