General Description

The ALTA Wireless Accelerometer – Impact Detect Sensor is a digital, low-power, low-profile, capacitive sensor that is able to measure acceleration on three axes to detect impact over a set g-force threshold.

Principle of Operation

The ALTA Wireless Accelerometer – Impact Detect Sensor activates when g-forces are exceeded by a user defined threshold—up to 8 g-force. The user can key in the desired threshold for the g-force trigger. This sensor has two operation modes that can be also selected

Features of Monnit ALTA Sensors
• Wireless range of 1,200+ feet through 12+ walls *
• Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS)
• Improved interference immunity
• Improved power management for longer battery life **(12+ years on AA batteries)
• Encrypt-RF® Security (Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange+AES-128 CBC for sensor data messages)
• Onboard data memory stores up to 512 readings per sensor:
– 10-minute heartbeats = 3.5 days
– 2-hour heartbeats = 42 days
• Over-the-air updates (future proof)
• Free iMonnit basic online wireless sensor monitoring and notification system to configure sensors, view data and set alerts via SMS text and email
*Actual range may vary depending on environment.
**Battery life is determined by sensor reporting frequency and other variables. Other power options are also available.
