Detect & defend from water damage

The sensor detects when water is present by completing the circuit between the two wires at the end of the water detection lead. When the detection state changes the sensor will immediately turn on the RF radio and transmit the data to the wireless gateway and iMonnit Online Sensor Monitoring and Notification System, allowing the user to immediately receive an SMS text or email alert. The sensor can be set to activate when the detection state changes, water is present, or water is absent. If the sensor sends an aware message, it can trigger the gateway to forward the data to iMonnit immediately, otherwise the data will be forwarded when the gateway talks to the server on its heartbeat or when triggered by another sensor. The sensor can be configured to detect both the presence and absences of water.


Protect your facility your way

Instant alerts from Monnit’s Water Detect Plus Sensors help defend against weather, faulty plumbing, and equipment failure. In addition to detection, the sensors monitor for water’s absence—helpful for sanitation and remediation.

Detect plus sensor employs a wall- or surface-mountable probe at the end of a 3’ lead to detect the water’s presence (or absence). The probe is often used in sanitation or process applications to detect levels in reservoirs or vats of non-combustible liquid. The Detect Plus probe helps minimize false alarms when mounted to compensate for expected variables, e.g., condensation.

This 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


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


Applications

  • Data Center and Server Room Leak Monitoring
  • Frozen or Burst Pipe Monitoring
  • Reservoir Level Monitoring
  • Water Heater Leak Detection
  • Sink and Toilet Leak Detection
  • Storage Unit Monitoring
  • Water Intrusion Monitoring

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.

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.
