RKI Telemetry Hardware, Modbus Output 85-VCM
Description
RKI Telemetry Hardware (85-VCM) is the Modbus Output hardware component used with the RKI Telemetry Subscription (sold separately) to enable remote and on-site data collection from fixed gas detection systems. Uses the Modbus protocol to relay sensor signals to a managed web SCADA platform where internet-connected devices can view instantaneous monitoring data from any location.
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

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 85-VCM and the 85-VCA?
The 85-VCM uses Modbus output, while the
85-VCA uses a 4–20 mA output. The correct choice depends on the output type of the fixed gas controller or sensor transmitter in the system. Modbus is common in industrial automation environments with PLC or DCS infrastructure. Call
800.829.9580 to confirm compatibility.
Is the Telemetry Subscription required to use the 85-VCM?
Yes. The 85-VCM hardware is the field component that collects Modbus data from sensors. To view that data remotely via a web browser — with real-time trends, grids, maps, and alarm history — the
RKI Telemetry Subscription (85-S-GOLD) is required and sold separately.
How many sensors can the 85-VCM support?
The 85-S-GOLD subscription tier supports up to 12 sensors with Modbus output hardware. If a larger installation is planned, contact PK Safety at
800.829.9580 to discuss higher-capacity configuration options with RKI's telemetry platform.
What gas types can the telemetry system monitor?
Any gas that the connected RKI fixed sensors detect — including H2S, carbon monoxide, oxygen, methane, SO2, and benzene. The Modbus hardware relays the sensor readings to the SCADA platform regardless of gas type, provided the sensor transmitter is Modbus-compatible.
Can PK Safety configure or support the 85-VCM after installation?
PK Safety's factory-trained technicians can assist with pre-purchase compatibility review and post-installation guidance. Call
800.829.9580 or reach out via the PK Safety website to connect with an RKI-experienced technician.
Is the 85-VCM compatible with non-RKI sensors or controllers?
The 85-VCM is optimized for RKI fixed gas detection systems. Compatibility with third-party equipment depends on whether those devices output a standard Modbus RTU or Modbus TCP signal. PK Safety recommends confirming the sensor or controller specs before ordering — call
800.829.9580 for a pre-purchase compatibility review.
