General Description

The ALTA wireless air velocity sensor measures the pressure difference between two input ports, the temperature, and altitude determines the speed at which the air is moving in a system and transmits the measurement to iMonnit.
• Measurement range: -50 m/s to 50 m/s
• Calibrated and temperature compensated

Principle of Operation

The sensor measures the pressure difference between two ports. When viewing the sensor from the top, the right inlet port is the positive or high side pressure input. When the pressure on this port is greater than the left port the sensor produces a negative pressure reading. When the pressure is greater on the left port the sensor produces a positive pressure reading. Combined with the temperature and the altitude, the sensor determines at what rate the air is flowing in a system.

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.
