REGISTERING THE OPEN/CLOSED SENSOR

You will need to enter the Device ID and the Security Code from your Open/Closed 

Sensor in the corresponding text boxes.

 

Use the camera on your smartphone to scan the 

QR code on your sensor and gateway. If you do not have a camera on your phone, or the 

system is not accepting the QR code, you may enter the Device ID and Security Code 

manually. 

• 

The Device ID is a unique number located on each device label. 

• 

Next you’ll be asked to enter the Security Code (SC) on your device. A security 

code will be all letters and must be entered in upper case, no numbers. It can 

also be found on the barcode label of your gateway. 

When completed, select the “Submit” button.

V. SETTING UP YOUR OPEN/CLOSED SENSOR

INSTALLING BATTERIES

Monnit commercial sensors are powered by AA or CR2032 coin cell batteries. Industrial 

sensors need a 3.6V Lithium battery supplied from Monnit or another industrial battery 

supplier. Monnit encourages customers to recycle all old batteries.

When you are finished adding the sensor to your account, the next step is to insert the 

battery. The type of battery you use will depend on the category of your sensor. Wireless 

Open/Closed Sensors will either be powered by commecial coin cell, AA, or an industrial 

battery.

CR2032 BATTERY

Install a coin cell battery by first taking the sensor and pinching the 

sides of the enclosure. Gently pull up the enclosure, separating the 

sensor from its base. Then slide a new CR2032 coin cell battery with the 

positive side facing toward the base. Press the the enclosure back to 

together; you’ll hear a small click. 

Lastly, open iMonnit select 

Sensors

 from the navigation menu. Verify 

that iMonnit is showing the sensor has a full battery level. 

AA Batteries

The standard version of this sensor is powered by two 

replaceable 1.5 V AA sized batteries (included with 

purchase). The typical battery life is 10 -12 years. 

This sensor is also available with a line power option. 

The line powered version of this sensor has a barrel 

power connector allowing it to be powered by a standard 

3.0–3.6 V power supply. The line powered version 

also uses two standard 1.5 V AA batteries as backup 

for uninterrupted operation in the event of line power 

outage. 

Power options must be selected at time of purchase, as 

the internal hardware of the sensor must be changed to 

support the selected power requirements.

Place batteries in the device by first taking the sensor and sliding the battery door open.Insert 

fresh AA batteries in the carriage, then shut the battery door. 

Complete the process by opening up iMonnit and selecting 

Sensors 

from the main navigation 

menu. Verify that iMonnit is showing the sensor has a full battery level. 

The lifespan of a standard CR2032 coin cell battery in an Open/Closed Sensor is 3+ years.
