ALTA Wireless Control

General Description

Monnit ALTA wireless control units contain two
separate relay switches allowing for individual
control through the iMonnit online sensors portal.
The ALTA control unit relays can be switched on/o󰀨
manually through the software or automatically

by any wireless sensor notication assigned to a
single sensor or group of sensors when a specied

condition is detected.

Principle of Operation

The ALTA control unit has two separate relays that

can be toggled on/o󰀨 at will by either: (a) the iMon­nit.com web portal; (b) any device that triggers a
notication on the same network.

Four LED indicators let the user know if the

device is powered on, communicating with the
online system and the status of each relay.

The user can manually turn a relay on or o󰀨

through the iMonnit software. Manual changes

are either: (a) temporary based on a set duration
(ex. activate the relay for 10 minutes then return to
the default state); (b) perpetuated indenitely until

overridden.

ALTA Wireless Control Features

• Wireless range of 1,000+ feet through 12-14 walls *

• 900 MHz Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS)

868 and 433 MHz Frequency Agile

• Improved interference immunity

• Encrypt-RF™ Security (Di󰀩e-Hellman Key Exchange +

AES-128 CBC for sensor data messages)

• 16,000 sensor message memory

• Over the air updates (future proof)

• Allows for automated control.

• 10-amp or 30-amp units available.

• Two separate relays per unit.

• Can be triggered by any Monnit wireless sensor

manually through the iMonnit software.

• AC powered, always on for immediate

response from paired sensors.

* Actual range may vary depending on environment.

Wireless Range Comparison

Each of the units two relays can also be controlled
automatically by any wireless sensor or group of
sensors. Automatic relay switching can be
triggered by setting the control parameters in a

sensor notication from the system. The user can
set the default state of each relay to on or o󰀨 and
user dened messages from sensors will cause the

relay unit to switch to the non-default state. The

relay switches back to its default state when the

condition is no longer met.

Example Use: If a water sensor detects water at

a certain level in a sump pit, the relay will switch
ON, activating the pump. When water is no longer
detected, the relay will switch OFF, deactivating the
pump motor.
