I. ABOUT THE WIRELESS WATER ROPE SENSOR The ALTA Wireless Water Rope Sensor detects the presence of water anywhere along the surface of the rope. Sensor comes with 10 feet of water rope. Additional 10 ft sections are available and can be connected up to 100 feet.
II. SENSOR SECURITY The ALTA Wireless Water Rope Sensor has been designed and built to securely manage data from sensors monitoring your environment and equipment. Hacking from botnets are in the headlines, Monnit Corporation has taken extreme measures to ensure your data security is handled with the utmost care and attention to detail.
III. ORDER OF OPERATIONS It is important to understand the order of operations for activating your ALTA Water Rope Sensor. If done out of place, your meter may have trouble communicating with iMonnit. Please consult the steps below to make sure you are performing your setup correctly. SET UP STEPS 1.
If you have already created an account, start by logging in. For instructions on how to register for an iMonnit account, please consult the iMonnit User Guide viewable at monnit.com/support/documentation. REGISTERING THE WATER ROPE SENSOR You will need to enter the Device ID and the Security Code from your Water Rope Sensor in the corresponding text boxes.
INSTALLING BATTERIES ALTA commercial sensors are powered by AA or CR2032 coin cell 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. Coin Cell The lifespan of a standard CR2032 coin cell battery in an ALTA Water Rope Sensor is 3+ years.

Industrial Batteries 3.6V Lithium batteries for the Industrial Wireless Water Rope Sensor is supplied by Monnit. The ALTA battery life for the Industrial battery is 10 – 12 years. The Industrial sensor does not need to have batteries installed. The batteries are already in the sensors when they are shipped.
ANTENNA ORIENTATION In order to get the best performance out of your ALTA Wireless Sensors, it is important to note proper antenna orientation and sensor positioning. Antennas should all be oriented in the same direction, pointing vertically from the sensor. If the sensor is mounted flat on its back on a horizontal surface, you should bend the antenna as close to the sensor housing as possible giving you the most amount of antenna pointing vertical.

State The integer presented here is generated from a single byte of stored data. A byte consists of 8 bits of data that we read as Boolean (True (1)/False (0)) fields. Using a temperature sensor as an example. If the sensor is using factory calibrations the Calibrate Active field is set True (1) so the bit values are 00010000 and it is represented as 16.

Canada (IC) English Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an anten- na of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power (E.I.R.P.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
