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 Sentinels 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 Sentinels timing precision is easily verified. At precise
sixty-second intervals, the units 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 Sentinels 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. |
