💡 Summary
The WANDI EDW500 simultaneously detects up to 5 gases — O₂, CO, H₂S, EX (combustible), and CO₂ — and provides the DCMS IoT cloud platform completely free with no additional cost. Real-time gas concentration monitoring, historical data review, alarm management, and equipment management are all available at no charge from any smartphone or PC, enabling even small businesses to implement a smart safety management system.
Gas monitoring at industrial sites has evolved beyond simple measurement into real-time data integration and remote control. The challenge is that most IoT-based safety management solutions require separate cloud subscription fees or platform usage fees. WANDI EDW500 eliminates this barrier. Purchasing the device gives you access to the DCMS IoT cloud service at no additional cost.
What Is the EDW500? 5-Gas Simultaneous Detection + Free IoT
The EDW500 is WANDI Korea's flagship portable multi-gas detector, detecting the 5 gases most frequently causing incidents at industrial sites in a single device. With built-in Wi-Fi and LTE communication modules, measurement data is transmitted to the cloud in real time, allowing managers to monitor site conditions from anywhere at any time.
Detectable Gases
| Gas | Primary Hazard Environment | Legal Standard |
|---|---|---|
| O₂ (Oxygen) | Confined spaces, underground work | 18% ~ 23.5% |
| CO (Carbon monoxide) | Boiler rooms, parking garages, combustion equipment | Below 30 ppm |
| H₂S (Hydrogen sulfide) | Sewers, wastewater treatment plants | Below 10 ppm |
| EX (Combustible gas) | Chemical plants, LNG/LPG facilities | 10% LFL or below |
| CO₂ (Carbon dioxide) | Fermentation facilities, breweries, agricultural facilities | Below 1.5% |
EDW500 Free IoT Feature: What Is DCMS?
DCMS (Device Cloud Management System) is WANDI Korea's proprietary IoT-based gas detector remote monitoring platform. Available free with account creation upon purchasing an EDW500, it requires no separate server setup or software installation — accessible immediately via web browser and smartphone.
📡 What's Included for Free in DCMS
After purchasing an EDW500, you can use all features — real-time monitoring, historical data storage and retrieval (3-month retention), alarm configuration, equipment management, and calibration/repair requests — with no subscription or platform fees.
DCMS Top 5 Features
- 1Real-time gas concentration monitoring — Check site gas levels in real time from any PC or smartphone. Receive instant push notifications when alarms are triggered.
- 2Historical data management — Measurement data is automatically saved to the cloud, with period-based and device-based history retrieval and report export available. Data is retained for 3 months.
- 3Remote alarm threshold configuration — Adjust 1st and 2nd alarm concentration levels remotely through DCMS without visiting the site.
- 4Equipment management and maintenance requests — View calibration cycles and battery status of registered devices at a glance. Submit calibration and repair requests directly within DCMS.
- 5Multi-device integrated monitoring — Manage multiple EDW500 units across multiple sites from a single DCMS account. View gas status across all sites on one dashboard.
How to Connect EDW500 to IoT: Done in 3 Steps
- 1Create a DCMS account — Create a free DCMS account at wandi.co.kr. Ready to use immediately after email verification.
- 2Configure EDW500 Wi-Fi / LTE — Enter the site's Wi-Fi information in the device menu or insert an LTE SIM. The device automatically registers in DCMS once connected.
- 3Start real-time monitoring — View device status and gas concentrations in real time from the DCMS dashboard. Set alarm thresholds and notification contacts and you're ready to go.
Which Sites Need the EDW500 IoT Function?
Companies That Need Remote Integrated Management Across Multiple Sites
For companies operating multiple facilities, DCMS becomes the core solution for monitoring gas safety status across all sites from headquarters in one view. Even during unmanned hours, managers are instantly notified via smartphone if any alarm triggers.
Small and Medium Businesses With Limited Dedicated Safety Staff
Smaller businesses that find it difficult to maintain dedicated safety personnel can use DCMS's automatic alarm function to detect and respond to hazardous situations immediately. With no additional cost, there's no financial barrier to adoption.
⚖️ Serious Accident Punishment Act and IoT Monitoring
Since the enforcement of Korea's Serious Accident Punishment Act, employers' safety management obligations have been strengthened. Real-time monitoring data and historical records can serve as evidence of accident prevention and legal compliance, making IoT-based gas monitoring systems increasingly important.
