S.E. International Sentry User Manual - page 3
To turn off the alert, change the position of the audio clicks switch. After leaving the field detected,
the alert resets itself and will reset to alert the next time you enter a field corresponding to the preset
alert and warning levels. If the unit is set to the Audio and Vibrate Alert mode, users can turn off the
audio portion of the alert by switching the mode switch to “vibe”. The vibration alert and the LED will
continue without the audio alert.
Vibrate Mode
The vibrating alert consists of two stages.
1.
The first stage is a warning where the vibration and the LED pulsates. The LED indicates a
Rate or Dose Warning. The warning is triggered when you are approaching the threshold that you
have set for your alert.
2.
The second stage of the alert sounds when you have reached the settable threshold. The full
alert is a pulsating vibration notably faster than the warning. The LED indicates a Rate or Dose Alert.
Sentry Software
The Sentry Software enables the users to change the alert levels for both dose and rate, set the time
and date, as well as download and set the parameters for your accumulated dose data.
Connecting The Sentry to a PC
To connect the Sentry to a PC, open the battery door and locate the 4 pin header. Attach the provid-
ed cable as shown to the header connector and the other end to your computers serial port (A USB-
Serial adapter can be used is your computer does not have a serial port). Launch The Sentry
Software and click "Retrieve Current Settings". This will populate the fields with the current Sentry
alert and time/date settings, as well as the
calibration factor.
Changing your Default Alert Levels
When you open The Sentry Software, the “Settings” tab opens by default. To change the alert levels
on The Sentry, click into the field containing the setting
you would like to change. After you have changed them to
your desired setting, click "Update with New Settings" to
update The Sentry.
By putting a 0 (zero) in the fields for warning or alarm, it
will disable that warning or alarm. Note: Do not set the
warning value to a higher value than the alert.
Calibration Factor
If the factory defaults of The Sentry do not meet your
needs, you can adjust the deadtime and the
calibration factor by inputting
your new settings in the
Calibration tab.
