Menu Screen 

The  Menu  screen  gives  access  to  the  menus  that  are  used  to  configure  the  way  that  the 
Sentinel  system  operates.  There  are  three  levels  of  access  to  the  menu  system;  User, 
Supervisor and System. The User and Supervisor menus are detailed in 

Section 8

. 

The  User  level  menu  does  not  require  an  access  code,  and  can  be  accessed  by  anyone 
operating the machine. 

The Supervisor  level menu requires an access code. This menu contains parameters that 
configure how the Sentinel system and the User Interface Panel operate. This menu should 
only be accessible to suitably trained and authorized personnel.

The System menu requires an access code. (This is the highest level access code, and can 
also be used to access the Supervisor level menu). This menu contains machine/site specific 
parameters that are set during the installation of the Sentinel Press Brake Guarding System. 
The System menu is 

not

 described in this document. 

 

Warning: 
The System menu does not contain any user configurable parameters. 
System  menu  parameters  must  only  be  configured  by  trained  and 
qualified  Sentinel  installers.  Setting  incorrect  parameter  values  may 
render your machine inoperable.
