5. Probe Input
The probe input is keyed so it is only possible to connect the probe in the correct orientation.
Make sure the sensor probe is connected securely and completely. Use only official Sentinel Next
probes from Aginova. Below is pictured an example of a probe that is properly connected.
6. Internal Wi-Fi Antenna
The Sentinel Next communicates via the internal 2.4Ghz antenna and is compatible with
802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi access points. The Sentinel Next is not compatible with 802.11ac and cannot
communicate on the 5Ghz band.
When installing, it is best to ensure the front of the Sentinel Next is facing the Wi-Fi access
point as directly as possible. It is best to ensure there are as few obstacles between the Sentinel
Next and the Wi-Fi access point as possible.
Do NOT place the sensors inside refrigerators/freezers as
the radio signal will get almost fully attenuated.
