Free iMonnit basic online wireless sensor monitoring
and notification system to configure sensors, view
data and set alerts via SMS text and email
Water Detection
• 3 ft leaded wires
• Immediately detects water
Principle of Operation
The ALTA Wireless Water Detection Sensor detects
when water is present by completing the circuit between
the two leaded wires. When water is present 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 SMS text or email alert. The
sensor can be configured to detect both the presence
and non-presence of water.

Battery life is determined by sensor reporting
frequency and other variables. Other power options
are also available.

Power Options
The standard version of this sensor is powered by two replaceable 1.5 V AA sized batteries (included with purchase).
This sensor is also available with a line power option. The line powered version of this sensor has a barrel power
connector allowing it to be powered by a standard 3.0–3.6 V power supply. The line powered version also uses two
standard 1.5 V AA batteries as backup for uninterrupted operation in the event of line power outage.
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).
•

•
Safe from falling dirt
Protects against wind-blown dust
Protects against rain, sleet, snow, splashing water, and hose-directed water
Increased level of corrosion resistance
Will remain undamaged by ice formation on the enclosure
