Entry Sentry™ is an unrivalled solution for monitoring of confined space/high hazard work area management.

The Entry Sentry™ system reduces the requirement for individual ‘Standby’ or ‘Hole Watcher’ duties, providing increased visibility of the confined space, incorporating alarm systems, CCTV, access control, gas detection monitoring and ventilation monitoring.

Each project is planned and scoped to the client’s requirement prior to installation phase, including full scoping document provision, which lists inventory requirements, locations, labour structure and emergency arrangements.

Additional specialist monitoring equipment can be integrated into the system if required, such as thermal imaging and temperature monitoring.

Features

Digital Monitoring Panel
A state of the art intuitive control panel is used to monitor conditions in the space, video streams, alarm conditions and gas levels. The Control Panel Operator (C.P.O.) on duty will constantly monitor entrants in multiple areas/ confined spaces for their safety. The C.P.O. will deal with alert and alarm conditions according to the protocol agreed with the client.

Entry Point
The Entry Point incorporates a tag-in/out station, gives an indication of permit live/ not live status, and takes in the data from the CCTV cameras, intercom, gas detection and alarm system, before feeding it to the control room server system, via hard-wire or high powered wireless antennas.

Alarm System
The alarm system features an audible and visual beacon which can be activated by the alarm button in the confined space or by the control panel operator should an alarm condition arise.

Airtrack Gas and Environmental Condition Monitoring
The Airtrack device will monitor for typical confined space gases such as Flammables, Carbon Monoxide, Hydrogen Sulphide and Oxygen, with some additional special gases can be monitored also. In addition to these, the Airtrack has the capability with the Airtrack Special variant to monitor for temperature, humidity, pressure, air flow and other variables. See Airtrack™ for more information.

Intercom
The intercom allows for the entrants to contact the C.P.O. for both emergencies and non-emergencies.

Cameras
Cameras are used to monitor the safety of entrants at all times, both entering and once inside the confined space

AI PPE Detection
An additional AI PPE detection module is available for automatic detection of the required PPE, which further reduces the likelihood of human error.

Fully Managed System
A fully managed system means that install, test and deployment is all managed by competent engineers under a proven system of work.

Additional Controlled Area Access/Egress
A hierarchical approach to the Entry Sentry system means that access to controlled site areas prior to confined space entry, can also be monitored successfully in the same integrated platform.

Block Tag Stations
These are entry stations purely for access control into areas which are confined spaces such as plant blocks, for personnel accountability and safe plant evacuations.
