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 iMonnit Online Sensor
Monitoring and Notification System. The system
calculates dew point from the data and stores all three
data points in the online system where the data can be
reviewed and exported as a data sheet or graph.
Notifications can be set up through the online system
to alert the user when defined thresholds have been
met or exceeded.

Battery life is determined by sensor reporting
frequency and other variables. Other power options
are also available.

Power Options
The standard version of this sensor is powered by two replaceable 1.5 V AA sized batteries (included with purchase).
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 line power outage.
Power options must be selected at time of purchase, as the internal hardware of the sensor must be changed to support
the selected power requirements.

Operating Range
The sensor works stable within recommended Normal Range—see Figure 4. Long-term exposure to conditions outside Normal
Range, especially at humidity >80%RH, may temporarily offset the RH signal (+3%RH after 60h). After return into the Normal
Range it will slowly return towards calibration state by itself. Prolonged exposure to extreme conditions may accelerate aging.
Commercial Grade Sensors
Monnit commercial grade sensors are designed for applications in ordinary environments (normal room temperature,
humidity and atmospheric pressure). Do not use these sensors under the following conditions as these factors can
deteriorate the product characteristics and cause failures and burnout.
•
Corrosive gas or deoxidizing gas: chlorine gas, hydrogen sulfide gas, ammonia gas, sulfuric acid gas, nitric oxides
gas, etc.
•
Volatile or flammable gas
• Dusty conditions
• Low-pressure or high-pressure environments
• Wet or excessively humid locations
• Places with salt water, oils chemical liquids or organic solvents
• Where there are excessively strong vibrations
• Other places where similar hazardous conditions exist
Use these products within the specified temperature range. Higher temperature may cause deterioration of the
characteristics or the material quality.
Industrial Grade Sensors | Type 1, 2, 4, 4X, 12 and 13 NEMA Rated Enclosure
Monnit’s Industrial sensors are enclosed in reliable, weatherproof NEMA-rated enclosures. Our NEMA-rated enclosures
are constructed for both indoor or outdoor use and protect the sensor circuitry against the ingress of solid foreign objects
like dust as well as the damaging effects of water (rain, sleet, snow, splashing water, and hose-directed water).
