Wireless 500 VAC/VDC Voltage Meters
General Description
The Wireless 500 VAC/VDC Voltage Meter is an analog
measuring device that reports the measured voltage on
user specified intervals. The sensor has three operating
modes, in which you can obtain the voltage measurement
in VACrms (root mean squared), the peak voltage, or
the DC voltage. The modes can be set by the user; the
default mode measures VACrms.
• Wireless interface for measuring voltage
• Measures voltage up to 500 VAC/VDC

Principle of Operation
By connecting the leads on the Monnit Wireless 500 VAC/
VDC Voltage Meter to the positive and ground terminals
of another device, battery or sensor, it can measure
the voltage and send data to the iMonnit Online Sensor
Monitoring and Notification System. The data is stored
in the online system and can be reviewed and exported
as a data sheet or graph. Notifications can be set up
through the online system to alert the user when certain
thresholds have been met or exceeded.

Power Options
Two replaceable 1.5V AA sized batteries are included with the stanadard model. A line-power version with battery backup
is also available—allowing it to be powered by a standard 3.0–3.6V power supply and use the internal batteries if there is
a power interruption.
Power options must be selected at time of purchase as the internal hardware of the sensor must be changed to support
the selected power requirements.

Commercial Grade Sensors
Monnit commercial grade sensors are designed for applications in ordinary environments (normal room temperature,
humidity and atmospheric pressure). Do not use these sensors under the following conditions as these factors can
deteriorate the product characteristics and cause failures and burnout.
•
Corrosive gas or deoxidizing gas: chlorine gas, hydrogen sulfide gas, ammonia gas, sulfuric acid gas, nitric oxides
gas, etc.
•
Volatile or flammable gas
• Dusty conditions
• Low-pressure or high-pressure environments
• Wet or excessively humid locations
• Places with salt water, oils chemical liquids or organic solvents
• Where there are excessively strong vibrations
•
Other places where similar hazardous conditions exist
Use these products within the specified temperature range. Higher temperature may cause deterioration of the
characteristics or the material quality.
Industrial Grade Sensors | Type 1, 2, 4, 4X, 12 and 13 NEMA Rated Enclosure
Monnit’s Industrial sensors are enclosed in reliable, weatherproof NEMA-rated enclosures. Our NEMA-rated enclosures
are constructed for both indoor or outdoor use and protect the sensor circuitry against the ingress of solid foreign objects
like dust as well as the damaging effects of water (rain, sleet, snow, splashing water, and hose-directed water).
