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

Pressure Vessel & Quality 

  • Designed and manufactured to ASME BPVC Section VIII, Division 1 (unfired pressure vessels).
  • Additional verification to EN 13445 and PD 5500 by NATA-accredited laboratories (ISO/IEC 17025).
  • Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management.

Electonics

  • IEC 62368-1 electrical safety alignment
  •  ECE R10 automotive EMC.

Important
The Sentinel is a fire suppression aid intended to assist with fire management and containment; performance depends on installation geometry, environment, and maintenance.

FAQ (SHORT)

Can Sentinel cover multiple zones?

Yes—up to four modules per system with aligned detection and spray geometry.

What activation options are available?

Automatic (sensor-triggered) plus manual: dashboard (road) and dual FIA-style (race).

Is it waterproof?

Electronics are designed to IP67 (sealed against dust and capable of withstanding water ingress/washdown).
