Industrial Batteries
3.6V Lithium batteries for the Industrial Wireless 150 Amp AC
Current Meter is supplied by Monnit. The ALTA battery life for
the Industrial battery is 10 – 12 years.
Install the battery by taking the sensor and unscrewing the
four screws at the corners. Tuck-in a fresh battery in the
carriage, then adjust clips to hold the battery in place.
Open iMonnit and select Sensors from the main navigation
menu. Verify that iMonnit is showing the sensor has a full
battery level. Replace the battery door by screwing in the
four corners.
In order for the meter to function properly, you will need to attach the included antenna.
Simply screw the antenna onto the barrel connector on the top of the device. Make sure
to snug the antenna connection, but do not over tighten. When placing the meter, make
sure to mount the sensor with the antenna oriented straight up (vertical) to ensure the best
wireless radio signal.
Since the electronics are sealed within the meter housing, we have added an "On/O"
switch to the unit for your convenience. If you are not using the meter, simply leave the
button in the o position to preserve battery life. If the meter needs to be reset for any
reason, you can simply cycle the power by turning the switch to the "O" position and
waiting 30 seconds before powering back on.

ANTENNA ORIENTATION
In order to get the best performance out of your ALTA Wireless Current Meter, it is important
to note proper antenna orientation and sensor positioning. Antennas should all be oriented
in the same direction, pointing vertically from the sensor. If the sensor is mounted at on its
back on a horizontal surface, you should bend the antenna as close to the sensor housing
as possible giving you the most amount of antenna pointing vertical. You should make the
antenna wire as straight as possible, avoiding any kinks and curving of the wire. Sensors
must be at least 3 ft. away from other sensors and the wireless gateway to function.
