The Sentinel

Advanced Vehicle Fire Suppression Aid Compact. Refillable.
Built for real-world vehicles.

PROBLEM → SOLUTION

When a fire starts in an engine bay, cabin, or EV battery compartment, seconds matter. The Sentinel delivers fast detection and targeted suppression aid—minimising damage and helping keep people and assets safe.

  • Smart Detection: IR flame + rate-of-rise temperature.
  • Targeted Suppression Aid: 120° full-cone nozzles, tuned by zone.
  • Always Connected: GSM/4G alerts, app dashboard, OTA updates.

KEY FEATURES

  • Multi-zone protection: Up to four modules; engine, cabin, battery zones.
  • Compact hardware: Modules Ø150 × 98 mm (with brackets).
  • Refillable SS316 cylinder: 880 × 169 mm, ~7.3 L internal volume.
  • Operating pressure: 12–15 bar; hydrotest 22.5 bar (1.5× MAWP).
  • Coverage: ~1.5–2.0 m radius per nozzle in open areas; ~0.8–1.0 m in confined spaces.
  • Manual activation options: Dashboard button (road), dual FIA-style (race).
  • IP67 electronics: Conformal-coated PCB, automotive connectors.
  • Service-friendly: Refillable with approved water-based fluid; automated reminders.

HOW IT WORKS

Detect. Decide. Discharge. Notify.

  1. Detect — Each module uses IR flame + rate-of-rise temperature sensing.
  2. Decide — Choose Normal Mode (only triggered module discharges) or Race Mode
    (all modules discharge).
  3. Discharge — Precision nozzles deliver a 120° spray cone via braided stainless hoses.
  4. Notify — App, SMS, and email alerts for fire events, discharges, and low battery.

SPEC SNAPSHOT

Pressure vessel: SS316; designed to ASME BPVC Section VIII Div.1; verified by NATA-accredited labs against EN 13445 / PD 5500.

  • Nozzles: SS316, 120° full cone; typical ~6 L/min @ 12–15 bar (12 mm orifice).
  • Hoses: 12 mm ID braided stainless; 5 m standard (extendable to 10 m).

  • Connectivity: GSM/4G (SIM + antenna), app dashboard, API, OTA updates.

  • Modes: Normal / Race.

Maintenance: Annual inspection; battery replacement every 12 months; scheduled solenoid service; refillable cylinder (no re-cert required after refill when procedure followed).

APPLICATIONS

Race & Track • Passenger & EV • Public Transport • Trucks & Logistics • Heavy Machinery & Mining • Defence • Marine

TECHNOLOGY

Detection & Geometry:

Sensor FOV aligns with 120° spray cones for synchronized detection and suppression aid at recommended standoff distances.

Control & Logic:

  • Normal Mode: Only the triggered module discharges—extends available fluid.
  • Race Mode: All modules discharge at once—maximum immediate response.

Software & Fleet:

  • GSM/4G connectivity, app/SMS/email alerts
  • OTA firmware updates & configuration
  • API for fleet integration; multiple systems per account

COMPLIANCE
