Detachable Lead Swap only the certified sensing component.
Recertification Send the removed lead for service while monitoring continues.
iMonnit® Software Synchronize calibration data, alerts, and device activity.
Compliance-Critical Monitoring

Designed for Compliance-Critical Environments

When you rely on certified temperature and humidity monitoring, you cannot afford unnecessary downtime. Monnit’s innovative detachable architecture lets teams replace only the lead or probe sensing component during recertification, leaving the installed sensor base in place.

Smarter Monitoring Starts with a Better Design

Engineered To Simplify Certification Workflows

Monnit NIST Detachable Leads, Non-Leaded Probes, and compatible ALTA® Sensor Bases were engineered to simplify certification workflows and support continuous monitoring.

Hot-Swappable Lead Architecture

Replace the sensing component without removing the installed wireless sensor base.

NIST-Traceable Calibration Support

Support monitoring programs that require traceable, documented measurement data.

ISO 17025-Accredited Certification

Support certified monitoring requirements with accredited calibration services.

Embedded Calibration Memory

Store essential calibration information directly in the detachable lead assembly.

Automatic Lead Recognition

Compatible bases recognize connected lead types and validate lead activity.

Lead Service Event Logging

Document attachment and detachment events to support service records.

Sealed M8 6-Pin Connections

Connect compatible leads and bases through sealed, sensor-specific connectors.

Faster Maintenance Procedures

Reduce service time by replacing only the detachable lead or probe.

How It Works

A Simpler Path to Recertification

Instead of removing a fully installed wireless sensor for recalibration, Monnit allows you to service only the NIST Detachable Lead or Probe.

2

Attach a Replacement

Attach a newly calibrated replacement lead to the compatible base.

3

Send for Service
