    1.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Before installing and using the Smoke Screen read, follow and retain this manual and safety instructions for future reference. To reduce the risk of severe injury or death to persons, or damage to the Smoke Screen: • Do not work on the Smoke Screen unless qualified by the manufacturer to do so.
  • Page 5: Introduction

    1.3 INTRODUCTION This manual covers the Sentinel S50, S70 and S100. Before commencing installation of the Smoke Screen ensure that you have all of the following equipment supplied in the box: • 1 x Smoke Screen. • 1 x Mounting Bracket.
  • Page 6: Positioning

    2.1 POSITIONING The Smoke Screen should ideally be sited in a covert position away from prying eyes and thereby reducing the possibility of tamper or an attack. The ideal place for the Smoke Screen is above a ceiling from where the smoke plume is used to its best effect, bursting on the ground and spreading outwards and upwards through 360°.

    2.3 ACCESS To access the PCB connections, programming panel, mounting holes (battery and fluid access is covered in the relevant sections) remove the front cover by unscrewing the 2 set screws on either side and unhooking it from the top of the case; refitting is the reverse process. Installation cable entry is through the serrated grommet on the right-hand side of the back plate. 2.4 MOUNTING The Smoke Screen can be mounted on a ceiling or a wall using the simple standard bracket supplied with the unit. This flush-fitting bracket maximizes security by concealing all the mounting fastenings such that they can only be accessed, or the Smoke Screen dismounted, by dismantling the unit.

    Suspension mounting Suspending the Smoke Screen is achieved using a ‘Suspension Kit’ comprising a length of Uni-strut, two sections of threaded bar and fixings (4). Prepare the Smoke Screen by fixing the required length of M8 threaded bar to the bracket using 4 x nuts and 4 x 25mm washers (5). Fix the uni-strut into place. There are a range of fixings to accommodate concrete ceiling, girders etc; if in doubt contact the fixing supplier. Attach the threaded bar to the uni-strut using the channel nuts, 38mm washers and M8 nuts (6). Once this is done the Smoke Screen can be lifted into position and the set screws tightened as above (3).
  • Page 9: Controlling The Smoke

    3.1 CONTROLLING THE SMOKE Inputs. There are 3 sets of input connections on the Smoke Screen (Alarm Set, Trigger and Hold Off) that should be connected to clean contacts. For the Smoke Screen to produce ‘smoke’ all 3 sets of connections must be ‘open circuit’ (this can be changed to ‘closed = activate’ – see “Invert Trigger Mode” in the Programming section but note that ‘open = activate’ is used in this manual). We recommend to use the default setting ‘open circuit = activation’ to ensure that the Smoke Screen will activate in case the alarm cables are tampered from the outside. If one set of connections is ‘closed circuit’ then the Smoke Screen is prevented from producing smoke. Hence the production of smoke is controlled using one or a combination of the following: Alarm Set – a normally closed relay connected across the Alarm Panel ‘Set’ output connections, •...
  • Page 12: Screen Sensor

    5.1 SCREEN SENSOR A Concept Smoke Screen “Screen Sensor” can be connected to the Sentinel as shown in the “Generic Connection Diagram”. When this is integrated the system detects a drop in the fog density in the protected area and will re-trigger the Sentinel to maintain the fog level. When fitted the Screen Sensor is connected to the Hold Off input pins and, consequently, it prevents the use of a hold-off detector.

When a 5-Litre external fluid bottle is used and the timer is set to 5000ml via the LCD control panel the function of the micro switch on the fluid consumable holder is changed and a consumable should not be fitted. In this mode, with power applied to the Smoke Screen, momentarily pressing and leaving open the micro switch on the fluid consumable holder resets the fluid timer to 5000ml available.

    Please note that it is a requirement of the standards relating to security fogging devices the Smoke Screen is serviced/replenished by an engineer certified by the manufacturer. If you are unsure, ask the engineer for his certification ID card. It is recommended that the Smoke Screen is checked and the fluid changed annually by the installer or Concept Smoke Screen. Always ensure that the Smoke Screen has sufficient fluid or it will not produce smoke when needed. It is recommended that the installer or Concept Smoke Screen are requested to service/replenish the Smoke Screen if there have been 2 or more activations of the Smoke Screen.
