Monnit Wireless Sensors and Cellular Gateway User’s Guide For Cellular Gateway Models CGW2 & CGW3 Use With iMonnit Online Software MonnitLink™ Cellular Gateway Quick Start • Create an iMonnit user account and assign wireless gateway and sensors. • Plug the power supply into a power outlet then connect to the gateway. • Turn the power switch on (battery backup models only). • Once all three lights turn green, your network is ready to bring sensors online.
1. Create a Monnit User Account and Setup Sensor Network If this is your first time using the iMonnit online system site, you will need to create a new account. If you have already created an account you can skip to the “Logging into the Online System” section. The following instructions will guide you through the account creation process. 1. In a web browser, navigate to https://www.imonnit.com. 2. Click the “Get Started Here” button to create an account. 3.
7. Confirmation Screen. When you have finished adding the sensor, you will see a confirmation screen. At this point you can assign notifications to the sensor (see Using The iMonnit™ Online Wireless Sensor System) , assign additional sensors to your account or click “Done” to go to your sensors overview page. 2. Using the MonnitLink CGW2 / CGW3 Cellular Gateway 1. Using the MonnitLink Cellular Gateway • Attach the Antenna’s to the gateway (Sensor RF antenna on left, Cellular on right).
On Bootup: The cell light begins flashing red. The flashing switches to green and finally lands on a solid green when the link to the cell network is established. Next, the middle light flashes green and then lands on solid green when the link to the server is established. The wireless sensor light turns green indicating the gateway is ready to listen to sensor traffic. During Operation: All lights are solid green. Activity from a sensor will cause the wireless sensor light to flash instantly.
3. Using Your Monnit Wireless Sensors Insert Batteries Into Wireless Sensors Important: Make sure your sensors are at least 3ft. away from Ethernet Gateway. Peel back the black sticker cover of the battery slot and slide the coin cell battery into the sensor as shown in fig.1. It will power on within 10-20 seconds. Once online, your sensor is ready to be deployed. If you wish to change a sensor configuration, change the parameter in the software.
4. Using The iMonnit™ Online Wireless Sensor System 1. Understanding The Online Interface When you log into the online system, the default view shows all of your sensors last recorded data. Menu System View / Sort Features Date Range Selector Sensors Overview Sensor Details View Menu System Overview Notifications Manage Reports Sensor Maps Support - Shows all sensors in the account and their last readings. - Manage sensor notifications and show all sent notifications.
To the left side of each sensor row is an indicator to help you understand the current status of the sensor. Sensor is checking in and within user defined safe parameters. Sensor has met or exceeded a user defined threshold or triggered event. Sensor has not checked in (inactivity alert sent). No sensor readings will be recorded (Inactive) Sensor Details View Clicking on a sensor row on the “Overview” page expands the row to include a detailed sensor view for the selected sensor.
3. Configuring Sensor Settings To edit a sensors operation settings, click on the sensor overview row to display the details view. Click on the “Edit” tab to access the sensor configuration panel. The sensor edit panel allows you to set the primary configurations for the sensor. Mousing over the question mark icon by each setting will provide an explanation of that setting. When you have finished making changes, press the “Save” button at the bottom of this section.
4. Sensor and/or Gateway Notification(s). Notifications for a single sensor can be created, deleted or edited by clicking the “Notifications” tab in a sensor’s detail view. Notifications can be created, deleted or edited for any sensor or group of sensors by clicking on “Notifications” in the main menu. Toggle On/Off Click to Open Detail View Send Test Edit Delete When creating a notification, you will need to select the type of notification to create.
• Advanced Notifications - Allows the user to set notifications based on advanced rules, such as comparing past data points with the current one to determine if a notification should be sent. • Existing Notifications - Use notifications that have already been created on your account with the selected sensor.
Devices to Notify If you have a Monnit Control or Notifier A/V device on your network, you will also see a “Devices to Notify” tab. This will allow the notification to interact with these types of devices. Select a device from the list on the left and click the arrow button to add it to the recipient list. Clicking the control icon toggles their setting. Note: Control devices have two relays per device that are controlled separately. You can turn a relay on, off or toggle the state.
6. Calibrating Sensor Data Certain wireless sensors can be calibrated for more accurate readings (ex. temperature sensors). If calibration is possible for a sensor, the “Calibrate” tab will be visible in the detail view. To calibrate a sensor, replace the last reading with the more accurate reading and click “Calibrate”. All future readings from the sensor will be based off the new calibration setting. 7.
Antenna Orientation In order to get the best performance out of your Monnit Wireless Sensors and Gateways, it is important to note proper antenna orientation and sensor positioning. Antennas should all be oriented in the same direction, pointing vertically out of the sensor or gateway. If the device is mounted flat on a horizontal surface, you should bend the antenna so that it is pointing vertical.

United States FCC - Continued To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication (listed below). The system antenna(s) used for the following transmitters must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all the persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Canada (IC) 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.
