MONNIT Industrial Wireless Open-Close Status Sensor
MONNIT Industrial Wireless Open-Close Status Sensor is an industrial wireless open-closed sensor designed to monitor whether an access point is open or closed. It uses a magnetic sensor and magnet arrangement to detect changes in position and wirelessly report the status through the Monnit ALTA system. The 433 MHz model is suited to applications requiring remote status monitoring of doors, windows, cabinets, gates and other access points. Its industrial sensor configuration includes mounting hardware, a magnetic trigger, pre-installed 3 V battery and SMA antenna.
The MONNIT Industrial Wireless Open-Close Status Sensor provides remote monitoring of access points where knowing whether something is open or closed is important. The sensor detects changes in the position of a magnetic trigger and communicates the status wirelessly through the Monnit ALTA system.
The supplied model is the ALTA 433 MHz version and is listed with a standard dipole SMA antenna. Monnit identifies Australia as a 433 MHz regional option for this product family.
How it works
- The sensor is installed with its supplied magnetic trigger and mounting hardware.
- The magnetic arrangement detects a change in the monitored access point's position.
- When the magnetic state changes, the sensor reports the open or closed status wirelessly.
- The sensor can be used as part of a Monnit wireless monitoring system for remote status monitoring and notifications. Monnit describes open-closed sensors as suitable for monitoring access points such as doors and gates.
Why choose this product
- Industrial wireless design - suitable for applications where a rugged wireless status sensor is preferred.
- Remote status monitoring - allows open or closed conditions to be monitored without running a conventional signal cable back to a monitoring point.
- 433 MHz ALTA communication - the specified model uses Monnit's ALTA 433 MHz radio.
- Magnetic detection - provides a straightforward way to determine whether an access point has changed position.
- Supplied mounting components - the listed package includes the sensor, mounting hardware and sensor magnet with mounting flange.
Benefits
The sensor can help reduce the need for manual checks of doors, windows, cabinets and other monitored access points. It is particularly useful when the monitored location is remote, difficult to access or needs to be checked as part of a wider wireless monitoring system.
Monnit also describes open-closed sensors being used for monitoring doors and gates in agricultural facilities and for maintaining awareness of access conditions in greenhouses and other facilities.
