Button Press Sensor Configuration and Installation Guide

Sensor Overview

The ALTA® Wireless Button Press Sensor sends a signal to iMonnit and, if configured, a message to email, text, and voice call when the button on the sensor is pressed.

This alert or notification is sent to the gateway, making the data available in iMonnit or another approved data service.

The sensor is ideal for a hotel front desk, retail outlet, service desk, restroom cleaning/service, hotel room service/clean request, etc.

Settings to Configure

The settings below are specific to the ALTA Button Press Sensor.

• Name—A unique name given to the sensor to easily identify it in many in-app views and notifications.
• Heartbeat Interval (Minutes)—The expected time between communication from the device to the gateway while in the Normal State and the absence of any data-triggering events.

Installation Steps

If this is your first time setting up your Monnit system, you must set up your iMonnit account and connect your ALTA Gateway to iMonnit before registering your sensor. See this article for steps to start: Creating an iMonnit account.

Step 1.

Remove the sensor from the package.

Step 2.

Register the sensor in iMonnit. Do not install the batteries until told to do so in iMonnit. Refer to this walk-through guide and configure the sensor’s Settings and Scale information in iMonnit for your specific application or use case.

Step 3.

Determine the sensor’s installation location. We recommend placing the sensor in the location and ensuring it reports to the gateway before final installation. See this article if you’re using an ALTA Site Survey Tool to perform a site survey to determine sensor installation location.

Step 4.

After ensuring that the sensor is communicating with the gateway, mount the sensor using the supplied screws or double-sided tape.
