Principle of Operation

Monnit Differential Pressure Sensor measures the pressure difference between two ports. When viewing the sensor from the top, the right inlet port is the positive or high side pressure input. When the pressure on this port is greater than the left port the sensor produces a positive pressure reading. When the pressure is greater on the left port the sensor produces a negative pressure reading.



Example Interfacing

  • Building/Room Pressure
  • Air Flow
  • Variable Air Volume Filter Status
  • Duct Pressure
  • Clean Rooms
  • Hospitals
  • Fume Hoods
  • Computer Rooms



Features of Monnit ALTA Sensors

  • Wireless range of 1,200+ feet through 12+ 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)
  • Datalogs 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 (future proof)
  • Free iMonnit basic online wireless sensor monitoring and notification system to configure sensors, view data and set alerts via SMS text and email Wireless Range Comparison

*Actual range may vary depending on environment.

**Battery life is determined by sensor reporting frequency and other variables. Other power options are also available.
