USER GUIDE

ABOUT THE WIRELESS TILT DETECTION SENSOR

The ALTA Wireless Accelerometer – Tilt Detection Sensor is a digital, low- power, low-profile, MEMS sensor that is able to measure acceleration on one axis to provide a measure of the pitch. The sensor constantly monitors a single axis of rotation over a range of -179.9 to +180.0 degrees. The data is displayed in degrees with 0.1° of resolution. If the sensor does not experience a detectable orientation change, the sensor will produce a current report at a time interval (defined by the user). If an orientation change is detected, the sensor will report immediately. User-configurable angles are used to define regions for? Up??Down, and?Stuck?. Data is reported when the sensor move between these regions.

SENSOR SECURITY

The ALTA Wireless Accelerometer – Tilt Detection Sensor has been designed and built to securely manage data from sensors monitoring your environment and equipment. Hacking from botnets are in the headlines, Monnit Corporation has taken extreme measures to ensure your data security is handled with the utmost care and attention to detail. The same methods utilized by financial institutions to transmit data are also used in Monnit security infrastructure. Security features of the gateway include tamper-proof network interfaces, data encryption, and bank-grade security.

Monnit’s proprietary sensor protocol uses low transmit power and specialized radio equipment to transmit application data. Wireless devices listening on open communication protocols cannot eavesdrop on sensors. Packet-level encryption and verification are key to ensuring traffic aren’t altered between sensors and gateways. Paired with a best-in-class range and power consumption protocol, all data is transmitted securely from your devices. Thereby ensuring a smooth, worry-free, experience.

SENSOR COMMUNICATION SECURITY
Monnit sensor to gateway secure wireless tunnel is generated using ECDH-256 (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman) public key exchange to generate a unique symmetric key between each pair of devices. Sensors and gateways use this link-specific key to process packet-level data with hardware-accelerated 128-bit AES encryption which minimizes power consumption to provide the industry best battery life. Thanks to this combination, Monnit proudly offers robust bank-grade security at every level.

DATA SECURITY ON THE GATEWAY
The ALTA gateways are designed to prevent prying eyes from accessing the data that is stored on the sensors. Gateways do not run on an off-the-shelf multi- function OS (operating system). Instead, they run a purpose-specific real- time embedded state machine that cannot be hacked to run malicious processes. There are also no active interface listeners that can be used to gain access to the device over the network. The fortified gateway secures your data from attackers and secures the gateway from becoming a relay for malicious programs.

Monnet SECURITY
iMonnit is the online software and central hub for configuring your device settings. All data is secured on dedicated servers operating Microsoft SQL Server. Access is granted through the iMonnit user interface, or an Application Programming Interface (API) safeguarded by 256-bit Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.2) encryption. TLS is a blanket of protection to encrypt all data exchanged between Monet and you. The same encryption is available to you whether you are a Basic user or a Premiere user of iMonnit. You can rest assured that your data is safe with iMonnit.

ORDER OF OPERATIONS

It is important to understand the order of operations for activating your sensor. If performed out of sequence, your sensor may have trouble communicating with iMonnit. Please perform the steps below in the order indicated to make sure you are performing your set-up correctly.

Create an iMonnit Account (If new user).
Register all sensors and gateways to a network in iMonnit.
Sensors can only communicate with gateways on the same iMonnit network.
Connect/power on the gateway and wait till it checks into iMonnit.
Power on the sensor and verify it checks into iMonnit. We recommend powering the sensor near the gateway then moving to the installation location, checking signal strength along the way.
Configure sensor for use (This can be done at any point after step 2)
Install the sensor in the final location.

Note: For information on setting up iMonnit and the gateway refer to the iMonnit User Guide and the gateways user guide.
Note: Device-specific setup is covered in more detail in the following sections.

SETUP AND INSTALLATION

If this is your first time using the iMonnit online portal, you will need to create a new
account. If you have already created an account, start by logging in. For instructions on how to register and set up your iMonnit account, please consult the iMonnit User Guide.
STEP 1: ADD DEVICE

Add the sensor on iMonnit.
Add the sensor to your account by choosing Sensors in the main menu.
Navigate to the Add Sensor button.
Find the device ID. See Figure 1.
The Device ID (ID) and Security Code (SC) are necessary to add a sensor. These can both be located on the label on the side of your device.
Adding your device. See Figure 2.
You will need to enter the Device ID and the Security Code from your Sensor in the corresponding text boxes. Use the camera on your smartphone to scan the QR code on your device. If you do not have a camera on your phone, or the system is not accepting the QR code, you may enter the Device ID and Security Code manually. • The Device ID is a unique number located on each device label.
• Next, you’ll be asked to enter the Security Code from your device. A security code consists of letters and must be entered in upper case (no numbers). It can also be found on the barcode label of your device.

When completed, select the Add Device button.
STEP 2: SETUP
Select your use case. See Figure 3.
To get you up and running fast, your sensor comes with preset use cases. Choose from the list or create your own custom settings. You will see the heartbeat interval, and aware state settings (see page 9 for definitions). Select the Skip button when completed.

STEP 3: VALIDATION
Check your signal. See Figure 4.
The validation checklist will help you ensure your sensor is communicating with the gateway properly and you have a strong signal.
Checkpoint 4 will only complete when your sensor achieves a solid connection to the gateway. Once you insert the batteries (or flip the switch on an industrial sensor) the sensor will communicate with the gateway every 30 seconds for the first few minutes. Select the Save button when completed.

STEP 4: ACTIONS
Choose your actions. See Figure 5.
Actions are the alerts that will be sent to your phone or email in the event of an emergency. Low battery life and device inactivity are two of the most common actions to have enabled on your device. Select the Done button when completed.

SETTING UP YOUR TILT DETECTION SENSOR

When you are finished adding the sensor to your account, the next step is to insert the battery. The type of battery you use will depend on the category of your sensor. ALTA Wireless Accelerometer – Tilt Detection Sensors will either be powered by a commercial coin cell, AA, or an industrial battery.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
ALTA commercial sensors are powered by AA or CR2032 coin cell batteries. Industrial sensors need a 3.6V Lithium battery supplied from Monnit or another industrial battery
supplier. Monnit encourages customers to recycle all old batteries.

Coin Cell
The lifespan of a standard CR2032 coin cell battery in an ALTA Tilt Detection Sensor is 2 years.

Install a coin cell battery by first taking the sensor and pinching the sides of the enclosure. Gently pull up the enclosure, separating the sensor from its base. Then slide a new CR2032 coin cell battery with the positive side facing toward the base. Press the enclosure back together; you’ll hear a small click.
Lastly, open iMonnit select Sensors from the navigation menu. Verify that iMonnit is showing the sensor has a full battery level.

The standard version of this sensor is powered by two replaceable 1.5 V AA- sized batteries (included with purchase). The typical battery life is 10 years.

This sensor is also available with a line power option. The line-powered version of this sensor has a barrel power connector allowing it to be powered by a standard 3.0?3.6 V power supply. The line-powered version also uses two standard 1.5 V AA batteries as backup for uninterrupted operation in the event of a line power outage.

Power options must be selected at the time of purchase, as the internal hardware of the sensor must be changed to support the selected power requirements.
Place batteries in the device by first taking the sensor and sliding the battery door open. Insert fresh AA batteries in the carriage, then shut the battery door.
Complete the process by opening up iMonnit and selecting Sensors from the main navigation menu. Verify that iMonnit is showing the sensor has a full battery level.
3.6V Lithium batteries for the Industrial Wireless Tilt Detection Sensor are supplied by Monnit. The ALTA battery life for the Industrial battery is 5 years.
Industrial sensors come shipped with a 3.6V Lithium battery already installed. They do not need to be taken apart for battery installation and are not rechargeable.
Open iMonnit and select Sensors from the main navigation menu. Verify that iMonnit is showing the sensor has a full battery level. Replace the battery door by screwing in the four corners.

In order for the sensor to function properly, you will need to attach the included antenna. Simply screw the antenna onto the barrel connector on the top of the device. Make sure to snug the antenna connection, but do not overtighten. When placing the sensor, make sure to mount the sensor with the antenna oriented straight up (vertical) to ensure the best wireless radio signal.

Since the electronics are sealed within the sensor housing, we have added an “On/Off” switch to the unit for your convenience. If you are not using the sensor, simply leave the button in the off position to preserve battery life. If the sensor needs to be reset for any reason, you can simply cycle the power by turning the switch to the “Off” position and
waiting 30 seconds before powering back on.

MOUNTING THE SENSOR
Monnit wireless sensors feature mounting flanges and can be attached to most surfaces using the included mounting screws or double-sided tape. The sensor should be mounted directly on the door, gate, etc. being monitored.
For an additional layer of security, and to protect against tampering, you can mount a sensor inside a plastic box or cage.

ANTENNA ORIENTATION
In order to get the best performance out of your ALTA Wireless Sensors, it is important to note proper antenna orientation and sensor positioning. Antennas should all be oriented in the same direction, pointing vertically from the sensor. If the sensor is mounted flat on its back on a horizontal surface, you should bend the antenna as close to the sensor housing as possible giving you the most amount of antenna pointing vertically. You should make the antenna wire as straight as possible, avoiding any kinks and curving of the wire.

SENSOR OVERVIEW

Select Sensors from the main navigation menu on Monet to access the sensor overview page and begin making adjustments to your Tilt Detection Sensors.

MENU SYSTEM
Details – Displays a graph of recent sensor data.
Readings- List of all past heartbeats and readings.
Actions – List of all actions attached to this sensor.
Settings – Editable levels for your sensor.
Calibrate – Reset readings for your sensor.

Directly under the tab bar is an overview of your sensor. This allows you to see the signal strength and the battery level of the selected sensor. A colored dot in the left corner of the sensor icon denotes its status:
– Green indicates the sensor is checking in and within user-defined safe parameters.
– Red indicates the sensor has met or exceeded a user-defined threshold or triggered event.
– Gray indicates that no sensor readings are being recorded, rendering the sensor inactive.
– Yellow indicates that the sensor reading is out of date, due to perhaps a missed heartbeat check-in.

Details View
The Details View will be the first page you see upon selecting which sensor you would like to modify.

A. The sensor overview section will be above every page. This will consistently display the present reading, signal strength, battery level, and status.
B. The Recent Readings section below the chart shows your most recent data received by the sensor.
C. This graph charts how the sensor fluctuates throughout a set date range. To change the date range displayed in the graph, navigate up to the top of the Readings Chart section on the right-hand corner to change the form and/or to date.

Readings View
Selecting the ? Readings? tab within the tab bar allows you to view the sensor’s data history as time-stamped data.
– On the far right of the sensor history data is a cloud icon. Selecting this icon will export an excel file for your sensor into your download folder.
Note: Make sure you have the date range for the data you need input in the ? From? and ? To? text boxes. This will be the most recent week by default. Only the first 2,500 entries in the selected date range will be exported.
The data file will have the following fields:
MessageID: Unique identifier of the message in our database.
Sensor ID : If multiple sensors are exported you can distinguish which reading was from which using this number even if the names for some reason are the same.
Sensor Name : The name you have given the sensor.
Date: The date the message was transmitted from the sensor.
Value: Data presented with transformations applied but without additional labels.
Formatted Value: Data transformed and presented as it is shown in the monitoring portal.
Battery : Estimated life remaining of the battery.
Raw Data: Raw data as it is stored from the sensor.
Sensor State: Binary field is represented as an integer containing information about the state or the sensor when the message was transmitted. (See? Sensor State Explained? below).
Gateway ID: The Identifier of the gateway that relayed the data from the sensor.
Alert Sent: Boolean indicating if this reading triggered a notification to be sent from the system.
Signal Strength: Strength of communication signal between the sensor and the gateway, shown as a percentage value.
Voltage: Actual voltage measured at the sensor battery used to calculate battery percentage, similar to Received Signal you can use one or the other or both if they help you.
State
The integer presented here is generated from a single byte of stored data. A byte consists of 8 bits of data that we read as Boolean (True (1)/False (0)) fields.
Using a temperature sensor as an example.
If the sensor is using factory calibrations the Calibrate Active field is set True (1) so the bit values are 00010000 and it is represented as 16.
If the sensor is outside the Min or Max threshold, the Aware State is set True (1) so the bit values are 00000010 and it is represented as 2.
If the customer has calibrated the sensor in this field the Calibrate Active field is set False (0) AND the sensor is operating inside the Min and Max Thresholds, the bits look like
00000000 this is represented as 0.
If the sensor is using factory calibrations and it is outside the threshold the bit values are 00010010 and it is represented as 18 (16 + 2 because both the bit in the 16 value is set and the bit in the 2 value is set).
Note: These two are the only bits that are typically observed outside of our testing procedures.

The sensor will either be up at an angle, down at an angle or stuck in mid- transition. Any angle above the up angle or below the down angle will be counted as an acceptable
reading.

Here’s a helpful diagram of options for the rotational axis.

Settings View

To edit the operational settings for a sensor, choose the? Sensor? option in the main navigation menu then select the ? Settings? tab to access the configuration page.
A. Sensor Name is a unique name you give the sensor to easily identify it in a list and in any notifications.
B. The Heartbeat Interval is how often the sensor communicates with the gateway if no activity is recorded.
C. Aware State Heartbeat is how often the sensor communicates with the gateway while in an Aware State. In this case, the sensor becomes aware when it is stuck between an up angle and a downward angle.
D. Up Angle Threshold is the angle the sensor should be at when the sensor is up. Your Up Angle Threshold should always be higher than your down-angle threshold.
E. Down Angle Threshold is the angle the sensor should be at when the sensor is down.
F. Measurement Stability is the number of readings in a row before the last reading is reported. The default is three and we suggest this not be changed. If the movement — like on a gate for example — is slow, you may need to raise it.
G. Stuck Time Out is the time in seconds for the sensor to move from the down angle to an up angle and vice versa.
H. Rotational Axis is a drop-down menu to select the axis you wish to measure. While the Tilt Detection sensor can measure it on all three axes, it can only report readings from one positive or negative polarity.
I. In small sensor networks, the sensors can be set to synchronize their communications.
The default setting off allows the sensors to randomize their communications, therefore, maximizing communication robustness. Setting this will synchronize the communication of the sensors.
J. Failed transmissions before link mode is the number of transmissions the sensor sends without a response from a gateway before it goes to battery- saving link mode. In link mode, the sensor will scan for a new gateway and if not found will enter battery-saving sleep mode for up to 60 minutes before trying to scan again. A lower number will allow sensors to find new gateways with fewer missed readings. Higher numbers will enable the sensor to remain with its current gateway in a noisy RF environment better. (Zero will cause the sensor to never join another gateway, to find a new gateway the battery will have to be cycled out of the sensor.)

The default heartbeat interval is 120 minutes or two hours. It is recommended that you do not lower your heartbeat level too much because it will drain the battery. Finish by selecting the ? Save? button.

Note: Be sure to select the Save button anytime you make a change to any of the sensor parameters. All changes made to the sensor settings will be downloaded to the sensor on the next sensor heartbeat (check-in). Once a change has been made and saved, you will not be able to edit that sensor’s configuration again until it has downloaded the new setting.

Calibrate View
If a sensor type has readings that need to be reset, the? Calibrate? tab will be available for selection in the sensor tab bar.
To calibrate a sensor, ensure that the environment of the sensor and other calibration devices are stable. Enter the actual (accurate) reading from the calibration device into the ext field. If you need to change the unit of measurement you can do that here.
Press Calibrate.

To ensure that the calibration command is received prior to the sensor’s next check-in, press the control button on the back of the gateway, once, to force communication (Cellular and Ethernet gateways).
After pressing the “Calibrate” button and choosing the gateway button, the server will send the command to calibrate the specified sensor to the gateway. When the sensor checks in, it will send the pre-calibration reading to the gateway, then receive the calibration command and update its configuration. When the process is completed, it will send a ? Calibration Successful? message. The server will display the sensor’s last pre-calibrated reading for this check-in, then all future readings from the sensor will be based on the new calibration setting. It is important to note that after calibrating the sensor, the sensor reading returned to the server is based on pre-calibration settings. The new calibration settings will take effect on the next sensor heartbeat.
Note: If you would like to send the changes to the sensor right away, please remove the battery(s) for a full 60 seconds, then re-insert the battery(s). This forces the communication from the sensor to the gateway and this the message to make a change from the gateway back to the sensor. (If the sensors are industrial sensors, turn the sensor off for a full minute, rather than removing the battery).

Creating a Calibration Certificate
Creating a sensor calibration certificate will mask the calibration tab from those who should not have permission to adjust these settings. Permissions for self-certifying a calibration must be enabled in user permissions. Directly below the calibrate button is the selection to “Create Calibration Certificate.

A. The Calibration Facility Field will be filled. Select the drop-down menu to change your facility.
B. The?Certificate Valid Until? the field must be set one day in the future after the data contained in the “Date Certified” field.
C. “Calibration Number” and ” Calibration Type” are unique values to your certificate.
D. If necessary, you can reset the heartbeat interval here to 10 minutes, 60 minutes, or 120 minutes. By default, this will be set to no change.
E. Choose the “Save” button before moving on.
When the new certificate is accepted, the Calibration tab will change to a Certificate tab.

You will still be able to edit the certificate by choosing the Certificate Tab and navigating down to “Edit Calibration Certificate.”
The tab will revert back to “Calibrate” after the period for the certificate ends.
