Setting up the Sentry LX 

Before installing the Sentry LX into your system, please first install 
the provided battery into the back of the Sentry LX. The battery 
stores the data and settings for the Sentry LX. 

Installing the Sentry LX 

The Sentry LX requires dual 5.25” bays, simply slide the panel in 
from the front of your chassis and secure the device via screw less 
mechanisms or screw. A 4pin power connection is needed to power 
the Sentry LX, be sure to make this connection before booting up 
your system.  

Setting up the fans and probes

 

Sentry LX can support up to 5 fans, please make sure the fans on 
your chassis come with 3pin connections. The Sentry LX also comes 
with 5 temperature probes.  

1. Make 

sure 

your system is off

 before making any 

connections. 

2.  Connect the 3pin connection on the Sentry LX to the 

fans on your chassis 

3.  Note the stickers on the 3pin connections correspond to 

the number on the meter display  

It is recommended that the user tape the temperature probes near 
the corresponding fans (i.e. Fan 1 is near Temp 1 probe), this 
optimizes the Auto mode where the fan is automatically controlled. 

Auto/Manual Fan Speed Settings 

The Sentry LX controls fans in two modes, pushing the “MODE” 
button changes between these two: 

 

Automatic Mode

: The Sentry LX will adjust the fan speed 

according to the temperature in your system; this is the best for 
users who are looking to operate without hassle. 

 

Manual Mode

: The Sentry LX gives the users the option to 

control individual fans and save the settings to memory. Please 
follow the instructions below.
