Safety Regulations Read this manual carefully before using the SENTRY io. The SENTRY io will perform as designed only if it is used and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Otherwise, it could fail to perform as designed and persons who rely on the SENTRY io for their safety could sustain serious personal injury or death.
The SENTRY io is designed to accept standard 4-20 mA analog signal inputs from connected MSA or generic gas detectors and will also accept discrete inputs from contact closure devices such as switches or relay contacts. The system provides discrete relay outputs for use in energizing notification devices such as sounders, strobes, or horns.

Power Supply The 24 VDC, 10A power supply accepts main AC power. The SENTRY io uses a COSEL power supply (PN: KHNA240F-24) or equivalent - for specifications, please refer to the COSEL product page. The COSEL KHNA240F-24 complies with SELV requirements as per UL 60950-1 and OSHA Class I Div. 1 requirements.
2.2.4 Buzzer The SENTRY io buzzer is designed to audibly alert you when an event occurs. The buzzer is not intended to be the primary indicator of an alarm condition. The buzzer has distinct tones for both alarm and fault: Alarm—Steady tone...
Analog Inputs The SENTRY io is designed to provide 24 VDC field device power for connected, 2 and 3-wire 4-20 mA signal fixed gas detectors. The wiring termination blocks for connected gas detectors are located in the lower left hand corner of the panel.
The wiring termination blocks for discrete input device connections are located to the right of the 4-20 mA signal input terminal blocks and utilize a two-tier terminal block. The SENTRY io enables the internal 24 VDC power to be used for the discrete 24 VDC signal inputs.

The SENTRY io comes pre-wired with all contacts dry except for relays 5-8 (which includes the buzzer on relay 5). To add additional powered relays, you need to connect 0 VDC and 24 VDC to the terminal strip as shown below. Powered contacts are used for things like horn and strobe activation.
MSA instrument's instruction manual for the relevant fault code explanation. The Sentry io also shows a general fault if there is an internal error or PLC failure.This fault is shown on the home screen and in the alarm log with a time stamp.
Cable shielding for all input and output devices must be connected to SENTRY io chassis ground. NOTE: SENTRY io terminal blocks can accept a maximum wire gauge of 12 AWG and a minimum gauge of 18 AWG, one wire per terminal.

If selected, user must define Voting Zones required and names of each Zone User must define which Discrete signals and Analog Alarm signals shall be evaluated within Zone voting logic For assistance, use the Cause and Effect Planning spreadsheet in the SENTRY io Online Help to do your cause and effect pre-planning.
Packaging materials are removed from inside the SENTRY io CAUTION! Due to the weight of the SENTRY io, unpacking and removing it from the container may require an additional person to assist. Failure to follow this caution can result in minor or moderate injury.
SENTRY io enclosure before doing work inside the enclosure. ESD can cause damage to the SENTRY io. Do not touch the electronic circuit boards. When closing and latching the SENTRY io door, ensure the enclosure door seal is free from debris and the door is tightly sealed.
7. Connect the AC power wiring to the #1 AC terminal block (HOT) and #2 AC terminal block (NEUTRAL) input terminals. Make sure the connectors are seated securely. 8. Connect the AC power ground wire to the ground lug so the SENTRY io chassis ground is connected to the earth ground.

When wiring each node, connect the cable shield to the functional ground point of the RS485 terminal block. In order to avoid ground-loops, do not connect the RS485 functional ground terminal to the Earth of the SENTRY io as it is internally connected to the SENTRY io's functional ground point.
Remote Displays SENTRY io has the ability to support a remote display over Ethernet. A remote display will act and function the same way as the primary SENTRY io display. Both the primary and remote displays will have the ability to function simultaneously.

4 Configuration Configuration The first time the SENTRY io is connected to power, the SmartStart configuration wizard displays upon initialization. Before normal operation of the SENTRY io, you must proceed through the steps of the SmartStart configuration wizard. The configuration involves input steps for the following system parameters: 1.
4. Tap the Password tab to proceed to the Password screen. —or— Tap Next to end the General Settings configuration and proceed to the I/O configuration. NOTE: You cannot go back in the process once you tap Next. SENTRY io...
4.3.2 Manually Identifying Detectors for more information. NOTE: The SENTRY io EZ-ID process uses preset full-scale instrument ranges, therefore do not rescale the range at instrument. If rescaling is necessary, manual identification may be needed. NOTE: For auto-identified sensors, the SENTRY io uses default mA fault levels for instruments. Therefore the default mA...
If this is necessary, manual identification may be needed. NOTE: For dual sensor configurations on Ultima X5000 and S5000, SENTRY io auto identification will only load information for sensor #1. You can manually add sensor #2.
4. Select a channel by swiping or using locate the desired channel number. 5. Tap Ok. Once you select the channel, the alarm levels auto populate with default values. SENTRY io...
SENTRY io to the MSA detector. If this is not selected, then the SENTRY io and MSA detector can maintain different set-points. 7. If you want to change the alarm level values, they must be changed in order.
3. If performing fast relay assignment but not performing separate relay assignment, choose whether to perform common relay assignment. 4. Select the desired module tab to view its relays. 5. Tap a relay to edit it. NOTE: Relays with a grey background cannot be edited. SENTRY io...
Voting Zones The SENTRY io logic programming supports “OR” gate and “AND” gate logic functions in the SmartStart setup wizard. Any OR gates may be selected in zoning logic section, or “2 of N” or “3 of N” are also selectable to achieve limited “AND” gate functions.
6. Tap Finish. 7. Tap Press Here to Go Live to complete the SmartStart configuration wizard. —or— Tap Modify Configuration to go back to the Detector Identifications screen and modify any necessary items of the configuration. SENTRY io...
5 System Verification System Verification 1. Connect the detector(s) to the SENTRY io. 2. Configure the SENTRY io. 3. Verify detector information on the dashboard. 4. Test the detector alarm setpoints with the application or simulation of gas. 5. Test the buzzer response to alarm state. Verify the volume level of the buzzer is sufficient for the ambient noise level in the environment.
Operation Dashboard NOTE: On some instruments, CLO2 and CO2 show as two decimal places (x.xx). The SENTRY io is limited to one decimal place (x.x). NOTE: Some Oxygen instruments have a calibration output signal >20mA and may display as "overrange" on the SENTRY io.
