    I. ABOUT THE WIRELESSS CO SENSOR The ALTA Wireless Carbon Dioxide (CO ) Sensor measures the amount of CO in the ambient air surrounding the element. It is programmed to take readings at a set interval to accurately calculate CO levels, then send the time-stamped data to the iMonnit Online Sensor Monitoring and Notification System at user-specified time intervals (sensor heartbeat).

    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.

    VI. SENSOR OVERVIEW Select Sensors from the main navigation menu on iMonnit to access the sensor overview page and begin making adjustments to your CO Sensors. MENU SYSTEM Details - Displays a graph of recent sensor data. Readings - List of all past heartbeats and readings. Actions - List of all actions attached to this sensor.
  • Page 10 Readings View Selecting the “Readings” tab within the tab bar allows you to view the sensor’s data history as time stamped data. • On the far right of the sensor history data is a cloud icon. Selecting this icon will export an excel file for your sensor into your download folder.
  • Page 11 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.
  • Page 12 Settings View To edit the operational settings for a sensor, choose the “Sensor” option in the main navigation menu then select the “Settings” tab to access the configuration page. A. Sensor Name is a unique name you give the sensor to easily identify it in a list and in any notifications.
  • Page 13 Calibrate View If a sensor type has readings that need to be reset, the “Calibrate” tab will be available for selection in the sensor tab bar. There are three steps to calibrating your CO sensor. They must performed in order: 1.
  • Page 14 Creating a Calibration Certificate Directly below the calibrate button is the selection to "Create Calibration Certificate.” Creating a sensor calibration certificate will mask the calibration tab from those who should not have permissions to adjust these settings. Permissions for self-certifying a calibration must be enabled in user permissions.

  • Page 18 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.
