Description
Monnit ALTA Industrial Wireless Temperature Sensor
The Monnit ALTA Industrial Wireless Temperature Sensor is a rugged, thermistor-based device designed for accurate ambient temperature monitoring in demanding environments. Built for industrial settings, this sensor provides reliable, real-time temperature data that helps protect inventory, equipment, and processes. With flexible configuration options, users can tailor reading frequency and alert thresholds to match their specific application, enabling proactive decisions and preventing costly temperature excursions.
- The ALTA wireless temperature sensor uses a high-precision thermistor to capture ambient temperatures with dependable accuracy, making it ideal for monitoring air temperatures around critical equipment, storage areas, or process lines. Its focus on ambient conditions ensures you’re aware of the actual environment affecting your goods and infrastructure.
- Designed for wireless operation, it communicates data to a Monnit gateway and cloud portal, providing real-time visibility from anywhere. This wireless capability eliminates the need for hardwired sensors in many setups, reducing installation complexity and enabling quick deployment across mazes of equipment.
- Customization at your fingertips includes programmable sampling frequencies, so you can balance data granularity with battery life. Whether you need frequent updates during critical events or longer intervals for routine monitoring, the ALTA sensor adapts to your monitoring strategy.
- Threshold-based alerts empower proactive management by notifying you when temperatures rise above or drop below preset limits. These alerts can be delivered via email or SMS, helping you respond quickly to environmental changes that could impact product quality or equipment performance.
- Rugged, industrial-grade construction and long-term battery life make the ALTA sensor suitable for challenging environments. Its compact form factor allows for easy mounting in tight spaces, while its durable housing withstands vibrations, dust, and other job-site conditions that can impact sensor readings.

How to install Monnit ALTA Industrial Wireless Temperature Sensor
- Plan your installation by identifying the area where ambient temperature monitoring is most critical, ensuring the sensor will accurately reflect the environment around the items or equipment you want to protect.
- Prepare the mounting site and secure the sensor in a location protected from direct heat sources or radiant heaters, which could skew ambient readings. Ensure the sensor has a clear line of sight to other wireless devices if applicable.
- Install the battery or power source as required by the model, following the manufacturer’s guidelines for replacement or installation to maintain optimal battery life and data integrity.
- Pair the sensor with your Monnit gateway and register it in the Monnit Cloud Portal. This initial pairing establishes the wireless link and creates a dedicated device profile for monitoring and alerting.
- Configure the sampling frequency to match your monitoring needs—short intervals for dynamic environments or longer intervals for routine monitoring—then set high and low temperature thresholds to trigger alerts when conditions deviate from accepted ranges.
- Test the setup by verifying live readings in the dashboard and triggering a test alert to confirm that notifications are delivered as expected. Validate that data is saved to the cloud and accessible for reporting and analysis.
