    Get alerted if a contact is broken

    The Monnit Dry Contact Sensor detects if contact is made or broken between two wired points. This sensor remotely monitors production line operation, tracks when a forklift’s seat is occupied, or alerts you if a gate was left open.

    Monnit’s Dry Contact sensor can be mounted quickly and wired to two endpoints (such as existing switches or contact plates). Be alerted in real time via email, text, or call if a contact is broken (indicating that the points are no longer touching) or if the two points make contact when they shouldn’t be. These sensors can be also retrofitted to bring new life (and intelligence) to equipment. Start remotely monitoring product volume, mechanical actuation, equipment use, and physical access security today.


    Lose contact? Know instantly

    The sensor comes with an industrial battery included with the life of up to 7 years. 

    All industrial sensors are enclosed in a reliable, weatherproof NEMA-rated enclosure that are constructed for both indoor and outdoor use. These rugged enclosures protect the sensor circuitry against;

    • Falling dirt
    • Wind-blown dust
    • Rain, sleet, snow, splashing water, and hose-directed water
    • Ice formation on the enclosure
    • Increased resistance to corrosion

    WARNING: Use caution when interfacing with Dry Contact Sensors. Any external AC or DC Voltages WILL DAMAGE the electronics of the wireless sensor. Monnit is not responsible for troubleshooting, replacing, or reimbursing damages incurred by disregarding this warning


    Features

    • Impressive wireless range of up to 1,200 feet through walls
    • Frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS)
    • Improved interference immunity
    • Improved power management for longer battery life
    • Encrypt-RF® Security (Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange + AES-128 CBC for sensor data messages)
    • Stores 2000 to 4000 readings if gateway connection is lost (non-volatile flash, persists through the power cycle)
      • 10-minute heartbeats = ~ 22 days
      • 2-hour heartbeats = ~ 266 days
    • Over-the-air updates
    • Free iMonnit basic online wireless sensor monitoring and notification system to configure sensors, view data and set alerts via SMS text and email

    IMPORTANT - Sensor Operation

    Please note: this sensor requires both an applicable Gateway and iMonnit software to operate. For further information, please refer to the tabs above or related products below.


    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.
