Sentry · v1.2 · Optical fluid sensor

Sentry 1.2

Sentry connects directly to the loops within your system, automatically sampling and testing fluid to monitor trends and anomalies in real time.

Multi-channel sensing gives a continuous window into the microscopic health of the cooling loop.

  1. 01

    Connect

    Two 1/2" OCP UQD08 couplings tap the loop in parallel bypass. Primary flow is untouched.

  2. 02

    Sample

    Sentry draws fluid from the bypass automatically and runs multi-channel analysis on every sample.

  3. 03

    Report

    Readings stream to Omen Cloud over MQTT and to the facility BMS over Modbus TCP/IP.

Sensor telemetry

Every reading, against its band.

Each parameter is shown beside its healthy band, and leaving the band opens an alert.
