SignalFire Sentinel Series of Open
Architecture True Wireless Systems
Celebrates its First Birthday
Sentinel Solar Systems offer Class 1
Division 1 Power
SignalFire Sentinel First Year a Success: Over 5 Million Hours of Robust Field Operation.
SignalFire Moves to New Larger Facility
Hudson, Ma. SignalFire Telemetry introduced and began shipping its new Sentinel Series in October, 2012. “This product line, provides wireless connectivity to a wide variety of devices,” according to CEO Scott Keller. “Upstream Oil and Gas is a notoriously challenging outdoor environment, the performance of the Sentinel Product Line has exceeded our expectations.”, he added.
“Since achieving a Class 1 Division 1 Intrinsically Safe certification, Sentinel products have achieved excellent reliability having demonstrated well over 5 million hours of operation with only one lost time field failure.”
The Sentinel product line offers a true Open Architecture with True Wireless operation. Customers can select the sensing technology of their choice and then connect with the Sentinel product using a variety of industry standard interfaces interface. These include:
- 4-20 mA
- 1-5 V
- HART
- RS 485 Modbus
- Digital Inputs
Common sensors and transmitters can be powered by either internal battery packs or by an optional Sentinel Solar System. Both power systems are Class 1 Division 1 certified. No external power is required for most applications.
Keller adds, “The success of our Sentinel Series as well as our other products – including our Remote Shutdown System, “In-a-Stick” products and our expanding systems capabilities has fueled steady growth for our company.” To support current demand and future growth, SignalFire has moved to a new larger facility.
SignalFire Telemetry is the developer of the SignalFire Telemetry System, an innovative long range mesh networking technology specifically designed for challenging, large-scale environments characterizing industries such as oil and gas, agriculture, forestry, water systems, and public infrastructure. Unlike other systems the SignalFire System is an Open Architecture that permits customers to integrate the sensors and actuators of their choice rather than the ones chosen by their wireless vendors. Many SignalFire Systems are rated Class 1 Div. 1 and can power sensors from internal batteries or Class 1 Div. 1 solar systems.
