Constructed in a sturdy casing (custom cases available), Sentor offers:

• Monitoring and Control of Remote Wireless Base Station
• Transmitters/Receivers
• Building and Site Management
• Full Security and Keyless Access Control
• Air Conditioning, Smoke & Fire Monitoring
• Tower Lighting Monitoring/Control
• and much more...

Sentor operates independently of any computer at each remote location and has enormous inbuilt intelligence, capable of controlling a wide range of equipment or devices connected to its inputs or outputs.

Sentor's fuzzy logic controlled intelligent is capable of executing complex tasks by itself and will call the central PC only when an alarm or an event dictates. Preferring to work by itself, Sentor logs events and controls situations as they occur.

Sentor's software is so advanced that Sentor is able to Monitor actual readings (lineal and non lineal) or closures from equipment and sensors, calculate when, where and why the situation occurred, then make   an informed decision to control, turn on other equipment, log and call the operator and inform him of the situation of failure. Sentor will even phone the Service personnel out of hours, inform them of a fault condition by voice and allow them by the press of a keypad to take manual control of the site. This arrangement allows an ideal environment for controlling complex remote Networks or stand-alone installations. And all this can be easily written in standard English phrases instead of a complex programming language.

Many other functions and options may be monitored and controlled by Sentor. The system is so flexible that extra programming and interfacing can be done quickly and easily. Upgrading software and scenarios can be performed remotely or on-site.

Devices and Sensors are represented on the backdrop as icons. These represent the actual processes or device management to be incorporated as the system expands.

Example of user programmable icons

The history data accumulated in the Sentor controller is transferred to the PC showing any problem occurring at any stage, or just regular performance data if required.The History Log's standard size is set at 500 events of three lines each, however this can be increased if necessary. Individual events are logged only if the scenario instruction is set for that point or device.

Example History Log

In the standard form, Sentor is configured with the ST300 processor board, lithium battery, flash memory, 80 configurable inputs (analog Lineal, Non Lineal or Digital) & 40 Digital outputs.

Sentor is housed in a 19-inch rack, 2 RU high, ready to mount into a standard equipment rack or wall mounted vertically.

An optional backup battery (7.2Ahr lead acid) can be added to keep Sentor running for up to 24hrs should the mains fail, however the system may also be backed up by other power systems available on site such as Solar, Wind, Generator or Battery Banks. All of these backup systems can be monitored and controlled by Sentor.

Even if all power fails the on board Lithium battery will maintain the user program’s, history log & real time clock. Sentor will automatically start up when power is restored & will maintain all of its history and pre programmed functionality.

Communications with Sentor is achieved by connecting to a PC via a spare COM port. For remote installations contact is made by:

The ST330 option includes a landline modem enabling features such as Auto Alarm dialing with real voice and DTMF keypad control.

The Sentor system can operate in either single controller or multi controller modes. A single PC can easily monitor multiple Base Station Sites from around the world.

When the Sentor Software is in multiple controller mode, all open windows can be tiled, cascaded or maximized, and individual controllers can be opened and closed as required.

Many options are also available such as infrared control systems and X10 power line carrier systems plus many others.

Sentor supports all common devices capable of supplying a contact closure indicating its condition. Security devices can be connected to the General Inputs and configured as ‘protected loop’ to gain protection from any cable tampering.

Analog inputs are connected to the optional analog interfaces. Some of these devices can be;

As the outputs of Sentor are changeover contacts, 48 VDC or 24 VDC @ 1 Amp can be switched directly by Sentor's outputs.

Our Dealers & Distributors do all base station interfacing on an individual basis prior to shipping. A comprehensive site checklist tells us what is necessary for the customer's requirements.

The hardware and software is configured quickly and simply prior to installation. Each brand of base station transmitter is unique, however most synthesized transmitters supply outputs necessary for Sentor's installation.

The Sentor Programming System is not complex like computer programming. Simple English statements are used to define each event. A collection of these statements are called "Scenario's". One scenario could contain all the statements to define a number of operations such as Multiple Base Station Functions and the Site Security System.

Scenario Lines

The Sentor System software has an inbuilt line insert function to help write the programming for your applications in a matter of minutes.

Scenario Line Insert Help

PC's fitted with a sound card can have the controller program send out verbal messages through the computer speakers warning of events taking place.

All hardware has a 12 mths warranty from date of purchase.
