1.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before installing and using the Smoke Screen read, follow, and retain this manual and safety instructions for future
reference.
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death to persons, or damage to the Smoke Screen:
• Do not work on the Smoke Screen unless certified as competent by the manufacturer to do so.
• Disconnect the mains power supply before working in the heater block compartment or anywhere that
mains voltage is indicated by the warning labels shown below (this is engraved with the layout of the PCB
connections).
• Install in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
• Operate the Smoke Screen only from the type of power source indicated on the label.
• Do not modify the Smoke Screen.
• Adjust only the controls specified in this manual.
• Use only consumables and replacement parts specified by the manufacturer.
• Do not spill liquid of any type on, or inside, the Smoke Screen.
The following signs, or a variation, may be used for safety notices in this manual or on the Smoke Screen:
This type of warning note is
used to indicate possible
electrical shock hazards that
may cause serious injuries or
death.
This type of warning note is
used to indicate the possibility
of injury caused by hazards
other than electrical shock.
1.2 HOW DOES YOUR SMOKE SCREEN WORK?
Your Smoke Screen passes a non-toxic fluid through an efficient heat exchanger to create smoke, or more accurately
a thermally generated fog that obscures visibility, discouraging intruders from entering your premises.
This fog is very persistent and will stay suspended in the room for a significant length of time until it is vented by
opening the doors and windows. Venting should be performed within 2 hours of an activation.
The Smoke Screen uses a sophisticated electronic control system to ensure it heats up to, and maintains, its ideal
operating temperature using a minimal amount of electricity.
The control system similarly provides a flexible interface with intruder detectors, alarm systems and remote
monitoring centres to ensure that you are always protected and free of inadvertent activations.

1.3 INTRODUCTION
This manual covers the Sentinel S70 / S100 / S150 v7 v1.2, which can be upgraded to a Sentinel+ with the addition
of an IP module. The manual also covers the S70 / S100 / S150 v6; however, this model cannot be upgraded to
Sentinel+ without replacement parts and firmware upgrade. Some of the menu items listed are not available in earlier
firmware.
Before commencing installation of the Smoke Screen ensure that you have all the following parts supplied in the box:
• 1 x Smoke Screen.
• 1 x Mounting bracket.
• 1 x Smoke fluid consumable.
• 2 x 12v batteries.
• 1 x Additional 30-degree Nozzle for wall mounted installation.
• 1 x Warning sign and documentation.
You will also need:
• Mains power supply: an unswitched 13 amp fused spur connected to a dedicated breaker.
• Connections into the alarm panel or other triggering system.
• PIR (or equivalent) to provide the hold-off where required.
• Ethernet connection if a Sentinel+ is being used.
1.4 OVERVIEW
The Smoke Screen is designed to form part of an existing intruder alarm system but may also be configured as a
‘stand-alone’ system or as part of a centrally monitored, command and control system. A typical installation is shown
in the following schematic:
The optional Smoke Screen Interface allows easy connection to alarm systems, visual and audible status monitoring,
the ability to isolate smoke system for alarm servicing, and simple activation testing of the smoke system.

1.5 TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS
Recommended installation configuration:
Smoke Screen is wall or ceiling mounted in the appropriate location.
Optional Smoke Screen Interface (SSI) usually fitted adjacent to alarm panel.
A Set command supplied by an alarm control panel, or equivalent, in the form of a Normally Closed (N/C)
clean contact relay changing ‘Energised Open’ when the alarm system is set for operation.
An Alarm command supplied by the alarm control panel, or equivalent, in the form of a Normally Closed (N/C)
clean contact relay changing ‘Energised Open’ when the alarm system detects an intruder. This can be a First
Intruder or Confirmed as required.
Optional - A Hold-off PIR (or similar device) located within the same area as the Smoke Screen providing a
confirmation signal to the Smoke Screen to start, or restart, ‘smoke’ production.
Optional - A Panic command in the form of a Normally Closed (N/C) relay or equivalent clean contact such as a
dedicated panic button, that is opened when an instant activation is required.
Optional – Ethernet connection for Sentinel+ monitoring if fitted and required. Specifically for remote monitoring
an Outbound TCP connection on port 8883 is required.

Location 2
2.1 POSITIONING
The Smoke Screen should ideally be sited in a covert position away from prying eyes and thereby reducing the
possibility of tamper or an attack. The ideal place for the Smoke Screen is above a ceiling from where the smoke
plume is used to its best effect, bursting on the ground, and spreading outwards and upwards through 360°. If no
suitable ceiling location is available, then the next best location is a wall mounting.
Wall-mounting
The optimum wall mounting position for the Smoke Screen is 2.5 metres above the floor facing the area to be
protected and using the 30-degree angle nozzle. The maximum recommended mounting-height above floor level is 3
metres for an S70, 4 metres for S100 and S150, the minimum is 1 metre and there should be no obstacle within 1
metre of the smoke output nozzle. Also, leave a minimum of 150mm clearance to the ceiling.
Ceiling-mounting
The optimum ceiling mounting position for the Smoke Screen is 2.5 metres above the floor facing the area to be
protected and using the standard straight nozzle. The maximum recommended mounting-height above floor level is 3
metres for an S70, 4 metres for S100 and S150, the minimum is 1 metre and there should be no obstacle within 1
metre of the smoke output nozzle.

2.2 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Site the Smoke Screen and fix to the wall or ceiling as appropriate.
2. Make connections as required to the alarm panel, SSI, hold-off PIR, and PA.
3. Fit batteries, do not switch on yet.
4. If fitted, set the Smoke Screen Interface to ‘isolate’.
5. Select the ‘Service Mode’ dip switch to ‘On’.
6. Change nozzle, if required, before powering up.
7. Connect and turn on the mains power.
8. Turn on the internal battery back-up switch.
9. The Smoke Screen will heat up to operating temperature in approximately 10-15 minutes.
10. Set correct time/date.
11. Set correct smoke timing for the specified room size.
12. if using a Sentinel+, connect an ethernet cable to the module and follow setup instructions.
13. Insert a fluid consumable.
14. Visually test all signals between the Smoke Screen, alarm panel, SSI, hold-off PIR, and PA (as fitted).
15. Confirm alarm panel has full control of the Smoke Screen. With SSI in ‘Ready’ position if fitted.
16. Ensure the ‘Service Mode’ dip switch is selected to ‘Off’.
17. Make sure all tamper switches are closed.
18. Perform activation test.
19. Final check of settings and monitored signals, SSI in ‘Ready’ position if fitted.
2.3 ACCESS
To access the PCB connections, programming panel, mounting holes, batteries, and fluid, remove the front cover by
unscrewing the set screws on either side and unhooking it from the back plate; refitting is the reverse process.
Installation cable entry is through the serrated grommet on the left side of the back plate.
2.4 MOUNTING
The Smoke Screen can be mounted on a ceiling or a wall using the simple standard bracket supplied with the unit.
This flush-fitting bracket maximizes security by concealing all the mounting fastenings such that they can only be
accessed, or the Smoke Screen dismounted, by dismantling the unit. Moreover, the Smoke Screen has a tamper
protection switch to provide an alert in the unlikely event that it is disturbed. In all cases, the installer must attach the
Smoke Screen to the building structure using appropriate fasteners.
NB: When mounting the Smoke Screen ensure that the airflow through the vent holes in the rear of the unit is not
obstructed.
Wall and ceiling mounting
Ceiling or wall mounting is the same process except that rather than fixing the Smoke Screen direct to a ceiling an
intermediate unistrut section may be used or it can be suspended as described in the next section.

Suspension mounting
Suspending the Smoke Screen is achieved using a ‘Suspension Kit’ comprising a length of unistrut, two sections of
threaded bar and fixings.
Suspension Kit Contents (all M8)
Unistrut 1 x 1 metre
Threaded bar 2 x 1 metre
1 x ceiling hole surround
2 x drop-in anchors
6 x full nuts
4 x 25mm washers
2 x 38mm washers
2 x channel nuts
Prepare the Smoke Screen by fitting
the angle brackets. Fix the required
length of M8 threaded bar to the
bracket using 4 x nuts and 4 x
25mm washers.
Fix the unistrut into place.
There are a range of fixings to
accommodate concrete ceiling,
girders etc. if in doubt contact the
fixing supplier.
Attach the threaded bar to the
unistrut using the channel nuts,
38mm washers and M8 nuts. Once
this is done the Smoke Screen can
be lifted into position and the set
screws tightened as above.
Any fine adjustments can be made
at this stage as the nuts and the
threaded bar will take the weight of
the Smoke Screen.
Any hole made in the ceiling below
can be made good with a cosmetic
hole surround.
Note: Final machine position should
allow an air gap ~50mm above
ceiling tile or when ducting.
2.5 NOZZLE CHANGING
To change the nozzle, first remove the front cover then remove and replace the nozzle using a 10mm ring spanner,
sealing it with PTFE tape and ensuring that an angled nozzle is seated in the correct orientation. The Smoke Screen is
delivered with a single-hole straight nozzle plus an extra 1-hole 30° angle down nozzle. The following are also
available – 2-hole horizontal, 3-hole horizontal, 1-hole 30° angle down and 2-hole 30° angle down.
Be aware of high voltage in the
block area. The electrical supply
should be switched off before
working in the heater block
compartment.
This operation is usually carried out
during installation. If the Smoke
Screen has been in service, the
nozzles will be extremely hot and will
cause injury if touched. Therefore, the
Smoke Screen should be switched off
and time should be allowed for the
nozzles to cool.
