Using the time-proven Inovonics TapWatch® system as a radio backbone, the Compugas Energy SentinelTM  brings
cutting-edge radio technology to energy allocation systems. Whether monitoring appliance runtime, real-time energy flow,
or thermal rationing, the
Compugas Energy SentinelTM  offers unparalleled sophistication and functionality in nonmetered,
energy apportioning applications. It boasts unequalled accuracy, in-the-field flexibility, and easy user interfacing.

   
 
 
Every Second Counts: The Energy Sentinel records furnace runtime and transmits its data via radio to a central collection unit once every twenty minutes. If a furnace cycle ends with a partial minute, that data is stored in the Energy Sentinel’s flash memory, and the next furnace cycle begins timing where the previous left off, thereby losing no runtime on partially-completed furnace cycles. Competing systems generally have no electronic memory, and partial minutes are discarded at the end of each cycle, substantially impacting accurate time measurement.

Energy Sentinel’s timing precision is easily verified. At precise sixty-second intervals, the unit’s multicolored LED pulses orange. Whether serving as a quick maintenance check or to appease a concerned renter, the orange pulse can be readily compared with a watch or clock to demonstrate absolutely precise timing.
  Red/Green Status Indicator: The Energy Sentinel’s multi-color LED also provides an instantaneous indication of proper connection to its associated furnace. If a problem is detected, the normally green LED turns red within 7 seconds. When proper operation is restored, the green color returns automatically. A quick glance verifies proper connection, furnace operation and energy monitoring functionality.

Electronic Ignition Compatible: Designed for future furnace upgrades, Energy Sentinel includes automatic pre-burn purge/prove cycle delays. Future furnace replacements with electronic-ignition devices will be instantly compatible with the existing Energy Sentinel. A single button press by maintenance personnel sets electronic-ignition burn-delay compensation.
