/ 10-yr. Battery Life
For example, “things” can speak up when conditions
are met that indicate an asset is at risk. The Monnit
ecosystem (50+ sensor types) detects changes in
variables (such as a temperature, water presence,
door position, electrical current and voltages) to
employ an
autonomous wireless sensing
solution
that protects your bottom line.

Principle of Operation
Sensor outputs ambient temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit. It is programmed to sleep for a
user-given time interval (heartbeat); then wakeup, send power to the NTC Thermistor, wait for it
to stabilize, convert the analog data, mathematically compute the temperature and transmit the
data to the gateway. To stay within the abilities of the processor, the temperature is computed
off a data table provided by the manufacturer.

Principle of Operation
The ALTA Open / Closed Sensor uses an external magnetic switch to detect the presence or
removal of a trigger magnet. When the sensor detects that the magnet is removed or returned, it
sends the information to the iMonnit Online Sensor Monitoring and Notification System. The data
is stored in the online system and can be reviewed and exported. Notifi - cations can be setup
through the online system to alert the user when a magnetic source is present or not present -
with the ability to specify notifications within time-of-day parameters.

Durability Grades
Commercial Grade
If not specified as “Industrial Grade”, all ALTA sensors
are commercial grade and 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 or cause
failures.
♦♦
Corrosive gas / De-oxidizing gas
(chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, sulfuric
acid, nitric oxides, etc.)
♦♦
Volatile or flammable gas
♦♦
Dusty conditions

AA battery powered sensors can be upgraded to
support line-powered operations in addition.
Coin Cell Battery
Coin cell battery powered sensors offer the smallest
form factor of all power options. Coin cell sensors
achieve up to a 5-year battery life.
