“Things” are talking.
ALTA Remote Monitoring Systems
enable “things” to
speak. Wireless sensors, gateways and software give a
voice to the IoT (Internet of Things) and allow business-es
to leverage data, protect resources & save money.

/ 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
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.

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.

** At temperatures above 100°C, it is possible for the board circuitry to lose programmed memory.
Principle of Operation
The ALTA Wireless Water Rope Sensor detects conductive liquids anywhere along the length of the detection
rope by using two wires covered with conducting polymer. When water or conductive liquid contacts the rope,
the sensor will immediately turn on the RF radio and transmit the data to the wireless gateway and iMonnit
Online Sensor Monitoring and Notification System, allowing the user to immediately receive an alert by SMS
text, email or voice call. The sensor rope dries quickly allowing the sensor to reset for next use. Detection rope
can be expanded up to 100 feet by simply clicking additional 10 foot sections of detection rope together.
Additional sections of water detection rope are available on the Monnit website
