How to install Monnit ALTA Wireless Voltage Detection
- Prepare the monitored location: Ensure the area around the target circuit is safe and access to the electrical panel or device is clear. This sensor is designed for 24–500 VAC; do not use it on DC sources or voltages outside this range.
- Mount the sensor: Place the ALTA sensor close to the circuit you want to monitor. Use the included mounting hardware to secure it to a stable surface in a position that minimizes exposure to dust, moisture, and physical interference.
- Install the battery: Open the sensor enclosure and insert a fresh AA battery, following polarity indicators. Close the housing securely to protect internal components and maintain a proper seal against dust.
- Pair with the Monnit system: Power up the sensor and place it in pairing mode as directed in the Monnit setup guide. Add the device to your Monnit gateway or hub through the admin dashboard, following on-screen instructions to complete the pairing.
- Verify operation: Energize the monitored circuit and confirm that the Monnit dashboard reflects the correct power status in real time. Configure alerts (email, SMS, or push notifications) to notify personnel when power is lost or restored.
