Monnit’s Enterprise Air Velocity/Speed Wireless Sensor helps facility managers and maintenance techs gauge and track HVAC performance by measuring system airflow and building/room pressure.

If air velocity (speed) deviates from user-set limits, an alert is issued instantly via text, email, or call. Early notifications allow HVAC contractors or maintenance techs to prevent failure (or predict and shorten downtime). Collected data also enables facility maintenance professionals to maintain comfort and proper ventilation, as well as track air volume filter status.

This air velocity/speed sensor measures the pressure difference between its two ports, accounts for ambient temperature and altitude, and determines system airflow speed in meters per second (m/s). The sensor is calibrated, temperature compensated, and has a -50 m/s to +50 m/s measurement range.


Maintain comfort and proper ventilation

The Wireless Air Velocity Sensor measures the pressure difference between two input ports, the temperature, and altitude determines the speed at which the air is moving in a system and transmits the measurement to iMonnit. When viewing the sensor from the top, the right inlet port is the positive or high side pressure input. When the pressure on this port is greater than the left port the sensor produces a negative pressure reading. When the pressure is greater on the left port the sensor produces a positive pressure reading. Combined with the temperature and the altitude, the sensor determines at what rate the air is flowing in a system.

This sensor come standard with two replaceable AA batteries. The typical battery life is approximately 10 years.

Monnit Gateway Options

An integral component of any IoT network is the gateway. A gateway device allows for data from sensors to be transmitted to the iMonnit software platform.


Monnit Ethernet Wireless Gateway 4

Monnit’s Ethernet Gateways allow your Monnit Wireless Sensors to communicate with the iMonnit™ Online Wireless Sensor Monitoring and Notification System without the need for a PC. Simply provide power and plug the gateway into an open Ethernet network port with an internet connection. It will then automatically connect with our online servers, providing the perfect solution for commercial locations where there is an active internet connection.

Monnit 4G + Ethernet IoT Gateway

The ALTA® by Monnit Wireless IoT Gateway combines a 4G LTE CAT-M1/NB2 cellular engine and Ethernet platform with Monnit’s wireless access point network to aggregate and communicate data from Monnit ALTA Wireless Sensors. The ALTA IoT Gateway allows ALTA Sensors to operate on the world’s leading cellular networks and stay connected to the Internet. The gateway uses AC main power but also has redundant power through a battery backup lasting up to 60 hours.

To meet the global demand for enterprise IoT deployment, the IoT Gateway communicates with the cloud-based iMonnit® monitoring software via cellular transmission, making it ideal for remote locations or where the Internet isn’t available. The RJ-45 Ethernet jack allows local device configuration, diagnostics, and connectivity backup. The IoT Gateway is instrumental in sending sensor notifications via text, email, or call if user-defined conditions are met or exceeded.

Online Sensor Monitoring Software

iMonnit is a cloud based mobile internet platform and central hub for managing Monnit and ALTA products. All data is secured on dedicated servers operating Microsoft SQL Server. This online user interface is where all your device settings can be arranged, supervised, and modified to reflect your unique environment. OneTemp will look after the activation and setup of your new online iMonnit account free of charge. There is also a free mobile app for you to stay in control at all times. Start with the basic version or upgrade to iMonnit Premiere to enjoy the full features your Monnit experience can offer.


iMonnit Basic Vs Premiere:

  • Basic - Free with no ongoing costs
    Monnit Basic is included for free with all wireless sensors, providing basic features for you to configure and monitor your sensors online. These basic features only support one network and one registered user on an account.
  • Premiere - Minimal Annual Fee
    iMonnit Premiere allows for enhanced functionality of your wireless sensors and includes an advanced software feature set at a low annual cost. All of iMonnit's advanced features are availble for configuration. You can have more sensors on your account, support multiple users, and view floorplans for all your sensors.
