how to install Monnit Alta Wireless Voltage Meters
Installing the Monnit Alta Wireless Voltage Meter is quick and straightforward, designed to minimize downtime and maximize data reliability. Follow these steps to get up and monitoring fast:
- Plan a measurement point with accessible positive and ground terminals and ensure the device under test is de-energized before making connections.
- Connect the meter’s leads to the device under test, placing the red lead on the positive terminal and the black (ground) lead on the ground terminal, observing correct polarity.
- Affix the Alta meter in a secure, vibration-free location with proper clearance for the wiring and the wireless antenna. Avoid metal enclosures or shielding that could impair transmission.
- Insert or position the coin cell battery as indicated by the housing, ensuring a proper seal and contact to maximize battery life and reliability.
- Power up (if applicable) and initiate pairing with your Monnit gateway using the Monnit Portal or mobile app. Follow on-screen prompts to add the sensor, assign a site, and name the measurement point.
- Configure reporting cadence, alert thresholds, and data retention policies in the Monnit dashboard. Validate that voltage readings are visible in real time and that alerts trigger as expected.
- Periodically inspect the installation for loose connections, battery condition, and environmental exposure. Schedule routine maintenance checks to sustain accuracy and reliability.
- Note on safety and compliance: Always follow local electrical codes and safety practices when attaching test leads to live equipment. Use appropriate PPE and ensure that the measurement setup does not interfere with protected circuits or trip devices.
