Counts pulses & sends real time alerts via SMS text or email

The Monnit Enterprise Pulse counter is ideal for typical commercial and enterprise environments. It can be connected to the pulse output of a system (water meter, power met, etc.) to count the number if actuations within a given time frame or aggregate pulses in an ongoing accumulation. The device is capable of counting passive (open/closed switch) and active (up to +15 VDC) pulses and can count the positive edge, negative edge or both edges of a pulse.

The counter includes 3 software configurable low pass filter settings (No filter, 40 Hz filter, or 4 Hz filter) and can filter pulses with pulse widths greater than those designated in the technical specifications. For example, if the 4Hz filter is set, the pulse counter will count a pulse if its width is longer than 250 ms, if its width is shorter than 250 ms it will be completely or partially filtered.

The sensor can be programmed to send an alert through the iMonnit Online Sensor Monitoring and Notification System when a given number of pulses have been reached within a set time frame. These alerts from the iMonnit system are sent in real time via SMS text or email.

The pulse counter comes standard with two replaceable 1.5V AA batteries. It is also available with a line power option¹. This option includes a barrel power connector allowing it to be powered by a standard 3.0-3.6V power supply and uses two standard 1.5V AA batteries as backup for uninterrupted operation in the event of line power outage.

IMPORTANT - Sensor Operation

Please note: this sensor requires both an applicable Gateway and iMonnit software to operate. For further information, please refer to the tabs above or related products below.

¹This option must be selected at time of purchase as the internal hardware of the sensor must be changed to support the selected power requirements by the manufacturer.

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.
