Wireless Dry Contact Sensor

The ALTA Wireless Dry Contact Sensor detects when there is contact between the two wired end points. It can
easily be integrated into existing switches or contact plates. When the sensor detects contact between the two
end points a wireless communication is immediately sent to the gateway.

The gateway will immediately attempt to securely send the message to iMonnit, or other approved data services.

Lose Contact? Know Instantly.

ALTA® Wireless and Next™ Wi-Fi Single-Input Dry Contact Sensors provide real-time monitoring of contact points, ensuring that you know immediately when a connection is made or broken.

Smart Monitoring for Any Industry

Designed for flexibility, these sensors can be used in various applications, including:

  • Monitoring production line operations
  • Tracking forklift seat occupancy
  • Alerting you if a gate, door, or freezer is left open
  • Monitoring any system with mechanical switches, relays, or contact plates

With options including Wi-Fi, Power over Ethernet (PoE), Intrinsically Safe IECEx-certified, and ALTA Wireless, these sensors support enterprise, and industrial applications.


How Dry Contact Sensors Work

Within 15 minutes, these sensors can be configured, mounted, and wired to your monitoring points. Once active, they send instant alerts via email, text, or phone call if a connection is broken or made unexpectedly.

These sensors bring remote intelligence to your equipment, helping you track:

  • Valves opening and closing
  • Backup generators powering up
  • Propane tank levels fluctuating
  • Mechanical actuation and product volume

⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNING: When using ALTA Dry Contact Sensors, avoid connecting external AC or DC voltages, as this will damage the sensor’s electronics. Monnit is not responsible for damages due to improper use.
