channel silence monitor. All four stereo inputs are balanced and feature pluggable
screw terminal-block and StudioHub+ compatible RJ45 inputs wired in parallel for
ease of wiring. Each stereo input can be configured for out of phase monitoring in
addition to silence monitor or the input may be configured to act as two separate
mono channels, allowing the user to monitor up to a total of eight different mono
audio sources.
The Audio Sentinel® 4 >> Web can be configured and monitored locally and/or
remotely over any IP network, including private networks, IP-based industrial con-
trol networks, and the Internet. Users can operate the product using a desktop web
browser or web-enabled mobile device. Email notification may be configured to
alert up to eight recipients when silence or out of phase audio is detected. SMTP
username and passwords using STARTTLS or Base64 authentication are supported.
Logging of system status, along with the site ID may be emailed in time spans from
once an hour to once a day. SNMP traps and SET/GET to allow multiple units to be
monitored and configured with SMNP management software.

INSTALLATION
Inspection
Please examine your Audio Sentinel® 4 carefully for any damage that may have
been sustained during shipping. If any damage is noted, please notify the shipper
immediately and retain the packaging for inspection by the shipper. The package
should contain the Audio Sentinel® 4, a 7-foot BLUE straight-through CAT 5 cable,
a 7-foot GRAY crossover CAT 5 cable and a 9 VDC wall power supply. Manuals
may be downloaded from our web site.
Installation
The Audio Sentinel® 4 is configured and monitored over Ethernet using its web
browser interface. The slow blinking front panel “Power” LED indicates valid
power and proper operation. The front panel is also equipped with LED’s (alarm and
activity) to indicate silence alarm, out of phase alarm or valid activity audio for input
each channel.
Surge Protection
The Audio Sentinel® 4 has built-in resistance to voltage changes; we recommend
that you use a power surge protector or line conditioner on the incoming AC line.
Lightning strikes and/or other high voltage surges may damage your Audio
Sentinel® 4 and connected equipment if it is not properly protected. For lightning
protection devices, check out www.polyphaser.com and www.itwlinx.com.
UPS Standby Power System
We recommend that you connect your Audio Sentinel® 4 to a UPS system. A UPS
helps minimize the risk to the Audio Sentinel® 4 and provides AC power during a
power outage.
POWER, 9 VDC connector
Connect the 2.1mm barrel type power connector into the unit and the 9 VDC uni-
versal switching power supply with domestic AC connector into a 120 Vac 50-60 Hz
power source.
NOTE: Never use any type of power supply other than the specified/supplied
power supply.
LED Indicators
• “Power” LED: Flashes when power is applied and operational. (Green)
• “Activity” LEDs: Lit when the input channel audio is above the silence alarm
threshold. (Green)
• “Alarm” LEDs: Lit when the input is in silence alarm, or stereo out of phase
alarm (if enabled) (Red)
CAUTION!
Installation of the
Audio Sentinel® 4 in
high RF environments
should be performed
with care. The station
ground should be con-
nected to the “Chs
Gnd” chassis ground
screw.

Power LED. To reset the unit to default settings, apply power and wait for the Power
LED to begin flashing normally then hold down the defaults button for 10 seconds.
Releasing the defaults button will trigger a reset to defaults.
Audio Input Connections
The Audio Sentinel 4 has four stereo silence sensors each of which can be config-
ured for dual mono operation giving the unit up to eight mono silence sensors. The
audio input connections are made on the back of the unit via 5-position pluggable
screw terminal blocks and StudioHub+ compatible RJ45 inputs. Each input has a
terminal block connector and a RJ45 connector, which are wired in parallel, allow-
ing one connector format or the other to be used on a per input basis.
For unbalanced inputs, connected the high side of the source to the (+) positive input
and the shield along with a jumper between the “–” input and GND terminals. Proper
phasing must be observed.
RJ45 Pinout
The input and output RJ45 jacks conform to StudioHub+ wiring standards.
Please use shielded twisted pair Cat5e or Cat6 cables and connectors (STP).
