Usage Features
The Sentinel system offers a range of user-friendly features:
- System Arming:
- Press button 1 on the remote.
- Two high-pitched beeps confirm operation.
- Dome light turns ON for approx. 30 seconds.
- A 30-second delay allows exit before the alarm is fully armed.
- System Disarming:
- Press button 2 on the remote.
- Three high-pitched beeps confirm disarming.
- Dome light turns ON for approx. 30 seconds.
- System Arming without Internal Sensors (Pet Mode/Night Mode):
- Press button 3 on the remote.
- One high-pitched beep confirms arming with sensors excluded. This is useful for pets inside or when sleeping in the caravan.
- Tilt Sensor Exclusion:
- Arm the alarm as usual (button 1).
- Wait 4 seconds after the usual two beeps, then press button 3.
- Tilt sensor exclusion is confirmed by one beep.
- Note: Sensor exclusion is bound to a single arming cycle and will automatically be re-enabled the next time the alarm is armed.
- Awning Light Control:
- Arming/disarming the alarm activates the awning light for 30 seconds.
- Press button 4 on the remote to activate the light for 5 minutes before it automatically turns off.
- Note: Typically, awning light control is only possible with factory installations.
- Tilt Sensor Adjustment:
- The tilt sensor sensitivity is factory set to trigger an alarm if the vehicle is tilted at an angle of approx. 1.5 degrees.
- To adjust: Simultaneously press buttons 1 and 2 on the remote. Two 'Bops' confirm entry into 'Adjustment Mode'.
- Press button 2 once to increase tilt angle to 3.5 degrees (confirmed by 1 beep).
- Press button 2 again to increase tilt angle to 7 degrees (confirmed by 1 beep).
- Press button 2 once more to increase tilt angle to 14 degrees (confirmed by 1 beep).
- To exit adjustment mode: Simultaneously press buttons 1 and 2.
- Pairing New Devices:
- Press the LEARN button 5 times in a row within 5 seconds.
- Each press generates a single beep, and then two final beeps confirm the system is in pairing mode for the next 30 seconds.
- Press one of the new remote buttons or trigger the sensor to be paired. A single beep confirms the new device is added.
- To exit pairing mode, press the LEARN button once.
- Online Portal (Your Portal):
- Login to view subscription information, last known location (map), battery information, vehicle details (name, make, model, reg, alt), breakdown cover, insurance details, and service details.
- View mileage history graphs and battery history reports.
- Submit support tickets and view past support tickets.
- Mobile App (Our App):
- Available on Apple Appstore and Google Play Store.
- Provides an overview of account information, subscription dates, and vehicle info.
- Displays the vehicle's current location on a map.
- Shows battery voltage.
- View mileage history and battery history graphs.
- Shield Function: Enables movement notifications. When enabled, a notification is sent if the vehicle moves. Can be enabled/disabled from the app.
- Service Mode: Temporarily disables alarm and low power alerts. Useful for maintenance or when the caravan is being moved by others.
- Viewers: Allows granting access to others (friends/family) to monitor vehicle location and tracking device settings (Shield, Service Mode).

Maintenance Features
The document outlines several maintenance-related aspects:
- Battery Replacement (PIR Sensor):
- When remote batteries are weak, the blue LED will flicker/flash when arming or disarming.
- Replace CR2032 batteries. Instructions show how to detach the cover and replace the batteries.
- The PIR battery running low will trigger a secondary "bop" sound after the usual arming 2 beeps of the siren.
- Battery Monitoring (Caravan Battery):
- The online portal and app display the current battery voltage of the caravan.
- Battery history reports (3, 7, or 30 days) help monitor voltage, identify power drains, assess solar panel effectiveness, and predict when recharging is needed.
- System Checks: The 'Pro3' system checks into the central server twice a day, every day, reporting its position and battery level.
- Remote Monitoring: Users can check the van's current battery level and a historical 30-day graph of voltage levels to ensure longer battery life.
