General Description
The ALTA Wireless Voltage Meter measures the voltage between two electrical points. It can be connected to the power and ground of any voltage source and measure within stated accuracy up to 200 VDC. Perfect for measuring battery voltage at specified intervals where sensor data will be wirelessly sent to iMonnit, the online sensor monitoring system.
• Wireless interface for measuring voltage
• Available in multiple voltage ranges. Measures voltage up to 200 VDC
Principle of Operation
By connecting the leads on the ALTA Wireless Voltage Meter to the positive and ground terminals of a battery, users can measure battery voltage through the iMonnit Online Sensor Monitoring and Notification System.
Notifications can be set up through the online system to alert the user when battery levels reach a certain point. The data is also stored in the online system and can be reviewed and exported as a data sheet or graph.
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.
