Easily monitor industrial & scientific devices

Monnit’s Industrial 0-20 mA Current Meter is capable of measuring the current off another device or sensor up to 20mA DC. This current meter is a staple in R&D departments, academic labs, healthcare settings, and other areas that rely on industrial and/or scientific sensors.

Users routinely interface Monnit’s Wireless Current Meters with pH sensors, magnetic flow meters, dissolved oxygen or pressure sensors, velocity or acceleration sensors, industrial vibration sensors, and industrial accelerometers. If the current deviates from user-set limits, Monnit’s sensor instantly alerts designated personnel via email, call, or text.


Automatically measure and store data in real time

By connecting the leads on the 0-20 mA Current Meter to the positive and ground terminals of another device, the sensor can measure the current and send data to the iMonnit Online Sensor Monitoring and Notification System. The data is stored in the online system and 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 certain thresholds have been met or exceeded.

This sensor comes with an industrial battery included with a life of up to 7 years

WARNING: Use caution when interfacing to the Monnit 0-20mA Current meter. Negative voltages, AC Voltages , or DC Voltage exceeding 3.6V CAN DAMAGE the electronics of the wireless sensor. Monnit is not responsible for troubleshooting, replacing or reimbursing damages incurred by disregarding this warning

All industrial sensors are enclosed in a reliable, weatherproof NEMA-rated enclosure that are constructed for both indoor and outdoor use. These rugged enclosures protect the sensor circuitry against;

  • Falling dirt
  • Wind-blown dust
  • Rain, sleet, snow, splashing water, and hose-directed water
  • Ice formation on the enclosure
  • Increased resistance to corrosion


Features

  • Impressive wireless range of up to 1,200 feet through walls
  • Frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS)
  • Improved interference immunity
  • Improved power management for longer battery life
  • Encrypt-RF® Security (Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange + AES-128 CBC for sensor data messages)
  • Stores 2000 to 4000 readings if gateway connection is lost (non-volatile flash, persists through the power cycle)
    • 10-minute heartbeats = ~ 22 days
    • 2-hour heartbeats = ~ 266 days
  • Over-the-air updates
  • Free iMonnit basic online wireless sensor monitoring and notification system to configure sensors, view data and set alerts via SMS text and email


Applications

  • Current Transducers
  • pH sensors
  • Dissolved oxygen sensors
  • Pressure sensors
  • Magnetic flow sensors


IMPORTANT - Sensor Operation

Please note: this sensor requires both an applicable Gateway and iMonnit software to operate. For further information, please refer to the tabs above or related products below.


Monnit Gateway Options

An integral component of any IoT network is the gateway. A gateway device allows for data from sensors to be transmitted to the iMonnit software platform.


Monnit Ethernet Wireless Gateway 4

Monnit’s Ethernet Gateways allow your Monnit Wireless Sensors to communicate with the iMonnit™ Online Wireless Sensor Monitoring and Notification System without the need for a PC. Simply provide power and plug the gateway into an open Ethernet network port with an internet connection. It will then automatically connect with our online servers, providing the perfect solution for commercial locations where there is an active internet connection.

Monnit 4G + Ethernet IoT Gateway

The ALTA® by Monnit Wireless IoT Gateway combines a 4G LTE CAT-M1/NB2 cellular engine and Ethernet platform with Monnit’s wireless access point network to aggregate and communicate data from Monnit ALTA Wireless Sensors. The ALTA IoT Gateway allows ALTA Sensors to operate on the world’s leading cellular networks and stay connected to the Internet. The gateway uses AC main power but also has redundant power through a battery backup lasting up to 60 hours.

To meet the global demand for enterprise IoT deployment, the IoT Gateway communicates with the cloud-based iMonnit® monitoring software via cellular transmission, making it ideal for remote locations or where the Internet isn’t available. The RJ-45 Ethernet jack allows local device configuration, diagnostics, and connectivity backup. The IoT Gateway is instrumental in sending sensor notifications via text, email, or call if user-defined conditions are met or exceeded.

Online Sensor Monitoring Software

iMonnit is a cloud based mobile internet platform and central hub for managing Monnit and ALTA products. All data is secured on dedicated servers operating Microsoft SQL Server. This online user interface is where all your device settings can be arranged, supervised, and modified to reflect your unique environment. OneTemp will look after the activation and setup of your new online iMonnit account free of charge. There is also a free mobile app for you to stay in control at all times. Start with the basic version or upgrade to iMonnit Premiere to enjoy the full features your Monnit experience can offer.


iMonnit Basic Vs Premiere:

  • Basic - Free with no ongoing costs
    Monnit Basic is included for free with all wireless sensors, providing basic features for you to configure and monitor your sensors online. These basic features only support one network and one registered user on an account.
  • Premiere - Minimal Annual Fee
    iMonnit Premiere allows for enhanced functionality of your wireless sensors and includes an advanced software feature set at a low annual cost. All of iMonnit's advanced features are availble for configuration. You can have more sensors on your account, support multiple users, and view floorplans for all your sensors.
