MONNIT IECEx Wireless Temperature Sensor
MONNIT IECEx Wireless Temperature Sensor is an ALTA wireless temperature sensor with a 3-foot external probe for remote temperature monitoring. It is suitable for industrial equipment, facilities, storage environments and other applications requiring continuous temperature visibility. Key features include 433 MHz wireless communication, -40°Celcius to +125°Celcius measurement range, ±1°Celcius accuracy, waterproof probe and IECEx-certified configuration.
MONNIT IECEx Wireless Temperature Sensor
The MONNIT IECEx Wireless Temperature Sensor is an ALTA Wireless Temperature Sensor equipped with a 3 ft (0.91 m) external temperature probe. It is part of Monnit's IECEx-certified ALTA temperature sensor configuration. The model designation identifies the 433 MHz version, making it the appropriate frequency variant for Australian deployments.
The external probe allows the sensing point to be positioned away from the main wireless sensor enclosure. The probe is specified as 316 stainless steel, with a waterproof construction suitable for temperature monitoring applications where the sensing element needs to be positioned at a particular location.
The sensor uses an NTC thermistor to measure temperature and wirelessly transmits readings to a compatible Monnit gateway. Monnit's ALTA temperature sensors can provide configurable reporting and alerting, allowing users to monitor temperature conditions remotely.
How Does It Work?
- The external probe detects the temperature at the measurement point.
- The thermistor converts the temperature condition into an electrical signal.
- The sensor processes the measurement and records the temperature value.
- The ALTA wireless system transmits the data to a compatible gateway.
- The monitoring platform can display readings and generate alerts based on configured temperature limits.
The sensor also provides local data storage when gateway communication is temporarily unavailable. Monnit documentation indicates that ALTA temperature sensors can retain thousands of readings in non-volatile memory, depending on the reporting interval.
Why Choose this Product?
- 433 MHz Australian configuration — suitable for the Australian ALTA frequency option.
- 3-foot external probe — provides flexibility when the temperature measurement point is away from the sensor enclosure.
- Wide temperature range — supports measurements from -40°Celcius to +125°Celcius.
- ±1°Celcius accuracy — suitable for general temperature monitoring requirements.
- Waterproof probe — useful where the sensing element may encounter moisture or demanding environmental conditions.
- 316 stainless-steel probe — provides a robust sensing element for industrial applications.
- Wireless operation — avoids the need for a dedicated data cable between the sensor and gateway.
