Monnit Wireless Hardware
Monnit wireless sensor networks consist of MonnitLink™
Wireless Gateways, Monnit WIT™ Wireless Sensors and
Monnit Sensor Monitoring Software such as iMonnit™ On-
line, Monnit Express™ PC Software and Monnit Enterprise™
Server Software.
The simplest way to get started with Monnit wireless sensors
is to select either a USB or Ethernet version of the gateway
and monitor your sensors online through the iMonnit Online
SensorMonitoringandNoticationSystem.
MonnitLink USB Gateways require the use of a personal
computerrunningwindowsXPorlaterandrequiresthatthe
computer remain running and connected to the internet in
able for the sensors to communicate to the online system. A
MonnitLink Ethernet Gateway is a standalone unit that oper-
ates continuously without the need for a computer and only
requires an Ethernet connection with access to the Internet.

Advanced Sensor Setting Denitions
Inactivity Alert (Minutes)
The amount of time that elapses without a heartbeat before you are noti-
ed.Thedefaultis3timesthesetheartbeatinterval.
Active Between
The time of day the sensor is actively working. No communication will be
sent while sensor is hibernating.
Assessments per Heartbeat
How many times between heartbeats a sensor will check its measure-
ments against its thresholds to determine whether it will enter the aware
state.
Minimum Threshold
Any assessments below this value will cause the sensor to enter the
aware state.
Maximum Threshold
Any assessments above this value will cause the sensor to enter the
ware state.
Hysteresis
A buffer to prevent the sensor from bouncing between standard operation
and the aware state when the assessments are very close to a threshold.
For example, if a maximum threshold is set to 90° and the hysteresis is
set to 1°, when a sensor takes an assessment of 90.0° and enters the
aware state it will remain in the aware state until the temperature reading
drops to 89.0°. Similarly, at the minimum threshold the temperature will
have to rise 1° above the threshold to return to standard operation.
Transmission Offset
In large sensor networks, offset is used to prevent all sensors from trans-
mitting simultaneously; therefore minimizing communication disruption.
Aware State Heartbeat
How often the sensor communicates with the gateway while in the aware
state.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
devices, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Warning: Changes or modications not expressly approved by Monnit could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
RF Exposure
FCC ID: ZTL-RFSC1
This device has been designed to operate with an approved antenna listed below, and

English
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an
antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry
Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more
than that necessary for successful communication.
This radio transmitter (IC: 9794A-RFSC1 and IC: 9794A-RFUSB1) has been approved by
Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permis-
sible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types
not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type,
are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour
l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélec-
trique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de
sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité
nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante.
Le présent émetteur radio (IC: 9794A-RFSC1 et IC: 9794A-RFUSB1) a été approuvé par
Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d’antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant
un gain admissible maximal et l’impédance requise pour chaque type d’antenne. Les types
d’antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indi-
qué, sont strictement interdits pour l’exploitation de l’émetteur.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils
radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1)
l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter
tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, méme si le brouillage est susceptible d’en comprom-
ettre le fonctionnement.
