InTroduCTIon

Congratulations on your purchase of the Sentinel Pro Monitoring System. The system is designed to be 

an easy, cost–effective, cloud–based monitoring and data logging system to notify you when equipment 

or conditions go awry. The internet browser–based programming makes the device easy to use from any 

computer or tablet. Monitored conditions can include temperature, humidity levels, pressure, flow, leak 

detection, UPS systems, and more. The Sentinel Pro allows you to read up to 64 Modbus registers from third 

party equipment so that you can create alarms, view the values over the internet, and record the values for 

trending purposes. The Sentinel can read the values over 2-wire RS485 or Ethernet/TCP. You can also read 

registers from both interfaces simultaneously, if desired. The system allows multiple users to be notified 

immediately of any detected problems. Notification can occur via voice call, e–mail or SMS (text message), 

however voice calls and text messages require a premium subscription plan. The internal battery backup 

system insures the unit will continue to run if main power fails. 

Features

The Sentinel Pro includes the following key features: 

n

 Twelve sensor inputs to monitor environmental conditions and/or alarm contacts from other 

equipment.

n

 Up to 64 Modbus registers can be read from third-party equipment via 2-wire RS485 or Ethernet/

TCP.

n

 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port.

n

 Battery backup for uninterrupted performance. 

n

 Compact design allows wall-mount or weatherproof installation.

n

 Notification via e–mail, text message (optional) and voice call (optional).

n

 Relay output capable of automatic or manual control.

n

 Cloud–based user interface for programming, data storage, and alarm delivery.

n

 Available in optional weatherproof NEMA 4X enclosure

n

 Available with cellular modem in weatherproof NEMA 4X enclosure
