VNET INTERFACES SENTINEL SM1

          SENTINEL SM1 System Monitor provides a complete, system wide fault monitoring and reporting solution for mission-critical QFLEX loudspeaker systems, especially in PA/VA and Life Safety applications. Built on a tried and trusted processing engine, the SM1 keeps a watchful eye on the audio system, and if required, any controlling PCs. Issues are reported both via relay contacts to the main monitoring panel in your system, on the front panel display, or through an external audible alarm (not included). Multiple SM1 devices can even monitor each other on the same network simultaneously in systems requiring dual redundancy operation.

Complete System Monitoring

          The SENTINEL SM1 System Monitor is a pivotal QFLEX network accessory, assuring system integrity in sensitive applications that demand superior dependability and demonstrable functionality. The SM1 monitors the status of all devices on the same QFLEX network, reporting any fault condition that may occur on any connected device. The SM1 may be used in either stand-alone mode, or via a control Windows* PC running the Tannoy PodWare software application. Any faults located on the network are displayed on the front panel, along with supplementary information so that issues can be quickly located and remedied. A comprehensive set of on-board relay contacts can be used to report faults directly to other alarm systems, i.e., a fire panel, or other audible alert.

QFLEX Ready

          Designed to work seamlessly with the entire range of Tannoy QFLEX loudspeakers, the SM1 reports Check conditions including temperature and driver impedance warnings, and Fault conditions for including missing pilot tone and out-of-range driver impedance, amplifier over-current and over-temperature, as well as mains power availability.
