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.
