The Sentinel 100 provides a new level of electrical fault detection, identification and location in a compact, fully-engineered design ideal for integration
South Jordan, UT (March 8, 2017) — LiveWire Innovation, Inc. (“LiveWire”), a technology company that is the exclusive provider of Spread Spectrum Time Domain Reflectometry (SSTDR) announced the availability of the Sentinel 100, the first in a line of board-level 24/7 monitoring products. The Sentinel 100 or simply “S100” provides a new level of electrical fault detection, identification and location.
The ability of LiveWire’s SSTDR to operate on live systems without interfering with the host system enables system and infrastructure operators to maximize operational availability and safety, while also reducing maintenance costs. Embedded and continuous monitoring also enables preemptive action through the collection of valuable baseline data that can be used to help predict and prevent outages.
The S100 is a fully-engineered, credit card-sized SSTDR “engine” that enables OEMs and integrators to embed the capability to detect absolute faults, such as short and open circuits, and hard-to-detect intermittent and developing events, such as arc faults, within their service infrastructure. SSTDR was first deployed in military avionics, with its tricky operating environment notorious for intermittent faults resulting in costly “No Fault Found (NFF)” conditions.
The embedded features of the Sentinel product line are particularly relevant for mission critical infrastructures such as Utilities, Rail, Aviation and Industrial Automation, where uninterrupted operation, age and harsh conditions can lead to safety risks, unplanned downtime and engineering expense.
LiveWire expects to release the next in the line of Sentinel products, slated as the Sentinel 300, in the Summer of 2017. The Sentinel 300, with a similar small form factor for ease of integration, is designed to address Three Phase industrial power applications.
