The Sentinel™ Series Advanced Fire & Smoke Alarm

Safeguard Your World. Every Second Counts.

In critical moments, early detection is your most powerful defense. The Sentinel™ Series Advanced Fire & Smoke Alarm is engineered to provide unwavering vigilance, offering cutting-edge multi-sensor technology, seamless connectivity, and robust reliability to protect your home or business. Don't compromise on safety; equip your space with the intelligent protection it deserves.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Multi-Sensor Detection Technology:
  • Photoelectric Smoke Sensor: Highly effective at detecting slow, smoldering fires (common in residential settings) that produce large, visible smoke particles. Minimizes false alarms from cooking fumes.
  • Thermistor Heat Sensor: Actively monitors temperature and detects rapid rises in heat, or sustained high temperatures (e.g., 57°C / 135°F), providing crucial warning for fast-flaming fires that may produce less visible smoke initially.
• Loud & Clear Audible Alarm: Emits an piercing 85-decibel (dB) alarm at 3 meters, ensuring occupants are immediately alerted, even in large spaces or when sleeping. Features a distinct temporal-three (T3) alarm pattern for universal recognition as a fire alert.
• Integrated Visual Alarm (Strobe Light): A bright, high-intensity LED strobe light provides a visual alert for the hearing impaired or in loud environments where the audible alarm might be muffled. Synchronizes across interconnected units.
• Wireless Interconnectivity (Mesh Network):
  • Create a robust safety network by linking multiple Sentinel™ alarms throughout your property.
  • When one alarm detects danger, all interconnected units sound simultaneously, ensuring a comprehensive and immediate alert no matter where the fire originates.
  • Supports up to 12 interconnected units, covering even large homes or multi-story buildings.
• 10-Year Sealed Lithium Battery Backup:
  • Designed for long-lasting, maintenance-free operation for its entire lifespan.
  • In hardwired models (AC power), the sealed battery provides continuous protection during power outages.
  • Eliminates the need for frequent battery changes, offering true set-it-and-forget-it convenience.
• Intelligent Self-Testing & End-of-Life Warning:
  • Automatically performs regular self-diagnostics to ensure all components are functioning correctly.
  • Provides a distinct "end-of-life" chirp warning when the unit needs replacement, typically after 10 years, ensuring your protection never expires unknowingly.
• Easy & Flexible Installation:
  • Includes a quick-mount bracket, screws, and anchors for hassle-free ceiling or wall installation.
  • Hardwired models include standard wiring harnesses for direct connection to your home's electrical system (professional installation recommended for hardwired units).
  • Wireless-only models offer ultimate flexibility in placement.
• Sleek, Low-Profile Design: Blends seamlessly with modern home and office interiors, providing discreet yet powerful protection.
• Tamper-Resistant Locking Feature: Prevents unauthorized removal of the alarm unit from its mounting bracket, ideal for rental properties or public spaces.
• Silence/Test Button: Easily test the alarm's functionality with a single press. Features a temporary silence function to quiet nuisance alarms (e.g., from cooking smoke), with an auto-reset after a few minutes.
• Industry Certifications: UL 217 & UL 268 listed (or equivalent national certification like EN 14604 for EU), and compliant with NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) for trusted performance and safety standards.
