Audio Sentinel®+ Streaming Installation and Operation Manual
OVERVIEW
Product Overview
The AUDIO SENTINEL + STREAMING is a web-enabled two channel stereo
silence monitor combined with a transparent, integrated stereo audio switcher, and
MP3 streaming codec for confidence monitoring over the internet. AUDIO SENTINEL + STREAMING is designed to monitor two balanced or unbalanced independent stereo analog audio sources and switch to a back-up analog audio source
when silence is detected on either or both input channels. The AUDIO SENTINEL
+ STREAMING may also be configured for independent dual-stereo non-switching
applications. The AUDIO SENTINEL + STREAMING can be controlled and monitored locally and/or remotely over any IP network, including private networks, IPbased industrial control networks, and the Internet. Users can operate the product
using a web browser or web-enabled mobile device. Email notifications may be
configured to alert up to 8 recipients when alarms are detected. The user may also
enable a sound effect to play on their PC speaker when an alarm is generated while
logged in. Logging of system status, along with the site ID may be emailed in time
spans from once an hour to once a day. Two SPDT relays are supplied to indicate
which input channel is feeding the output, while two open collector outputs are provided to indicate input alarm status.
Features/Benefits
• Built-in web server provides simple, web based notification, monitoring, configuration, control.
• Internal silence sensor with front panel activity and alarm LED indicators.
• MP3 streaming codec for web based output audio confidence monitoring.
• Front panel, remote, and web-based switcher controls.
• Silence trip level detection from -24dB to -35dB in 1 dB steps for each stereo
channel.
• Precise alarm time delay from 0(OFF) to 65535 seconds (18 hours, 12 min and
15 sec’s). in one-second increments for each channel.
• Alarm restore time delay from 0(OFF) to 65535 seconds (18 hours, 12 min and
15 sec’s). in one-second increments for each channel.
• Email notification may be configured to alert up to EIGHT recipients when
alarms are detected.
• Email logging of system status, along with the site ID may be emailed in time
spans from once an hour to once a day.
• Support for STARTTLS secure SMTP authentication (Gmail.)
• Removable euroblock-style screw terminal connectors simplify wiring and
service. Mating
• plugs are supplied.

Inspection
Please examine your AUDIO SENTINEL + STREAMING carefully for any damage that may have been sustained during shipping. If any damage is present, please
notify the shipper immediately and retain the packaging for inspection by the shipper. The package should contain the AUDIO SENTINEL + STREAMING, and a +/15 VDC wall power supply with domestic connector. Manuals may be downloaded
from our web site.
Installation
Surge Protection
The AUDIO SENTINEL + STREAMING 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 + STREAMING 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 + STREAMING to a
UPS system. A UPS helps minimize the risk to the AUDIO SENTINEL + STREAMING and provides power during a power outage.

• “Pwr/HB” LED: Illuminates when power is applied and flashes to indicate
microprocessor operation. (Green)
• “EXT” LED: Lit when EXTernal alarm input is active. (Yellow)
• “SS1” LED: Lit when silence is detected on Input 1. (Red)
• “SS2” LED: Lit when silence is detected on Input 2. (Red)
• “Auto” LED: Lit when in automatic switching mode, in manual mode when not
lit. (Green)
• “Enable” LED: Illuminates when the front panel enable push button option is enabled.
• “ON” LEDs: Lit when input is routed to output. (Green)
• “ACT” LEDs: Lit when input audio is above threshold. (Yellow)
Front Panel Controls
“1” and “2” pushbuttons: Used to select which input is routed to the output when in
Manual mode. Each push button has an associated LED indicator, which will illuminate when that particular channel is selected. When a channel is selected, the previous channel is deselected (interlock).
“Auto” pushbutton: Used to toggle between automatic and manual switching modes.
“Enable” pushbutton: The enable (safety) push button can be enabled to require the
user to hold down the enable push button while selecting any of the other front panel
push buttons, the enable LED is illuminated when this function is enabled
Audio Input Connections
Connect your audio sources to either of the two stereo balanced channels. 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. Single
(monaural) input sources should have their left and right inputs connected in parallel. Proper phasing must be observed.
Audio Output Connections
Connect the load to the terminals labeled “OL–/+ CM and OR–/+ CM. For
unbalanced loads, use the “+” and GND terminals only. Shields should be tied to
the “GND” terminals.
NOTE: The switching function is not required for proper ope

Remote Control Input Connections
The Audio Sentinel + Streaming has for four remote control inputs that and accept momentary contact closures, open collector, or TTL/CMOS input logic levels. Each input is pulled
high (5-volts) through a 22K resistor and is considered active/on when pulled low to ground.
For example; pulsing the “RM2” input to ground would switch the Audio Sentinel +
Streaming to Input 2 when in Manual switching mode.
The “RME” (external) can be configured for either toggle or sustained closure control. In
toggle mode each time this input is pulled to ground, the unit toggles between channels one
and two. In sustained mode the RME input will immediately trigger and switch to the backup source. This may be used to monitor STL or satellite squelch relay, etc.
Each remote control channel is pulled high (5-volts) through a 22K resistor.
Relay and Open Collector Connections
The K1, K2 and K3 SPDT relays provide switch position tallies for the Audio Sentinel +
Streaming. K1 is closed when Input 1 is switched to the output, K2 is closed when input 2
is switched to the output.
The Audio Sentinel + Streaming has two open collector outputs that are used to indicate
input silence alarm status. The SS1 OC indicates for Input 1 and the SS2 OC indicates for
Input 2. The open collector output will go low providing a return for an LED indicator,
TTL/CMOS logic or relay. External pull-up resistors may be required in some installations,
voltages must be limited to 6 VDC at 600 mA.
LAN / NET Jack
RJ45 Ethernet jack for 10/100baseT LAN/WAN connection.
MicroSD Card Slot
MicroSD memory card slot. Used for file storage and software updates via user-supplied
MicroSD card.
Chassis Ground (Chs Gnd)
Tie to station ground system.
Power
Connect the supplied PS-1515 +/-15 VDC switching power supply’s 3-pin AMP-style latching power connector to the unit and the power supply with domestic connector into a 120
Vac 50-60 Hz power source. International AC input power plug adapters are optional.
NOTE: Never use any type of power supply other than the specified/supplied
power supply.
