The ALTA® Wireless Pressure Meter remotely monitors the line pressure of gases, vapors, or liquids, sending reports on
line pressure at a user-defined time interval or Heartbeat. A number of measurements per Heartbeat that are used to
generate a statistically improved report on the pressure may also be determined by the user. The meter sends the
reported pressure value to iMonnit Sensor Management and Monitoring Software. Based on the configuration of iMonnit,
the readings can be reported in pounds per square inch, atmospheres, bars, kilopasacals, Torrs, or a custom unit defined
relative to the upper and lower PSI range. If pressure is detected outside of your settings, iMonnit sends an alert via text,
email, or call. You can get the ALTA Pressure Sensor set up and running within minutes.
The pressure meter is a gauge meter, meaning that the pressures the meter measures are relative to atmospheric
pressure and are pressures over and above the atmospheric pressure. This meter combines a piezoresistive pressure
transducer with 1% full scale accuracy and a corrosion resistant, NEMA 4X (IP66), 316L stainless steel housing
interfaced to a Monnit ALTA wireless radio. Depending on the meter, it measures pressure in the range from 0 to 50
pounds per square inch, gauge (PSIG, where gauge means the pressure is that measured above atmospheric pressure),
0 to 300 PSIG, 0 to 750 PSIG, or 0 to 3000 PSIG.

II. ORDER OF OPERATIONS
It is important to understand the order of operations for activating your sensor. If performed out of sequence, your sensor
may have trouble communicating with iMonnit. Please perform the steps below in the order indicated to make sure you
are performing the setup correctly.
1. Create an iMonnit account (If a new user).
2. Register all sensors and gateways to a network in iMonnit.
Sensors can only communicate with gateways on the same iMonnit network.
3. Connect/power on the gateway and wait until it checks into iMonnit.
4. Power on the sensor and verify it checks into iMonnit.
We recommend powering the sensor on near the gateway then moving to the
installation location, checking signal strength along the way.
5. Configure the sensor for use. (This can be done at any point after step 2.)
6. Install the sensor in the final location.
Note: For information on setting up iMonnit and the gateway
refer to the iMonnit user guide and the gateways user guide.
Note: Device specific setup is covered in more detail in the
following user guide sections.
3. Adding your device. See Figure 2.
You will need to enter the Device ID and the SC from the sensor in the
corresponding text boxes. Use the camera on your smartphone to scan the QR
code on your device. If you do not have a camera on your phone, or the system is
not accepting the QR code, you may enter the Device ID and SC manually.
- The Device ID is a unique number located on each device label.
- Next, you?ll be asked to enter the SC from your device. An SC consists of letters
and must be entered in upper case (no numbers). It can also be found on the
barcode label of your device.
When completed, select the Add Device button.
III. PORTAL AND SENSOR SETUP
If this is your first time using iMonnit, you will need to create a new account. If you have already created an account, start
by logging into iMonnit. For instructions on how to register and set up your Monnit account, please consult the iMonnit
user guide.
STEP 1: ADD DEVICE
1. Add the sensor in iMonnit.

IV. BATTERIES AND INSTALLATION
INSTALLING/REPLACING BATTERIES
ALTA® commercial pressure sensors are powered by AA batteries. Industrial sensors need a 3.6V Lithium battery
supplied from Monnit or another industrial battery supplier. Monnit encourages customers to recycle all old batteries.
When you are finished adding the sensor to your account, the next step is to insert the batteries. The type of battery you
use will depend on the category of your sensor.
PAGE 4
AA Batteries
Two replaceable 1.5V AA-sized batteries (included with purchase) power the standard
version of this sensor. The typical battery life is up to 10 years.
This sensor is also available with a line-power option. The line-powered version has a
barrel power connector, allowing it to be powered by a standard 3.0?3.6V power
supply. The line-powered version also uses two standard 1.5V AA batteries as backup
for uninterrupted operation in the event of a line-power outage.
Power options must be selected at the time of purchase, as the internal hardware of
the sensor must be changed to support the selected power requirements. Place
batteries in the device by first taking the sensor and sliding the battery door open.
Insert fresh AA batteries in the carriage, then shut the battery door.
Complete the process by opening up iMonnit and selecting Sensors from the main navigation menu. Verify that iMonnit
shows that the sensor has a full-battery level.
To replace the batteries in a commercial sensor, make sure that removing power will not interfere with any upcoming data
message. Remove the old batteries, and follow the battery installation instructions with two, new, non-rechargeable, 1.5
Volt, AA batteries. As with the industrial sensors, the commercial sensor will pick up its old configurations from the
gateway and continue to provide data at the same intervals, but beginning at the time at which the sensor starts up anew.
Figure 8
The Industrial Wireless Sensor comes with a 3.6V Lithium battery installed. The
sensor does not need to be taken apart for battery installation and the battery is not
rechargeable. The ALTA battery life for the industrial sensor is up to seven years.
Open iMonnit and select Sensors from the main navigation menu. Verify iMonnit
shows that the sensor has a full-battery level.
In order for the sensor to function properly, you will need to attach the included
antenna. Simply screw the antenna onto the barrel connector on the top of the
device. Make sure the antenna connection is snug, but do not over tighten. When
placing the sensor, make sure to mount the sensor with the antenna straight up
(vertical) to ensure the best wireless radio signal.
Since the electronics are sealed within the sensor housing, we have added an
"On/Off" switch to the unit for your convenience. If you are not using the sensor,
simply leave the button in the "Off" position to preserve battery life. If the sensor
needs to be reset for any reason, you can simply cycle the power by turning the switch to
the "Off" position and waiting 30 seconds before powering it back on.
To replace the battery in an industrial sensor, remove the old battery from the sensor when loss of power will not interfere
with any upcoming data message.
Industrial Batteries
Figure 9
WARNING: The new, replacement battery
MUST be a single, new, ER14505M, 3.6
Volt, AA battery. This ER14505M can only
be a RAMWAY, TITUS, or GMB POWER
ER14505M battery, preferably a RAMWAY ER14505M
battery. Follow the battery installation instructions
above with the ER14505M battery.
WARNING: ONLY install new alkaline batteries from the same manufacturer, when
replacing batteries in AA commercial sensors.
Figure 10
PAGE 5
SENSOR PLACEMENT
Place each ALTA® sensor within 1,200 feet of the gateway. The sensor should be located to avoid transmissions through
metal, or concrete, and should be further repositioned to avoid such obstacles if radio communication is spotty. A sensor
should also be placed at least three feet from the gateway and other sensors.
Except for ALTA-ISX? products under the specific conditions for which they are approved, ALTA sensors should NOT be
placed where they can be exposed to volatile or flammable gas. An ALTA sensor should be deployed where the sensor
will be protected from operating temperatures outside those disclosed in the datasheet. ALTA commercial sensors are
not recommended for use in fridges and freezers; where a sensor will be deployed in a fridge or freezer an industrial
sensor is recommended.
Since the electronics are sealed within the sensor housing, we have added an "On/Off" switch to the unit for your
convenience. If you are not using the sensor, simply leave the button in the "Off" position to preserve battery life. If the
sensor needs to be reset for any reason, you can simply cycle the power by turning the switch to the "Off" position and
waiting 30 seconds before powering it back on.
ALTA commercial sensors are not designed for wet environments, environments with fluctuating or excessive humidity, or
where they will be exposed to corrosive or deoxidizing gas or vapor (e.g., chlorine gas, hydrogen sulfide gas, ammonia
gas, sulfuric acid gas, nitric oxide gas, etc.). Commercial sensors also should not be placed in: excessively dusty
locations; places with salt water, oils, chemical liquids, or organic solvents; low- or high-pressure environments; locations
where there are excessively strong vibrations; or, in other places where similar hazardous locations exist.
Industrial sensors, which are weathertight, may be deployed both outdoors and indoors. The enclosure of the industrial
sensor protects against falling dirt, wind-blown dust, rain, sleet, snow, splashing water, and hose-directed water. The
industrial sensor also provides increased corrosion resistance and remains undamaged by ice formation.
WARNING: In placing the sensor, be aware that the sensor has a mechanical impact rating of IK06,
meaning that the housing of the commercial and industrial sensors, protect the sensor from a mechanical
impact of one Joule, which is roughly equivalent to dropping a solid metal sphere weighing 500 grams from
twenty centimeters on the respective housing. The sensor is not rated for greater mechanical impacts.
Justification of a mechanical impact rating less than five Joules exists by: (1) a documented Risk Analysis maintained
performed by Monnit; (2) installation of the sensor in locations that cannot easily be touched by unauthorized persons or
the general public; (3) the equipment is only accessed in normal use for occasional operations such as adjustment,
programming, or maintenance; and, the warning label provided on the sensor and the statement herein of the IK06 rating
of the product. Use of the sensor in a manner inconsistent with justifications two and three may impair the protections of
the sensor.
MOUNTING THE SENSOR
The sensors feature mounting flanges and can be attached to most surfaces
using the included mounting screws or double-sided tape. For a wooden
surface, a metallic surface, or dry-wall, the included double-sided tape (use
two pieces) or the two included screws may be used. For masonry, use the
included double-sided tape. If the included screws are not available, use
two #7, 7/16? (0.4375?) screws. If the included double-sided tape is not
available, use one or more pre-cut, double-sided foam squares of
dimensions 1/32? x 3/4" x 3/4" available from ULINE as model number
S-11695, or the like.

PAGE 6
ANTENNA ORIENTATION
Get the best performance out of ALTA Wireless Sensors by
properly positioning antennas. Point sensor and gateway
antennas in the same direction, pointing vertically from the device.
If the sensor is mounted flat on a horizontal surface, bend the
antenna as close to the sensor housing as possible, with most of
the antenna pointing vertically. Make the antenna wire as straight
as possible, avoiding any kinks and curving of the wire. Sensors
must be at least three feet away from other sensors and the
wireless gateway to function.
CLEANING
When needed, clean the sensor with a damp, but not dripping-wet,
cloth where the sensor is installed.

Select the Readings tab within the top horizontal menu bar to view the sensor?s data history as time-stamped data.
- On the far right of the Sensor History Data is a cloud icon . Selecting this icon will export an Excel file of your
sensor data into your downloads folder.
The data file will have the following fields:
Message ID: Unique identifier of the message in the database.
Sensor ID: If multiple sensors are exported, you can distinguish between the sensors using this number ? even if the
names are the same.
Sensor Name: The name you gave the sensor.
Date: The date the message was transmitted from the sensor.
Value: Data presented with transformations applied, but without additional labels.
Formatted Value: Data transformed and presented as it is shown in the monitoring portal.
Battery: Percent of battery remaining.
Raw Data: Raw data as it is stored from the sensor.
Sensor State: Binary field represented as an integer containing information about the state of the sensor when the
message was transmitted. (See ?Sensor State? explained below.)
Alert Sent: Boolean indicating if this reading triggered a notification sent from the system.
Signal Strength: Percent of radio signal strength.
Voltage: Voltage supplied by battery.
Note: Make sure you have the date range for the data you need input in the ?From? and ?To? text boxes. This will
be the previous day by default. Only the first 2,500 entries in the selected date range will be exported.
The value presented here is generated from a single byte of stored data. A byte consists of eight bits of data that we read
as Boolean (True (1) / False (0)) fields.
When broken into individual bits, the State byte contains the following information: aaaabcde
STS: This value is specific to the sensor profile and is often used to indicate error states and other sensor conditions.
UNUSED: This sensor does not use these bits.
AWARE: Sensors become aware when critical sensor-specific conditions are met. Going aware can cause the sensor to
trigger and report before the heartbeat and cause the gateway to forward the data to the server immediately, resulting in
near immediate transmission of the data.
TEST: This bit is active when the sensor is first powered on or reset and remains active for the first nine messages when
using default configurations.
STS Specific Codes:
0 = No problems, sensor is functioning normally.
1 = Open circuit detected in lead.
2 = Short circuit detected in lead.
3 = Range error.
If you have calibrated the sensor, the Calibrate Active field is set to False (0) and the sensor is operating inside the Min
and Max thresholds, the bits look like 00000000, this is represented as 0.
If the sensor is using factory calibrations and it is outside the threshold, the bit values are 00010010 and are represented
as 18(16+2) because both the bit in the 16 value is set and the bit in the 2 value is set.

A. The Sensor Name is a unique name you give the sensor to easily
identify it in a list and in any notifications.
B. The Heartbeat Interval is how often the sensor communicates
with the gateway if no activity is recorded.
C. Aware State Heartbeat is how often the sensor communicates
with the gateway while in an Aware State.
D. Assessments per Heartbeat is how many times between
heartbeats a sensor will check its measurements against its
thresholds to determine whether it will enter an Aware State.
E. Below is the minimum reading the sensor should record before
entering an Aware State.
F. Above is the maximum reading the sensor should record before
entering an Aware State.
G. The Aware State Buffer is a buffer to prevent the sensor from
bouncing between Standard Operation and Aware State when the
assessments are very close to a threshold. For example, if a
Maximum Threshold is set to 90° and the buffer is 1°, then once the
sensor takes an assessment of 90.1° it will remain in an Aware State
until dropping to 89.0°.
Similarly, at the Minimum Threshold, the pressure will have to rise
above the threshold to return to Standard Operation.
H. The Stabilization determines the number of milliseconds the
pressure sensor allows the pressure transducer to stabilize before
taking a measurement.
I. Failed transmissions before link mode is the number of
transmissions the sensor sends without response from a gateway
before it goes to battery-saving link mode. In link mode, the sensor
will scan for a new gateway, and if not found, it will enter
battery-saving sleep mode for up to 60 minutes before trying to scan
again. A lower number will allow sensors to find new gateways with
fewer missed readings. Higher numbers will enable the sensor to
remain with its current gateway in a noisy RF environment. Zero will
cause the sensor to never join another gateway. To find a new gateway, the battery will have to be cycled out of the
sensor.
Settings View
Note: Be sure to select the Save button anytime you make a change to any of the sensor parameters. All
changes made to the sensor settings will be downloaded to the sensor on the next sensor heartbeat
(check-in). Once a change has been made and saved, you will not be able to edit that sensor?s
configuration again until it has downloaded the new setting.

Calibrate View
If a sensor has readings that need to be reset, the Calibrate tab will be
available for selection in the sensor tab bar.
To calibrate a sensor, ensure that the environment of the sensor and other
calibration devices are stable.
Enter the actual (accurate) reading from the calibration device into the text
field. Press Calibrate.
To ensure that the calibration command is received before the sensor's next
check-in, press the control button on the back of the gateway once to force
communication (Cellular and Ethernet gateways).
After pressing the Calibrate button and choosing the gateway button, the
server will send the command to calibrate the specified sensor to the
gateway. When the sensor checks in, it will send the pre-calibration reading
to the gateway, receive the calibration command, and update its
configuration. When the process is complete, it will send a ?Calibration Successful? message. The server will display the
sensor?s last pre-calibrated reading for this check-in, then all future readings from the sensor will be based on the new
calibration setting.
It is important to note that after calibrating the sensor, the sensor reading returned to the server is based on pre-calibration
settings. The new calibration settings will take effect on the next sensor heartbeat.
Note: If you would like to send the changes to the sensor right away, please remove the
battery(s) for a full 60 seconds, then re-insert the battery(s). This forces communication
from the sensor to the gateway and from the gateway to the sensor. If the sensor is an
industrial sensor, turn the sensor off for a full minute rather than removing the battery.

VII. MONNIT DATA SECURITY
Monnit works to ensure your data security is handled with the utmost care. The same methods utilized by financial
institutions to transmit data are also used in Monnit's security infrastructure. Security features from sensors to gateways
include tamper-proof network interfaces, data encryption, and bank-grade security.
Monnit?s proprietary sensor protocol uses low power and specialized radio equipment to transmit application data.
Wireless devices listening on open communication protocols cannot eavesdrop on sensors. Packet-level encryption and
verification is key to ensuring data traffic isn?t altered between sensors and gateways. Paired with a best-in-class range
and power consumption protocol, all data is transmitted securely from your devices, ensuring a smooth, worry-free
experience.
SENSOR COMMUNICATION SECURITY
Monnit's sensor-to-gateway, secure wireless
tunnel, Encrypt-RF? , is generated using
ECDH-256 (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman)
public key exchange to generate a unique
symmetric key between each pair of devices.
Sensors and gateways use this link-specific
key to process packet-level data with
hardware-accelerated 128-bit AES
encryption, which minimizes power
consumption to provide better battery life.
Thanks to this combination, Monnit proudly
offers robust bank-grade security at every
level.
SensorPrintsTM is the industry's only end-to-end Internet of Things (IoT) data authentication platform for low-power
wireless sensors. SensorPrints authenticates data by issuing a unique fingerprint for each device within the IoT. Data is
secured from the point of generation to the point of consumption. Easy to install and use, SensorPrints is the definitive IoT
security solution for any enterprise.
SensorPrints authenticates data at both the point of generation and consumption, creating trust between the sensor and
server levels. Implementing 256-bit SHA 3 authentication, SensorPrints creates a "fingerprint" for a Monnit Wireless
Sensor that contains an authenticated sensor message. When data is transmitted from the sensor, it is accompanied by a
generated authentication token. Upon receipt by the application, the token is evaluated via cryptographic hash function
against a unique per sensor secret key. This step provides an unprecedented level of full-coverage security for any Monnit
user wishing to secure their IoT devices and data.

XI. USER SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
READ CAREFULLY
WARNING: It is the responsibility of the user to enforce the country regulation and the specific environment
regulation.
WARNING: This product is not certified for use in hazardous locations (HAZLOC) where there is a risk of
explosions.
WARNING: IF THE SENSOR IS USED IN A MANNER NOT SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER, THE
PROTECTION PROVIDED BY THE EQUIPMENT MAY BE IMPAIRED. Do not disassemble the product; any
mark of tampering will compromise the warranty validity. We recommend following the instructions of this user
guide for correct setup and use of the product. Please handle the product with care, avoiding any dropping and
contact with the internal circuit board as electrostatic discharges may damage the product.
WARNING: The device has a mechanical stress rating of IK06, meaning its housing and/or its readings could be
compromised by an impact with greater energy than one Joule.
Justification of a mechanical impact rating less than five Joules exists by: (1) a documented Risk Analysis
performed and maintained by Monnit; (2) installation of the sensor in locations that cannot easily be touched by
unauthorized persons or the general public; (3) the equipment being only accessible in normal use for occasional
operations such as adjustment, programming, or maintenance.
Note: Every device has to be equipped with a proper antenna with specific characteristics. The antenna has to be installed
with care in order to avoid any interference with other electronic devices and has to guarantee a minimum distance from
the body (23 cm). In case this requirement cannot be satisfied, the system integrator has to assess the final product
against the SAR regulation.
