Site Sentinel™ 4 Installation and Operation Manual
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your purchase of Broadcast Tools® Site Sentinel™ 4 Web based Four
Channel Site Remote Control System (referred to as the Site Sentinel™ 4 throughout this manual).
We’re confident that this product will give you many years of dependable service. This manual is
intended to give you all the information needed to install and operate the Broadcast Tools® Site
Sentinel™ 4.
Broadcast Tools®, Inc., is unable to support NON-Broadcast Tools® hardware/software or
NON-Broadcast Tools® computer hardware/software problems. If you experience these problems,
please research your hardware/software instruction manuals or contact the manufacturer’s technical
support department.
SAFETY INFORMATION
CAUTION!
Only qualified technical personnel should install the Site Sentinel™
4. Any attempt to install this device by a person who is not technically qualified could result
in a hazardous condition to the installer or other personnel, and/or damage to the Site
Sentinel™ 4 or other equipment. Broadcast transmitters can operate at voltages that are
potentially lethal. Please ensure that proper safety precautions have been made before
installing this device. If you are unfamiliar with this type of equipment, please contact a
properly qualified engineer to handle the installation and setup of the Site Sentinel™ 4.
Broadcast Tools® Products, as with any electronic device, can fail without warning.
Do not use this product in applications where a life threatening condition could result due
to failure. Serious injury or death can occur if a command channel is activated while you
are performing maintenance on your equipment. If you are performing maintenance on your
equipment, you should press the “LOCAL” button on the front panel of your Site Sentinel™
4 forcing the unit in to local mode. The “LOCAL” LED will illuminate. Local mode pre-
vents the unit from performing relay commands.
For additional safety, it is strongly recommended that, in addition to setting the Site
Sentinel™ 4 in to “LOCAL” mode, the remote/local switch on any transmitter or high volt-
age equipment should also be set to local mode.
While the Site Sentinel™ 4 relays are physically capable of handling 250 VAC, this
practice is extremely dangerous and should never be attempted. The removable euroblock
screw terminals are not designed to shield humans from potentially dangerous voltages.
Contact with high voltages can cause serious injury or death. The maximum recommended
voltage for the Site Sentinel™ 4 is 30V. Switching of high voltages should only be done
external from the Site Sentinel™ 4 and in a manner that isolates the voltages from acciden-
tal contact with humans.
