I. ABOUT THE WIRELESSS 150 AMP AC CURRENT METER
The ALTA wireless AC Current Meter measures the RMS current of an alternating current
(AC) system using a current transformer (CT) that wraps around the “hot” wire of a two wire
(hot, common, ground(optional)) power system. The sensor reports Minimum RMS current,
maximum RMS current, average RMS current, and amp hours to the iMonnit system. The
iMonnit system is capable of generating watt hour or kilowatt hour readings as well.

EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS
• Current Monitoring
• Current Usage
• Amperage Monitoring
• Amp Hour Meter
• Measures amp hours, max RMS current, min RMS current, and average RMS current
• Two di󰀨erent current transducers available:
• Low Current: 0-20 amp
• High Current: 0-150 amp
• Capable of generating watt hour or kilowatt hour readings using iMonnit
• Data logging for accumulated amp hour readings
• Can notify based on current levels or changes in current levels
• Simple and safe installation of current/power
measurement hardware, no rewiring required
To measure current, clip the CT around only a single wire of the AC system (clipping around
a hot and neutral wire at the same time will result in 0 current readings). After the sensor
powers on and connects to the gateway it will begin taking measurements based on the
averaging interval (5 seconds default). It will report data to iMonnit every heartbeat or if the
current goes outside of the aware thresholds set in iMonnit. The sensor reports amp hours,
max RMS current, min RMS current, and average RMS current. iMonnit can also generate
watt hour or kilowatt hour readings if a default RMS voltage is set in iMonnit.

iMONNIT SECURITY
iMonnit is the online software and central hub for conguring your device settings. All
data is secured on dedicated servers operating Microsoft SQL Server. Access is granted
through the iMonnit user interface, or an Application Programming Interface (API)
safeguarded by 256-bit Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.2) encryption. TLS is blanket of
protection to encrypt all data exchanged between iMonnit and you. The same encryption
is available to you whether you are a Basic user of Premiere user of iMonnit. You can rest
assured that your data is safe with iMonnit.

II. CURRENT METER SECURITY
The ALTA Wireless 150 Amp AC Current Meter has been designed and built to securely man-
age 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. The same methods utilized by
nancial institutions to transmit data are also used in Monnit security infrastructure. Security
features of the gateway include tamper proof network interfaces, data encryption, and bank-
grade security.
Monnit’s proprietary sensor protocol uses low transmit power and specialized radio
equipment to transmit application data. Wireless devices listening on open communication
protocols cannot eavesdrop on sensors. Packet level encryption and verication is key
to ensuring tra󰀩c isn’t altered between sensors and gateways. Paired with best-in-class
range and power consumption protocol, all data is transmitted securely from your devices.
Thereby ensuring a smooth, worry-free, experience.
CURRENT METER COMMUNICATION SECURITY
Monnit current meter to gateway secure wireless tunnel is generated using ECDH-256
(Elliptic Curve Di󰀩e-Hellman) public key exchange to generate a unique symmetric key
between each pair of devices. Meters and gateways use this link specic key to process
packet level data with hardware accelerated 128-bit AES encryption which minimizes
power consumption to provide industry best battery life. Thanks to this combination,
Monnit proudly o󰀨ers robust bank-grade security at every level.
DATA SECURITY ON THE GATEWAY
The ALTA gateways are designed to prevent prying eyes from accessing the data that is
stored on the sensors. Gateways do not run on an o󰀨 the shelf multi-function OS (operating
system). Instead they run a purpose specic real-time embedded state machine that cannot
be hacked to run malicious processes. There are also no active interface listeners that
can be used to gain access to the device over the network. The fortied gateway secures
your data from attackers and secures the gateway from becoming a relay for malicious
programs.

be found on the barcode label of your gateway.
When completed, select the “Submit” button.

IV. SETTING UP YOUR 150 AMP AC CURRENT METER
INSTALLING BATTERIES
ALTA commercial current meters are powered by AA 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.
When you are nished adding the sensor to your account, the next step is to insert the
battery. The type of battery you use will depend on the category of your sensor. ALTA
Wireless 150 Amp AC Current Meter will either be powered by commecial coin cell, AA, or
an industrial battery.
AA Batteries
The standard version of this current meter is powered by
two replaceable 1.5 V AA sized batteries (included with
purchase). The typical battery life is 10 -12 years.
This current meter is also available with a line power
option. The line powered version of this meter has a
barrel power connector allowing it to be powered by
a standard 3.0–3.6 V power supply. The line powered
version also uses two standard 1.5 V AA batteries as
backup for uninterrupted operation in the event of line
power outage.
Power options must be selected at time of purchase,
as the internal hardware of the meter must be changed to support the selected power
requirements.
Place batteries in the device by rst taking the meter and sliding the battery door open.
Insert fresh AA batteries in the carriage, then shut the battery door.
Complete the process by opening up iMonnit and selecting Sensors from the main
navigation menu. Verify that iMonnit is showing the meter has a full battery level.
PAGE 4

Industrial Batteries
3.6V Lithium batteries for the Industrial Wireless 150 Amp AC
Current Meter is supplied by Monnit. The ALTA battery life for
the Industrial battery is 10 – 12 years.
Install the battery by taking the sensor and unscrewing the
four screws at the corners. Tuck-in a fresh battery in the
carriage, then adjust clips to hold the battery in place.
Open iMonnit and select Sensors from the main navigation
menu. Verify that iMonnit is showing the sensor has a full
battery level. Replace the battery door by screwing in the
four corners.
In order for the meter to function properly, you will need to attach the included antenna.
Simply screw the antenna onto the barrel connector on the top of the device. Make sure
to snug the antenna connection, but do not over tighten. When placing the meter, make
sure to mount the sensor with the antenna oriented straight up (vertical) to ensure the best
wireless radio signal.
Since the electronics are sealed within the meter housing, we have added an "On/O󰀨"
switch to the unit for your convenience. If you are not using the meter, simply leave the
button in the o󰀨 position to preserve battery life. If the meter needs to be reset for any
reason, you can simply cycle the power by turning the switch to the "O󰀨" position and
waiting 30 seconds before powering back on.
PAGE 5
ANTENNA ORIENTATION
In order to get the best performance out of your ALTA Wireless Current Meter, 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 at 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. You should make the
antenna wire as straight as possible, avoiding any kinks and curving of the wire. Sensors
must be at least 3 ft. away from other sensors and the wireless gateway to function.

History View
Selecting the “History” tab within the tab bar allows you to view the meter’s data history as
time stamped data.
• On the far right of the meter history data is a cloud icon. Selecting this icon will
export an excel le for your sensor into your download folder.
Note: Make sure you have the date range for the data you need input in the “From” and “To” text boxes. This will be
the most recent week by default. Only the rst 2,500 entries in the selected date range will be exported.
The data le will have the following elds:
MessageID: Unique identier of the message in our database.
SensorID: If multiple meters or sensors are exported you can distinguish which reading
was from which using this number even if the names for some reason are the same.
Sensor Name: The name you have given the meter.
Date: The date the message was transmitted from the meter.
Value: Data presented with transformations applied but without additional labels.
Formatted Value: Data transformed and presented as it is shown in the monitoring portal.
Battery: Estimated life remaining of the battery.
Raw Data: Raw data as it is stored from the sensor.
Sensor State: Binary eld represented as an integer containing information about the state
or the meter when the message was transmitted. (See “Sensor State Explained” below).
Gateway ID: The Identier of the gateway that relayed the data from the meter.
Alert Sent: Boolean indicating if this reading triggered a notication to be sent from the
system.
Signal Strength: Strength of communication signal between the meter and the gateway,
shown as percentage value.
PAGE 7

Voltage: Actual voltage measured at the meter battery used to calculate battery percentage,
similar to Received Signal you can use one or the other or both if they help you.
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)) elds.
Using a temperature sensor as an example.
If the sensor is using factory calibrations the Calibrate Active eld is set True (1) so the bit
values are 00010000 and it is represented as 16.
If the sensor is outside the Min or Max threshold, the Aware State is set True (1) so the bit
values are 00000010 and it is represented as 2.
If the customer has calibrated the sensor this eld the Calibrate Active eld is set False
(0) AND the sensor is operating inside the Min and Max Thresholds, the bits look like
00000000 this is represented as 0.
If the sensor is using factory calibrations and it is outside the threshold the bit values are
00010010 and it is represented as 18 (16 + 2 because both the bit in the 16 value is set
and the bit in the 2 value is set).
Note: These two are the only bits that typically observed outside of our testing procedures.

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 conguration page.
A. Sensor Name is a unique name you
give the meter to easily identify it in a list
and in any notications.
B. The Heartbeat Interval is how often
the meter communicates with the gateway
if no activity is recorded.
C. Aware State Heartbeat is how often
the meter communicates with the gateway
while in an Aware State.
D. Sensor is on is the time of day the
sensor is actively working. No signal
communication will be sent while meter is
hibernating.
E. Minimum Threshold is the lowest
amp threshold allowable. Assessments
below this value will cause the sensor to
enter the Aware State.
F. Maximum Threshold is the highest
reading the meter should record before
entering an Aware State.
G. The Aware State Bu󰀨er is a bu󰀨er
to prevent the sensor from bouncing
between Standard Operation and Aware
State when the assessments are very
close to a threshold.
H. Averaging Interval is the average time in seconds when data is reported to iMonnit on
every heartbeat.
I. Accumulate will accumulate the readings heartbeat after heartbeat. Accumulation rolls
over at 65535 (2^16 or 0xFFFF).
J. Show Full Data Value when on, will not cut o󰀨 data value and show the full reading.
K. In small sensor networks the sensors can be set to synchronize their communications.
The default setting o󰀨 allows the sensors to randomize their communications therefore
maximizing communication robustness. Setting this will synchronize the communication of
the sensors.
L. Failed transmissions before link mode is the number of transmissions the sensor
sends without response from a gateway before it goes to battery saving link mode. In link
mode, The sensor will scan and Join a gateway at the following intervals: @ 0 Seconds, 3
sec, 6 sec, 9 sec, 15 sec, 30 sec, 1 min, 2 min, 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, and 60 min, then 60
minutes thereafter. While attempting to link, the sensor will continue to measure. A lower
number will allow sensors to nd new gateways with fewer missed readings. High numbers
will enable the sensor to remain with its current gateway in a noisy RF environment better.
PAGE 9

The default heartbeat interval is 120 minutes or two hours. It is recommended that you do
not lower your heartbeat level too much because it will drain the battery.
Finish by selecting the “Save” button.
Note: Be sure to select the “Save” button anytime you make a change to any of the sensor parameters. All
changes made to the sensor settings will be downloaded to the sensor on the next sensor heartbeat (check-
in). Once a change has been made and saved, you will not be able to edit that sensor’s conguration again
until it has downloaded the new setting.
Calibrate View
To calibrate a meter, you will want to ensure that the environment of the meter and other
calibration device is stable. Note the “Expected Next Check-in” time for the sensor you are
calibrating and take a reading from your calibration device a few minutes prior to the next
check-in.
Enter the actual (accurate) reading from the calibration device into the text elds for
“Observed Sensor Reading” and “Actual Input”.
Press “Calibrate”.
When the meter checks-in, it will send the pre-calibration reading to the gateway, then
receive the calibration command and update it’s conguration. When the process is
completed, it will send a “Calibration Successful” message. The server will display the
sensor’s last pre-calibrated reading for this check-in, then all future readings from the
sensor will be based on the new calibration setting.
It is important to note that after calibrating the sensor, the sensor reading returned to the
server is based on pre-calibration settings. The new calibration settings will take e󰀨ect on
the next sensor heartbeat.
Note: If you would like to send the changes to the sensor right away, please remove the battery(s) for a full 60
seconds, then re-insert the battery(s). This forces the communication from the sensor to the gateway and this the
message to make a change from the gateway back to the sensor. (If the sensors are industrial sensors, turn the
sensor o󰀨 for a full minute, rather than removing the battery).
If the meter readings need to be reset, the “Calibrate” tab will be available for selection in
the tab bar.
