Page 4: Introduction
Introduction Introduction This manual is intended for use with SENTINEL battery monitoring systems that use the m-Senzor range of devices. This includes the full upgrade path from the voltage only m-Senzor to the voltage/temperature/ ohmic value m-Senzor. Note: This manual does not cover the installation of SENTINEL systems that use Measurement Modules. -
Page 5: Definitions For This Manual
For this manual the term has been standardised as monoblock to avoid using the somewhat unwieldy convention of "monoblock/jar" throughout String two or more monoblocks connected in series Battery Bank complete system of parallel connected strings © 2015 PowerShield Ltd.

Page 9: The Sentinel Battery Monitoring System
Each system consists of at least one Sentinel monitor, an m-Senzor for each pair of monoblocks being monitored, temperature probe and current transducer. An RS232 serial communication port has been provided to be used with Configuration and Link software. For larger systems, multiple Sentinel monitors can be 'daisy-chained'. -

4.1.6 m-Senzor Each m-Senzor is specific to the monoblock voltage to which it will be fitted, e.g. 2V / 6V / 12V. The m-Senzor is a dual device and is connected across a pair of monoblocks. The pair of monoblocks must be located one after the other in a series, within the same battery string. -
Page 13: Bbus
Ensure that all terminals have 6.3mm tabs available for m-Senzor connection as following: Where a dual m-Senzor is to be used – fit two tabs on the negative (-) terminal of the most negative monoblock and two tabs on the positive (+) terminal of the most positive monoblock. Fit one tab on each of the remaining terminals. -
Page 14: Step 2 - Sentinel
When the Sentinel is powered up, it will emit an audible alert, and the green Power LED will light. Other LEDs on the front panel may also light. Install the Sentinel securely. Power up and confirm operation. © 2015 PowerShield Ltd. Sentinel Installation Manual m-Senzor... -
Page 15: Step 3 - Mounting Rail For M-Senzors
4.2.3 Step 3 – Mounting Rail for m-Senzors The m-Senzor mounting rail can be fitted in any orientation and can be used with both battery racks and cabinets. Drill to suit and fasten with screws or cable ties. Secure the mounting rail to suit battery layout. -
Page 16: Step 5 - Connect M-Senzors
The only requirement is that when connected to the Sentinel each m-Senzor on a BBus port has a different ID. The LED should light solid green when the m-Senzor is powered correctly. If the LED lights red, check the connections of the power lead. -
Page 17: Step 6 - Connect The Bbus
Sentinel BBus port. The m-Senzors can be connected in any arrangement, so long as each m-Senzor on a BBus has a different ID number. Use the short BBus interconnect cables from m-Senzor to m-Senzor, and the longer BBus port cables from m-Senzor to Sentinel. -
Page 18: Step 7 - Connecting The Current Transducer
The SENTINEL Battery Monitoring System Connect BBus port cable from one end of the m-Senzors to the Monitor. Once the BBus is connected to a powered Sentinel, the m-Senzor LEDs should flash green and red in unison. Note a maximum of 10 m-Senzors per BBus and each on that port must have a unique ID. -
