Sentry IT Fire and Gas Detection


• It saves lives and protects valuable assets

• Many applications require fire and gas detection systems by regulations and laws

• Systems must be approved by required agencies otherwise creates immense liability for the user

Why Fire and Gas Detection?

UL 2075


6

• Products and solutions for detecting fire and toxic and combustible gases

• State of the art sensors and detectors

• Scalable and flexible architecture including IP connectivity and cloud applications

• Safety and regulatory approvals with NRTLs

What is Sentry IT?


Combustible GasesExplosion or fire hazardMust maintain concentration below lower explosive limit (LEL)

Toxic GasesHazardous to human health and safety

Employee exposure must be limited

Oxygen Displacing GasesIndirect human health hazardDeficiency of breathing Oxygen

7

• 35 years of experience Key agency approvals like FM, ATEX, UL, CCCF an others…

• Flexible and scalable From stand-alone detectors to advanced controller-based systems

• Lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Fast installation and commissioning, infrequent calibration, low

ongoing maintenance

• Distributed intelligence Maximum performance and ability to collect sensor data for

advanced analytics

• Integration with control systems and cloud for remote monitoring and analytics Integrated FieldServer gateway provides the industry’s

leading multi-protocol interface

Sentry IT Summary


14

Application

• Hazardous gas monitoring in bus maintenance facility used for CNG buses

Problem

• Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) starting to switch buses to CNG fuel needed to upgrade safety system in maintenance facility.

Solution

• Sierra Monitor Sentry IT system with combustible and Carbon Monoxide detector system integrated to central control via FieldServer gateways to meet local fire marshal requirements.

Results

• SMC provided a complete system with quick installation and approval that took into account all safety, notification, alarm and mitigation requirements.

Alternative Fueled Vehicle Facilities


15

Application

• Monitoring Sulfur Dioxide gas leaks in residential area near a chemical plant

Problem

• A safety engineer had very specific need to monitor for low levels of SO2. It had to be wireless, remote, 0-20 ppm range, non-intrusive calibration and delivered soon.

Solution

• A custom modified 4501-10 with non-intrusive calibration, 0-20 PPM range installed in NEMA 4X box with a wireless transmitter interfacing to base station in plant central.

Results

• Sierra Monitor was able to quickly and effectively make the necessary changes to an existing product to meet the customer’s very specific requirements enabling this major chemical manufacturer to meet their safety needs and effectively satisfy both safety and community requirements.

Gas Detection – Chemical Plant


16

Application

• Monitoring for hazardous gas and fire conditions in pipeline booster station

Problem

• Required comprehensive detection package with point gas, open path gas and flame detection, plus other devices.

Solution

• SMC provided over $2.5 million in equipment to meet their needs including detectors for flame, combustible gas , open path, and H2S, plus strobes, alarms and other devices..

Results

• Sierra Monitor won the project not only due to the reputation and quality of our gas and flame detection products, but also due to capability to consolidate the wide range of products necessary and meet the extensive requirements for documentation and testing.

Requirement

• Today's M2M/IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) demands that devices and assets must communicate with each other regardless of protocol

Challenges

• No common protocol in the industry

• No single hardware supplier can provide devices for all factory and building functions

• Data must be accessible between different systems

• IP connectivity is no longer just nice to have, it is a must

• Installed base of devices and assets cannot just be replaced
