MONNIT Wireless Air Velocity Speed Sensor with Battery Backup
MONNIT Wireless Air Velocity Speed Sensor with Battery Backup is a wireless air velocity/speed sensor designed to monitor airflow in HVAC and other ventilation systems. It determines air velocity by measuring the pressure difference between two ports while accounting for temperature and altitude. The 433 MHz wireless model uses line power with battery backup and communicates measurements wirelessly for remote monitoring. It can help maintenance and facilities teams track airflow conditions and identify changes that may require attention.
The MONNIT Wireless Air Velocity Speed Sensor with Battery Backup provides wireless monitoring of air movement within ventilation and HVAC systems. Rather than measuring airflow speed directly, the sensor uses the pressure difference between two ports and combines this measurement with temperature and altitude information to determine air velocity.
The sensor is configured for 433 MHz ALTA wireless communication and uses line power with battery backup. The supplied Monnit page identifies the enclosure as the Monnit Standard AA Enclosure and states that mounting hardware is included.
How it works
- The sensor measures the pressure difference between its two input ports.
- It accounts for ambient temperature and altitude when determining air velocity.
- The calculated air velocity is transmitted wirelessly through the ALTA system.
- Measurements can then be used for remote monitoring and condition tracking through a compatible Monnit gateway and monitoring system.
Why choose this product
- Wireless airflow monitoring - Reduces the need for a wired connection between the sensor and monitoring infrastructure.
- Pressure-based air velocity measurement - Uses differential pressure together with temperature and altitude information to determine air movement.
- Line power with battery backup - Provides a power arrangement suited to installations where continuous operation is important.
- 433 MHz ALTA communication - The specified frequency is suitable for the Australia region listed by Monnit.
- Remote condition monitoring - Airflow measurements can be incorporated into a wider Monnit monitoring setup.
Benefits
The sensor can help maintenance teams identify changes in airflow without requiring regular manual checks at the measurement point. Monitoring airflow trends can also support HVAC maintenance by highlighting conditions that may warrant inspection, such as changes in ventilation performance or filter condition.
