Wireless 5V Pressure Meters
General Description
The ALTA wireless pressure sensor measures pressure
from a 5 volt pressure transducer and transmits the
pressure measurement to iMonnit. This solution
combines a standard pressure transducer interfaced to
a Monnit ALTA wireless radio.
• Measure pressure with 50 or 300 PSIG
transducers (others available upon request).
• Measure non-caustic liquid or vapor pressures.
• Pressure transducer is NEMA 4X (IP66), CE
rated.

Free iMonnit basic online wireless sensor monitoring
and notification system to configure sensors, view
data and set alerts via SMS text and email.
Principle of Operation
By connecting the ALTA wireless pressure sensor to
a pressurized gas, liquid or vapor supply line, it can
measure the pressure within the line 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.
User customization allows you to set notifications and
alerts from the system so you can know immediately if
pressure is above or below an optimal range.

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 un-interupted 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 burn-out. (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.
Under low or high pressure. 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 product 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).
