Detect & defend from water damage

The sensor detects when water is present by completing the circuit between the two wires at the end of the water detection lead. When the detection state changes the sensor will immediately turn on the RF radio and transmit the data to the wireless gateway and iMonnit Online Sensor Monitoring and Notification System, allowing the user to immediately receive an SMS text or email alert. The sensor can be set to go aware when the detection state changes, water is present, or water is absent. If the sensor sends an aware message, it can trigger the gateway to forward the data to iMonnit immediately, otherwise the data will be forwarded when the gateway talks to the server on its heartbeat or when triggered by another sensor. The sensor can be configured to detect both the presence and absences of water.


Protect your facility with early detection

Instant alerts from Monnit’s Water Detect Plus Sensors help defend against weather, faulty plumbing, and equipment failure. In addition to detection, the sensors monitor for water’s absence—helpful for sanitation and remediation.

Detect plus sensor employs a wall- or surface-mountable probe at the end of a 3’ lead to detect the water’s presence (or absence). The probe is often used in sanitation or process applications to detect levels in reservoirs or vats of non-combustible liquid. The Detect Plus probe helps minimize false alarms when mounted to compensate for expected variables, e.g., condensation.

This sensor come standard with two replaceable AA batteries. The typical battery life is approximately 10 years.

Monnit Gateway Options

An integral component of any IoT network is the gateway. A gateway device allows for data from sensors to be transmitted to the iMonnit software platform.


Monnit Ethernet Wireless Gateway 4

Monnit’s Ethernet Gateways allow your Monnit Wireless Sensors to communicate with the iMonnit™ Online Wireless Sensor Monitoring and Notification System without the need for a PC. Simply provide power and plug the gateway into an open Ethernet network port with an internet connection. It will then automatically connect with our online servers, providing the perfect solution for commercial locations where there is an active internet connection.

Monnit 4G + Ethernet IoT Gateway

The ALTA® by Monnit Wireless IoT Gateway combines a 4G LTE CAT-M1/NB2 cellular engine and Ethernet platform with Monnit’s wireless access point network to aggregate and communicate data from Monnit ALTA Wireless Sensors. The ALTA IoT Gateway allows ALTA Sensors to operate on the world’s leading cellular networks and stay connected to the Internet. The gateway uses AC main power but also has redundant power through a battery backup lasting up to 60 hours.

To meet the global demand for enterprise IoT deployment, the IoT Gateway communicates with the cloud-based iMonnit® monitoring software via cellular transmission, making it ideal for remote locations or where the Internet isn’t available. The RJ-45 Ethernet jack allows local device configuration, diagnostics, and connectivity backup. The IoT Gateway is instrumental in sending sensor notifications via text, email, or call if user-defined conditions are met or exceeded.
