Wireless Ultrasonic Sensors General Description ALTA Ultrasonic Sensors can be used in a variety of applications for measuring distances between the sensor and objects in its path. ALTA ultrasonic sensors are impervious to target surface and color, and feature autocalibration algorithms which allow them to adapt to variable environmental conditions and compensate for temperature and humidity effects. The ultrasonic sensors can also be calibrated through the Niagara Framework for greater accuracy in distance measurements. Principle of Operation The Ultrasonic Sensor sends out a high-frequency sound pulse and then times how long it takes for the echo of the sound to reflect back. The sensor has 2 openings on its front. One opening transmits ultrasonic waves (like a tiny speaker), the other receives them (like a tiny microphone). The ultrasonic sensor uses the speed of sound and the time difference between sending and receiving the sound pulse to determine the distance to an object. It will take readings at set intervals and report the data back to the Niagara Framework.

Principle of Operation The ALTA wireless dry contact sensor detects when there is contact between the two wired end points. It can easily be integrated into existing switches or contact plates. When the sensor detects contact between the two end points, it will immediately turn on the RF radio and transmit the data to the Edge 534 with Monnit and the Niagara Framework. The sensor can be configured to detect both closed and open loops alerting if contact is made or broken. Example Applications Barn door monitoring Freezer/cooler door monitoring Forklift seat switches Button or switch integration Production line tracking ALTA Industrial Wireless Dry Contact Sensor ALTA Commercial AA Wireless Dry Contact Sensor ALTA Commercial Coin Cell Wireless Dry Contact Sensor Wireless Button Press Sensors General Description The ALTA Wireless Button Sensor detects when the button has been pressed. Principle of Operation The ALTA Wireless Button Sensor sends a signal to the Edge 534 with Monnit and the Niagara Framework when the button is pressed.

Principle of Operation The ALTA Wireless Humidity (RH) Sensor measures the relative humidity at the device. The sensor returns RH and temperature values to the Edge 534 with Monnit and the Niagara Framework. Example Applications Greenhouse humidity monitoring Agriculture environmental monitoring Art gallery and museum environmental monitoring Humidor monitoring General weather and environmental monitoring Many additional applications ALTA Commercial Coin Cell Wireless Humidity Sensor Wireless Water Detection Sensors General Description The ALTA Wireless Water Detection Sensor detects the presence or non- presence of water. Principle of Operation The ALTA Wireless Water Detection Sensor detects when water is present by completing the circuit between the two leaded wires. When water is present the sensor will immediately turn on the RF radio and transmit the data to the Edge 534 with Monnit and the Niagara Framework. The sensor can be configured to detect both the presence and non-presence of water.

All Rights Reserved Revised 10/9/2020 M ONNIT S ENSOR M ULTI -P RODUCT F ACT S HEET Wireless Accelerometer – Tilt Sensor General Description The ALTA Wireless Accelerometer – Tilt Sensor is a digital, low-profile, capacitive sensor that is able to measure acceleration on three axes to provide a measure of pitch and roll. Principle of Operation The ALTA Wireless Accelerometer – Tilt Sensor activates at a set time interval (defined by user) and converts accelerometer measurements to pitch and roll (0° to 180° -> -180° to 0°). The data is displayed in degrees with 0.01° of resolution. Example Applications Inclination monitoring Pitch & roll Many additional applications Wireless Pulse Counter – Single Input General Description The ALTA wireless pulse counter can be connected to the pulse output of a system (water meter, power meter, etc.) to count the number of actuations within a given time frame. Principle of Operation The ALTA wireless pulse counter is an electronic counter capable of counting passive (open/closed switch) or active (Up to +15 VDC) pulses. The counter includes 3 software configurable low pass filter settings (No filter, 40 Hz filter, or 4 Hz filter). The pulse counter filters pulses with pulse widths greater than those designated in the technical specifications. For example, if the 4 Hz filter is set, the pulse counter will count a pulse if the pulse width is longer than 250 ms. If the pulse width is shorter than 250 ms, it will be completely or partially filtered.
