Monnit ALTA Wireless Accelerometer - Tilt Sensor - Commercial AA Battery Powered

Meet the Monnit ALTA Wireless Accelerometer, a rugged tilt sensor engineered for commercial environments where knowing impact, vibration, and inclination matters. This compact device runs on a standard AA battery, enabling easy field deployment without power wiring or complex connectors. When mounted on equipment, doors, conveyors, or structural elements, the ALTA sensor continuously monitors motion and orientation, converting accelerometer measurements into meaningful pitch and roll data. It feeds this information to Monnit’s cloud platform, delivering real-time readings, historical trends, and proactive alerts to your team—so you can protect assets, optimize operations, and respond quickly to changing conditions. Whether you manage a manufacturing floor, a warehouse, a facility’s infrastructure, or a critical piece of machinery, ALTA helps you see what’s moving, how it’s moving, and when a change warrants attention.

  • Wireless, battery-powered simplicity: Designed to operate on AA batteries, the ALTA accelerometer eliminates the need for power wiring or complex installations. This keeps maintenance simple and costs predictable while enabling flexible placement across large facilities or remote locations. A replaceable battery strategy means minimal downtime and a lower total cost of ownership, so you can deploy sensors where they matter most without sacrificing reliability.
  • Precise tilt and orientation data: The device captures accelerometer measurements and translates them into meaningful tilt metrics—pitch and roll. Pitch typically ranges from 0° to 180°, while roll spans -180° to 180°, providing a complete picture of orientation changes. This makes ALTA ideal for monitoring lid angles, conveyor alignment, door position, equipment misalignment, and structural tilts that could signal risk or inefficiency.
  • Configurable sampling intervals for every use case: Activate data collection at a time interval you choose—ranging from frequent, high-resolution sampling for dynamic events to longer intervals for steady-state monitoring. This flexibility helps you balance data granularity with battery life and data storage, ensuring you receive the right insights without unnecessary transmissions.
  • Cloud-connected insights with alarms and dashboards: When paired with Monnit’s cloud platform, ALTA delivers real-time readings to intuitive dashboards, trend analyses, and customizable alerts. Set thresholds for pitch or roll changes, vibration spikes, or activity pauses, and receive notifications by email, SMS, or in-app alerts. Centralized monitoring lets facility managers, maintenance teams, and operators act quickly, coordinate responses, and maintain uptime across multiple sites from a single interface.
  • Rugged, installation-friendly design: Built for commercial settings, the ALTA accelerometer features a compact form factor and simple mounting options that suit machinery, doors, panels, and structural elements. Its robust housing protects sensitive electronics in busy environments, while easy mounting helps you deploy sensors quickly during new builds or retrofits—minimizing downtime and workflows during installation.
