“Things” are talking.
ALTA Wireless IoT Sensors Kit
The only
1000’ / 10-yr.
in the World
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.
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. To reduce error, a
variable resistor configuration is implemented over specified temperature ranges.

ALTA Vibration Sensor - Accelerometer
(Industrial)
The ALTA Wireless Vibration Meter Sensor uses an accelerometer to mea-
sure vibration speed and frequency and report on 3 axes.
♦
Reports data as speed (mm/s) and frequency (Hz) on all three axes,
and how long the sensor was measuring during the interval.
♦
Adjustable measurement methods: RMS, peak data only, and abso-
lute mean.

Hardware cannot withstand negative voltage. Please take care when connecting a power device.
At temperatures above 100°C, it is possible for the board circuitry to lose programmed memory.
Principle of Operation
The ALTA Vibration Sensor measures g-force
on all axes and then determines speed and
frequency. It can be set to only capture when a
vibration occurs and sleep when no vibrations
are present; or it can be set to measure at a
given assessment interval regardless of whether
a vibration has occurred. The sensor will also re-
port the duty cycle, or how long the sensor was
measuring vibrations throughout the heartbeat.
