Site Sentinel
®
16 Installation and Operation Manual
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your purchase of Broadcast Tools® Site Sentinel® 16 Web based 16
Channel Site Remote Control System (referred to as the Site Sentinel® 16 throughout this
manual). We’re confident that this product will give you many years of dependable service.
This manual is intended to give you all the information needed to install and operate the
Broadcast Tools® Site Sentinel® 16.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Only qualified technical personnel should install the Site Sentinel® 16. Any attempt to
install this device by a person who is not technically qualified could result in a hazardous condition
to the installer or other personnel, and/or damage to the Site Sentinel® 16 or other equipment.
Broadcast transmitters can operate at voltages that are potentially lethal. Please ensure that proper
safety precautions have been made before installing this device. If you are unfamiliar with this type
of equipment, please contact a properly qualified engineer to handle the installation and setup of
the Site Sentinel® 16.
Broadcast Tools® Products, as with any electronic device, can fail without warning. Do
not use this product in applications where a life threatening condition could result due to failure.
Serious injury or death can occur if a command channel is activated while you are performing
maintenance on your equipment. If you are performing maintenance on your equipment, you
should press the “LOCAL” button on the front panel of your Site Sentinel® 16 forcing the unit in
to local mode. The “LOCAL” LED will illuminate. Local mode prevents the unit from perform-
ing relay commands.
For additional safety, it is strongly recommended that, in addition to setting the Site
Sentinel® 16 in to “LOCAL” mode, the remote/local switch on any transmitter or high voltage
equipment should also be set to local mode.
While the Site Sentinel® 16 relays are physically capable of handling 250 VAC, this prac-
tice is extremely dangerous and should never be attempted. The removable euroblock screw ter-
minals are not designed to shield humans from potentially dangerous voltages. Contact with high
voltages can cause serious injury or death. The maximum recommended voltage for the Site
Sentinel® 16 is 30V. Switching of high voltages should only be done external from the Site
Sentinel® 16 and in a manner that isolates the voltages from accidental contact with humans.
