Sentry IT Data Sheet – Sentry 5000-IT Controller Rev.

A1
FS-B3512-05

Overview
The Sentry IT Controller is a comprehensive
hazardous gas detection monitoring system born with
the flexibility and features that meet your specific
applications. Sierra Monitor Corporation has been a
leader in hazardous gas detection technology for over
30 years and this latest generation of controller is
designed for today’s detection environments requiring
intelligent network interface, minimal maintenance,
comprehensive diagnostic information, smart sensor
communications and easy to install interconnections.
The internal modular design of the Sentry IT Controller
allows the user to select the various inputs and outputs
necessary to meet their specific application
requirements. For instance, the user can select
RS-485 Modbus RTU communication to the sensor
modules, or 4-20 mA Analog, or Sentry Bus PSG.
Output selections include re-transmitted 4-20 mA, 5
Amp relays or 8 Amp relays.

Features
 Ability to interface to a wide variety of sensor  USB flash drive interface capability for fast
communications, including Modbus RTU, 4-20 mA, configuration
Sentry Bus, and conventional dry contact
 Easy interface of necessary data to plant-wide
 Simple menu-driven configuration and operation via control systems, PC, external touch-screen panel or
a large, touch sensitive, easy-to-read color more
touch-panel computer
 Retrofit option to upgrade Sentry NEMA classic to
 Modular internal design enabling the user to select Sentry IT
those components needed for the application
without adding multiple external boxes, yet still offer  Universal gateway to external control systems using
seamless interface to the system controls Modbus TCP/IP, Allen Bradley EtherNet/IP and
other commonly used open protocols are available
 Interface capability to Sentry IT sensors and other
third party sensors and devices  Third-party NRTL approvals UL 2017, CE Mark,
ABS and SIL-2
 Super bright LEDs indicating Safe, Alarm, Warning
or Trouble conditions and external alarm reset  Battery backup capable, providing the desired
switch stand-by power in the event of power outage

 Outputs to other control devices via re-transmit of  Choice of AC or DC power interface providing
4-20 mA signal, 5 Amp or 8 Amp relays power for up to 32 sensor modules
