Monnit ALTA Wireless Thermocouple Sensor - Commercial AA Battery Powered

Meet the Monnit ALTA Wireless Thermocouple Sensor, a versatile, commercial-grade temperature monitoring solution designed to simplify precision measurement across busy facilities. This sensor adapts to your exact thermocouple needs with two reliable configurations: a hardwired thermocouple option for fixed installations and a K-type connector with a needle probe for flexible, probe-based measurements. The hardwired configuration supports temperatures up to 400°C (752°F), ensuring you can monitor high-heat equipment, ovens, furnaces, and process lines with confidence. The K-type option, paired with a needle probe, broadens the sensor’s applicability across various thermocouple types and temperature ranges, enabling fast deployments in kitchens, clean rooms, labs, or industrial environments. With commercial AA battery power, the ALTA sensor delivers true wireless convenience—eliminating costly wiring and enabling scalable temperature monitoring across multiple zones. This combination of flexibility, accuracy, and ease of installation makes it a standout choice for facilities managers, energy teams, and quality control professionals who demand reliable data to optimize operations and ensure compliance.

• Flexible thermocouple configurations for broad coverage - The Wireless Thermocouple Sensor is designed to adapt to your measurement needs with two robust options. Choose the hardwired thermocouple for fixed installations and high-stability measurements up to 400°C (752°F). Or opt for the K-type connector with a needle probe to accommodate a wide range of thermocouple types and temperatures. This dual-configuration approach lets you monitor diverse processes—from high-temperature equipment to ambient room conditions—without sacrificing accuracy or portability. Whether you’re integrating into an existing control system or outfitting a new monitoring network, the ALTA sensor delivers reliable, scalable performance that aligns with your specific thermocouple requirements.
• True wireless operation with long-lasting AA batteries - Designed for effortless deployment, the ALTA sensor runs on commercial AA batteries, removing the need for power wiring and enabling rapid installation across multiple zones. This wireless design minimizes installation time, reduces infrastructure costs, and supports flexible placement in challenging spaces like equipment rooms, above ceilings, or along conveyor lines. With optimized power efficiency and smart sleep modes, battery life is extended to maximize uptime and minimize maintenance interruptions, so you can focus on monitoring temperatures rather than managing power.
• Seamless integration with Monnit gateways and cloud-based monitoring - The ALTA Wireless Thermocouple Sensor communicates with Monnit gateways and the cloud, delivering real-time readings to a centralized dashboard. Configure alerts for temperature excursions, review historical trends, and export data for compliance reporting. The Monnit Portal offers intuitive dashboards, customizable notifications via email or SMS, and API access for seamless integration with building management systems (BMS), ERP, or data analytics platforms. This holistic visibility helps you optimize energy use, safeguard product quality, and support audit readiness across facilities ranging from food service and cold storage to manufacturing and data centers.
• Designed for commercial and industrial environments - Built to withstand the demands of busy facilities, the ALTA Wireless Thermocouple Sensor supports a wide array of applications. Use it for HVAC system monitoring, cold-chain integrity, refrigerated room control, process validation in manufacturing, laboratory experiments, server room temperature oversight, and general ambient temperature surveillance. The combination of flexible thermocouple options, wireless connectivity, and battery-powered operation makes this sensor ideal for retrofit projects or new installations where hard-wiring would be expensive or impractical. Deploy multiple sensors to create a comprehensive temperature map of your facility and gain actionable insights to reduce energy waste, prevent product spoilage, and maintain regulatory compliance.
• Easy setup, maintenance, and scalability - The Monnit ALTA sensor is designed for quick installation and effortless expansion. Mount the device in minutes, connect the thermocouple or K-type probe, insert fresh AA batteries, and pair with a Monnit Gateway. From there, name sensors, assign locations, calibrate, and set alert thresholds within the Portal. As your monitoring needs grow, you can effortlessly add more ALTA sensors and create a scalable network that delivers centralized temperature visibility across the entire operation, all while minimizing maintenance overhead and wiring complexity.
