Enhancing Industrial Operations with Monnit’s Wireless Contact Sensors

Monnit’s Industrial Wireless 5-Input Dry Contact Sensors is engineered for harsh environments, offering robust detection capabilities for contact between various wired contact points including mechanical switches, relays, transistor switches, or contact plates. Featuring a sturdy cable length of 0.9 m (3') with bare-wire terminations, these sensors seamlessly integrate with switches in industrial settings.

Functioning on the principle of utilising five input wires and one ground wire, these sensors excel at identifying contact between any of the five inputs and the ground wire. They can be effortlessly integrated into existing switches or contact plates within industrial environments. Once contact is detected between any input and ground, these sensors promptly transmit wireless communication to the gateway for secure data transfer to iMonnit or other approved data services.

Additionally, these sensors can be configured to detect closed and open loops for each of the five inputs, providing immediate alerts for contact closures, openings, and state changes within industrial operations.

Warning: Use caution when interfacing the ALTA 5-Input Dry Contact Sensors. Any external AC or DC voltages will damage the electronics of the wireless sensor.

This sensor comes with an industrial battery included with a 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

Empowering Efficiency and Insight in Harsh Environments

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.
