Wettest. Winter. Ever.

Shelter your operations.

This winter, the Lower 48 states got 9.01 inches of rain and snow. Just this week, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) declared it the wettest winter on record. To give you some perspective on that precipitation, December, January, and February yielded 2.22 inches more than the 20th century normal—that’s almost 25% more rain and snow!

With all this moisture and the thaw imminent, you have a lot to be concerned about as a property owner or manager.

Preempt loss and downtime with detection that warns you when Mother Nature has invited herself in. Monnit has a full line of water sensors to warn you via text, email, or voice call when an H20 breech has occurred:

Water Detection Sensor	Detects water presence When water is present, the sensor will immediately trigger a user alert (which can be received via text, email or voice call). The sensor can be configured to detect both the presence and non-presence of water. Sample Applications Weather-related facility monitoring Water heater monitoring Plumbing leak detection Sump monitoring Boat bilge monitoring Reservoir level monitoring
Water Detection Rope Sensor	Detects the presence of water anywhere along the rope’s length When contact with a conductive liquid is detected, the sensor will immediately trigger a user alert (which can be received via text, email or voice call). The rope dries quickly allowing the sensor to reset for next use. Detection rope can be expanded up to 100 feet by simply clicking additional 10-foot sections of detection rope onto the end. Sample Applications Weather-related facility monitoring Data center and server room water monitoring Document retention center monitoring Basement water monitoring Plumbing leak detection Boat bilge monitoring Storage monitoring
Water Detection Puck Sensor	Detects water presence (water-tight design increases versatility) This puck-form sensor has the same capabilities as the Water Detection Sensor with a probe, but offers additional placement options because the transmitter is integrated in a water-tight enclosure. When water is present, the sensor will immediately trigger a user alert (which can be received via text, email or voice call). The sensor can be configured to detect both the presence and non-presence of water. Sample Applications Weather-related facility monitoring Water heater tank leak monitoring Plumbing leak detection Data center subfloor water detection Water intrusion/flood detection Crawl space water intrusion monitoring Reservoir/tank level monitoring
Humidity Sensor	Monitors relative humidity Returns relative humidity (RH) and temperature values and calculates dew point. All three data points are stored in iMonnit and can be reviewed or exported. Notifications can be set up through the online system to alert the user when defined thresholds have been met or exceeded. The sensor can also be used to control mold, mildew or dust mites. Sample Applications Weather-related facility monitoring General weather and environmental monitoring Greenhouse humidity monitoring Agriculture environmental monitoring Art gallery and museum environmental monitoring Humidor monitoring

Get a bird’s eye view—enlighten your analysis

A new graphical charting system is in the works that provides even greater accuracy and granular reporting. Users will be able to see multiple sensors' data on a single page within their dashboard overview. This will provide an at-a-glance view of multiple sensors and allow comparisons between dynamic data from multiple sensors.

And this is just the start.

Monnit’s unique new interface will allow up to seven days’ worth of data for various sensor data types. This multi-faceted reporting provides a new and simple way to track complex problems in any industry.

Good vibes are coming your way

We’re letting you in on a little secret that’s about to become big news: Our advanced vibration meter release is imminent.

This turnkey sensor is engineered for a variety of diverse installations ranging from manufacturing machine health to those for the greater good, like seismic activity and civil infrastructure monitoring.

With a three-axis measuring system, the sensor uses an accelerometer to gauge g-force and determine vibration acceleration or acceleration peak, velocity, and displacement.

A single capture garners 250+ acceleration data points and generates vibration data based on a configurable measurement range. The most recent data points are then reported in each sensor heartbeat.

Sensor highlights include:

• Multiple mounting options
• A measurement range as short as 1 second
• Available with or without a lead
• Runtime indication by duty cycle

Prevent water intrusion with Monnit

Everything is running smoothly until you see the ceiling start to sag or the floor bubble up. Water intrusion can start gradually and go unnoticed, but left unchecked it is one of the ultimate destructors.

Even the smallest amount of water can ruin property and seep into walls and flooring—damaging structures and assets. There are numerous sources for water intrusion, and in the wake of the wettest winter on record, the effects of harsh weather and the winter thaw can cause many costly issues.

The most common sources of water intrusion include:

• Roof leaks (both from roof age and weather damage)
• Plumbing leaks or pipe breaks in cold weather
• Sewer line backups
• Flood waters from outside the building
• Intrusion of moisture originating within the building

Monnit provides a reliable and feature-rich wireless monitoring solution—the product of a decade of IoT development. You can rest assured knowing you will receive an immediate notification of water presence or other signs that water intrusion is imminent. Here are some popular drop-in solutions that could save you from costly losses and downtime.

Water Detection Sensors	Detect water presence
Water Detection Rope Sensors	Detect the presence of water anywhere along the rope’s length
Water Detection Puck Sensors	Detect water presence (convenient water-tight design increases versatility)
Voltage Detection Sensors	Can detect if a sump pump is triggered

All Monnit wireless sensors include basic online monitoring and apps for Android and iOS—see your sensor info anytime, anywhere. Receive instant notifications via email, voice, or text if the conditions you have set are met or exceeded.

Monnit Standard, ALTA, and Wi-Fi: Choosing from a Trio of Remote Monitoring Solutions
