how to install Monnit ALTA Wireless Accelerometer
Getting started with the Monnit ALTA Wireless Accelerometer is straightforward. Begin by selecting an appropriate mounting location that can reliably reflect the asset’s orientation or movement without obstructions. Remove the battery cover to insert a fresh coin cell, ensuring proper polarity, and reseal the enclosure to protect against dust and incidental moisture exposure in hoteling or industrial settings. Once powered, place the device within range of your ALTA gateway and initiate pairing through the Monnit software or mobile app following the on-screen prompts. After pairing, configure the reporting interval to match your monitoring strategy—short intervals for fast-changing conditions and longer intervals for routine checks. Name the asset, set any thresholds or alert rules, and assign the sensor to the relevant site or asset group. Finally, verify data flow by checking the live dashboard to confirm that pitch, roll, and any movement events are being captured and transmitted correctly. Routine maintenance is simple: replace the coin cell at the recommended intervals, re-check the mounting, and review alert configurations as asset usage evolves.
