AA Battery
Description:
With industry-leading range, security & affordability, Monnit’s ALTA range of remote wireless sensors has set new benchmarks. Since their introduction in 2017, Monnit’s ALTA Sensors have been global game-changers for many industries including Food Service, Facility Management, Manufacturing, Logistics, Pharmaceutical & Medical.
This wireless Voltage Meter sensor is perfect for monitoring the voltage between two electrical points, such as batteries or other sensors; measured voltage is reported. This sensor is capable of measuring the voltage coming off another device, battery, or sensor. Examples of interfacing devices include, but are not limited to: Strain Gauge, Pressure Transducer, RTD, Thermistor, or Thermocouple, Piezo Electric sensors, Photoresistor, Industrial Accelerometer, any kind of variable resistor, any kind of sensor that outputs a voltage, etc. If the device being measured is passive, the user must supply their own excitation voltage, as the Monnit sensor is really just a “voltage observer”.
The sensor can be used in various applications such as remotely monitoring machine or system power status for appliance monitoring, line power monitoring and power supply monitoring. If a monitored value rises or falls beyond user-set thresholds, an alert is sent via text, email, or call. Know when essential appliances are operative (helpful for remote locations or decentralized operations)
Other common uses include:
- Appliance Monitoring
- Line Power Monitoring
- Power Coupling Monitoring
- HVAC Systems Monitoring
- Power Supply Monitoring
- Sump Pump Monitoring
- Backup Generator Monitoring
- Machine Motor Monitoring
Power:
Our sensors have paired exclusive RF technology with industry-leading power management to achieve the best battery life in the IoT industry. While the competition lasts anywhere from six months to two years, Monnit has made 10+ years battery life possible with a pair of two AA batteries.
Range:
Our sensors provide upto 4 times the range of standard competitor wireless sensors, which means you don’t need as many Gateway’s and a much wider coverage area. Our sensor has a non-line-of-sight reach of +300 meters through upto 12 walls. This is all possible due to the most advanced Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology that allows for superior interference immunity from other wireless devices.
Security:
The sensor has Monnit’s most secure embedded Encrypt-RF™ Security which consists of a 256-bit Diffie Hellman key exchange and AES-128 CBC encryption for all sensor data messages. Security is maintained at all communication points from sensor → gateway then gateway → software, then back again.
Storage:
The user-customization settings allow you to set the frequency of readings with the ability to set thresholds for alerts via SMS text and/or email.
The sensor will store as many as 3,100 time-stamped messages if communication is disrupted for any reason (power outage, network disruption … etc). Once the communication is restored all messages will be delivered in chronological order.
