ABOUT ALTA WIRELESS PRESSURE METERS

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ALTA® Wireless Pressure Meter remotely monitors the line pressure of gases, vapors, or liquids, sending reports on line pressure at a user-defined time interval or Heartbeat. A number of measurements per Heartbeat that are used to generate a statistically improved report on the pressure may also be determined by the user. The meter sends the reported pressure value to iMonnit Sensor Management and Monitoring Software. Based on the configuration of iMonnit, the readings can be reported in pounds per square inch, atmospheres, bars, kilopasacals, Torrs, or a custom unit defined relative to the upper and lower PSI range. If pressure is detected outside of your settings, iMonnit sends an alert via text, email, or call. You can get the ALTA Pressure Sensor set up and running within minutes. The pressure meter is a gauge meter, meaning that the pressures the meter measures are relative to atmospheric pressure and are pressures over and above the atmospheric pressure. This meter combines a piezoresistive pressure transducer with 1% full scale accuracy and a corrosion resistant, NEMA4X (IP66), 316L stainless steel housing interfaced to a Monnit ALTA wireless radio. Depending on the meter, it measures pressure in the range from Oto 50 pounds per square inch, gauge (PSIG, where gauge means the pressure is that measured above atmospheric pressure), 0 to 300 PSIG, 0 to 750 PSIG, or Oto 3000 PSIG.

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 the setup correctly.

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

PORTAL AND SENSOR SETUP

If this is your first time using iMonnit, you will need to create a new account. If you have already created an account, start by logging into iMonnit. For instructions on how to register and set up your Monnit account, please consult the iMonnit user guide.

STEP 1: ADD DEVICE

Add the sensor in iMonnit.

• Add the sensor to your account by choosing Sensors in the main menu. Navigate to the Add Sensor button.

Find the device ID.

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.

You will need to enter the Device ID and the SC from the 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 SC manually.

• The Device ID is a unique number located on each device label.
• Next, you’ll be asked to enter the SC from your device. An SC 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.
To get up and running fast, your pressure sensor comes with preset use cases. Choose from the list or create your own custom settings. You can see your readings displayed in Fahrenheit or Celsius, the heartbeat interval, and aware state settings (see page 9 for definitions). Select the Skip button when completed.

STEP 3: VALIDATION
Check your signal.
The validation checklist will help 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.

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. See page 13 for how to set Actions for your sensor.
Select the Done button when completed.

BATTERIES AND INSTALLATION

When you are finished adding the sensor to your account, the next step is to insert the batteries. The type of battery you use will depend on the category of your sensor.

INSTALLING/REPLACING BATTERIES
ALTA commercial pressure sensors are powered by AA 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.

A Batteries

****Two replaceable 1.5V AA-sized batteries (included with purchase) power the standard version of this sensor. The typical battery life is up to 10 years. This sensor is also available with a line-power option. The line- powered version has a barrel power connector, allowing it to be powered by a standard 3.0-3.6V power supply. The line-powered version also uses two standard 1.5V 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 shows that the sensor has a full-battery level. To replace the batteries in a commercial sensor, make sure that removing power will not interfere with any upcoming data message. Remove the old batteries, and follow the battery installation instructions with two, new, non-rechargeable, 1.5 Volt, AA batteries. As with the industrial sensors, the commercial sensor will pick up its old configurations from the gateway and continue to provide data at the same intervals, but beginning at the time at which the sensor starts up anew.

WARNING: ONLY install new alkaline batteries from the same manufacturer, when replacing batteries in AA commercial sensors.

Industrial Batteries

The Industrial Wireless Sensor comes with a 3.6V Lithium battery installed. The sensor does not need to be taken apart for battery installation and the battery is not rechargeable. The ALTA battery life for the industrial sensor is up to seven years. Open iMonnit and select Sensors from the main navigation menu. Verify iMonnit shows that the sensor has a full-battery level. 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 the antenna connection is snug, but do not over tighten. When placing the sensor, make sure to mount the sensor with the antenna 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 it back on.

To replace the battery in an industrial sensor, remove the old battery from the sensor when loss of power will not interfere with any upcoming data message.

WARNING: The new, replacement battery MUST be a single, new, ER14505M, 3.6 Volt, AA battery. This ER14505M can only be a TRAMWAY, TITUS, or GMB POWER ER14505M battery, preferably a RAMWAY ER14505M battery. Follow the battery installation instructions above with the ER14505M battery.

SENSOR PLACEMENT
Place each ALTA® sensor within 1,200 feet of the gateway. The sensor should be located to avoid transmissions through metal, or concrete, and should be further repositioned to avoid such obstacles if radio communication is spotty. A sensor should also be placed at least three feet from the gateway and other sensors. Except for ALTA-ISX™ products under the specific conditions for which they are approved, ALTA sensors should NOT be placed where they can be exposed to volatile or flammable gas. An ALTA sensor should be deployed where the sensor will be protected from operating temperatures outside those disclosed in the datasheet. ALTA commercial sensors are not recommended for use in fridges and freezers; where a sensor will be deployed in a fridge or freezer an industrial sensor is recommended. 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 it back on. ALTA commercial sensors are not designed for wet environments, environments with fluctuating or excessive humidity, or where they will be exposed to corrosive or deoxidizing gas or vapor (e.g., chlorine gas, hydrogen sulfide gas, ammonia gas, sulfuric acid gas, nitric oxide gas, etc.). Commercial sensors also should not be placed in: excessively dusty locations; places with salt water, oils, chemical liquids, or organic solvents; low- or high-pressure environments; locations where there are excessively strong vibrations; or, in other places where similar hazardous locations exist. Industrial sensors, which are weathertight, may be deployed both outdoors and indoors. The enclosure of the industrial sensor protects against falling dirt, wind-blown dust, rain, sleet, snow, splashing water, and hose-directed water. The industrial sensor also provides increased corrosion resistance and remains undamaged by ice formation.

WARNING: In placing the sensor, be aware that the sensor has a mechanical impact rating of IK06, meaning that the housing of the commercial and industrial sensors, protect the sensor from a mechanical impact of one Joule, which is roughly equivalent to dropping a solid metal sphere weighing 500 grams from twenty centimeters on the respective housing. The sensor is not rated for greater mechanical impacts.

Justification of a mechanical impact rating less than five Joules exists by: (1) a documented Risk Analysis maintained performed by Monnit; (2) installation of the sensor in locations that cannot easily be touched by unauthorized persons or the general public; (3) the equipment is only accessed in normal use for occasional operations such as adjustment, programming, or maintenance; and, the warning label provided on the sensor and the statement herein of the IK06 rating of the product. Use of the sensor in a manner inconsistent with justifications two and three may impair the protections of the sensor.

MOUNTING THE SENSOR

The sensors feature mounting flanges and can be attached to most surfaces using the included mounting screws or double-sided tape. For a wooden surface, a metallic surface, or dry-wall, the included double-sided tape (use two pieces) or the two included screws may be used. For masonry, use the included double-sided tape. If the included screws are not available, use two #7, 7/16″ (0.4375″) screws. If the included double-sided tape is not available, use one or more pre-cut, double-sided foam squares of dimensions 1/32″ x 3/4″ x 3/4″ available from ULINE as model number S-11695, or the like.

ANTENNA ORIENTATION
Get the best performance out of ALTA Wireless Sensors by properly positioning antennas. Point sensor and gateway antennas in the same direction, pointing vertically from the device. If the sensor is mounted flat on a horizontal surface, bend the antenna as close to the sensor housing as possible, with most of the antenna pointing vertically. Make the antenna wire as straight as possible, avoiding any kinks and curving of the wire. Sensors must be at least three feet away from other sensors and the wireless gateway to function.

CLEANING
When needed, clean the sensor with a damp, but not dripping-wet, cloth where the sensor is installed.

SENSOR OVERVIEW IN iMONNIT

Select Sensors from the main navigation menu in iMonnit to access the Sensor Overview page and begin to configure the settings of the Pressure Sensor.

MENU SYSTEM

• A. Details – Displays a graph of recent sensor data
• B. Readings – List of all past heartbeats and readings
• C. Actions – List of all actions attached to the sensor
• D. Settings – Configurable levels for a sensor
• E. Calibrate – Sets the sensor to read more accurately
• Fr Scale – Changes the readings scale of the sensor

Directly under the top horizontal tabbed menu bar is an overview of your sensor. You can 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 is 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 outdated, 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 is at the top of every page. This will consistently display the present reading, signal strength, battery level, and status.
• B. The Readings section shows the most recent data received by the sensor.
• C. This graph charts any changes 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 date range.

Readings View

Select the Readings tab within the top horizontal menu bar to view the sensor’s data history as time-stamped data.

• On the far right of the Sensor History Data is a cloud icon Q. Selecting this icon will export an Excel file of your sensor data into your downloads 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 previous day by default. Only the first 2,500 entries in the selected date range will be exported.

The data file will have the following fields:

• Message ID: Unique identifier of the message in the database.
• Sensor ID: If multiple sensors are exported, you can distinguish between the sensors using this number – even if the names are the same.
• Sensor Name: The name you gave 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: Percent of battery remaining.
• Raw Data: Raw data as it is stored from the sensor.
• Sensor State: Binary field represented as an integer containing information about the state of the sensor when the message was transmitted. (See “Sensor State” explained below.)
• Alert Sent: Boolean indicating if this reading triggered a notification sent from the system.
• Signal Strength: Percent of radio signal strength.
• Voltage: Voltage supplied by battery.

Sensor State
The value presented here is generated from a single byte of stored data. A byte consists of eight bits of data that we read as Boolean (True (1) / False (0)) fields.
When broken into individual bits, the State byte contains the following information: aaaabcde

• STS: This value is specific to the sensor profile and is often used to indicate error states and other sensor conditions.
• UNUSED: This sensor does not use these bits.
• AWARE: Sensors become aware when critical sensor-specific conditions are met. Going aware can cause the sensor to trigger and report before the heartbeat and cause the gateway to forward the data to the server immediately, resulting in near immediate transmission of the data.
• TEST: This bit is active when the sensor is first powered on or reset and remains active for the first nine messages when using default configurations.
• STS Specific Codes:
  • 0 = No problems, sensor is functioning normally.
  • 1 = Open circuit detected in lead.
  • 2 = Short circuit detected in lead.
  • 3 = Range error.
• If you have calibrated the sensor, the Calibrate Active field is set to 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 are represented as 18(16+2) because both the bit in the 16 value is set and the bit in the 2 value is set.

Settings View

To edit the operational settings for a sensor, choose the Sensors option in the left main navigation menu, and then select the Settings tab to access the configuration page.

• A. The 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.
• D. Assessments per Heartbeat is how many times between heartbeats a sensor will check its measurements against its thresholds to determine whether it will enter an Aware State. Ee Below is the minimum reading the sensor should record before entering an Aware State.
• F. Above is the maximum reading the sensor should record before entering an Aware State. G5 The Aware State Buffer is a buffer to prevent the sensor from bouncing between Standard Operation and Aware State when the assessments are very close to a threshold. For example, if a Maximum Threshold is set to 90° and the buffer is 1 °, then once the sensor takes an assessment of 90.1 ° it will remain in an Aware State until dropping to 89.0°. Similarly, at the Minimum Threshold, the pressure will have to rise above the threshold to return to Standard Operation.
• H. The Stabilization determines the number of milliseconds the pressure sensor allows the pressure transducer to stabilize before taking a measurement.
• Failed transmissions before link mode is the number of transmissions the sensor sends without 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, it will enter battery-saving sleep mode for up to 60 minutes before trying to scan 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. 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. 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 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 text field. Press Calibrate. To ensure that the calibration command is received before 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, receive the calibration command, and update its configuration. When the process is complete, 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 communication from the sensor to the gateway and from the gateway to the sensor. If the sensor is an industrial sensor, 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 permissions 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 Date Certified is the date of the calibration is made.
• C The Certificate Valid Until field must be set one day after the date contained in the Date Certified field.
• D. Calibration Number and Calibration Type are unique values to your certificate.
• E. The Heartbeat Interval Reset provides an opportunity to change the heartbeat rate.

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.

Scale View

The scale option will be available in the tab bar. To change the pressure unit of measurement from or to PSI atmospher, bar, kPA, Torr, or a custom unit, select the Scale tab. Choose the text box to trigger a pop-up window allowing you to change the scale. Select the scale you prefer and push Set. Press the Save button to complete your adjustment.
