“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
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.

The ALTA Ethernet gateway allows your ALTA Wireless
Sensors to communicate with the iMonnit™ Online Wireless
Sensor Monitoring and Notification System without requiring
a PC. Simply plug this device into any open network port
with internet connection and it will automatically connect
with online servers. With the graphical iMonnit software, you
can easily configure your network, view collected sensor
data and set alarms through SMS or e-mail.

Data Capturing Options - Data collected by the Ethernet Gateway from the sensors in the network can be accessed when these
interfac-es are turned on. Multiple interfaces can be active at the same time. All interfaces require that the Ethernet gateway be set to a
Static IP address. (By default, the unit uses DHCP). The following data capturing options are supported:
SNMP Poll and Trap Interface • MODBUS TCP Interface • Real Time TCP Interface

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
♦♦
Under low or high pressure
♦♦
Wet or excessively humid locations
♦♦
Places with salt water, oils chemical liquids or

Rated Enclosure
ALTA Industrial sensors are enclosed in reliable, weath-
erproof NEMA rated enclosures. Our NEMA rated enclo-
sures 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).
