Description

Monnit ALTA Wireless Voltage Detection - 500 VAC - Coin Cell Powered (900 MHz)

The Monnit ALTA Wireless Voltage Detection sensor is a compact, battery-powered solution designed to monitor the presence or absence of AC power on equipment that runs off 24–500 VAC. With a focus on ease of installation, reliability, and seamless cloud-based monitoring, this sensor delivers real-time alerts to your Monnit gateway and ALTA dashboard, so you can protect critical systems like HVAC and irrigation without complex wiring. It’s purpose-built for AC-powered devices and is not intended for DC sources or voltages above 500 VAC. This makes it an ideal choice for building automation, energy management, and preventative maintenance programs where timely voltage status updates matter.

  • Voltage detection across 24–500 VAC: The ALTA sensor continuously monitors for the presence or absence of AC power on equipment powered within this range, letting you know immediately when a circuit energizes or de-energizes.
  • Coin cell powered, maintenance-light operation: This battery-powered design eliminates the need for hard-wired power, enabling quick deployments and reducing installation costs while delivering long-life operation.
  • 900 MHz wireless communication: Uses Monnit’s robust 900 MHz wireless technology to transmit status changes reliably to your gateway and cloud account, supporting scalable monitoring across multiple locations.
  • Compact, adaptable installation: The sensor’s small footprint is designed for easy mounting on equipment panels, junction boxes, or near HVAC and irrigation components, helping you monitor critical lines without bulky hardware.
  • Seamless Monnit ALTA integration: When paired with a Monnit gateway, the ALTA voltage detector feeds real-time alerts, dashboards, and historical data into your cloud-based monitoring system for proactive maintenance and energy management.

  • Communication path: Monnit Wireless network to gateway and cloud through ALTA platform.
  • Ideal applications: HVAC systems, sprinkler and irrigation controllers, and other building automation devices powered by AC.

How to install Monnit ALTA Wireless Voltage Detection

  • Identify the target device or circuit you want to monitor and confirm it operates within the 24–500 VAC range and is not DC-powered.
  • Choose a clean, dry mounting location on or near the equipment where the sensor can reliably sense the presence of AC power.
  • Mount the ALTA voltage detector using the included or recommended mounting method, ensuring the sensor remains secure and protected from moisture, dust, and debris.
  • Activate the sensor and insert a fresh coin cell battery if required; verify that the device powers up and enters a ready state.
  • Pair the sensor with your Monnit Gateway following the standard pairing process, add it to your ALTA account, and configure alert rules for voltage present and voltage absent events.
  • Test the installation by energizing and de-energizing the monitored circuit and confirming that the Monnit dashboard receives real-time status updates and that notifications are delivered to your chosen channels.
