2. Carefully set the Sentinel on top of the base so the (3) studs of the base pass through the
mounting holes on the bottom of the Sentinel.
3. Secure the Sentinel to the studs with the flat washer, lock washer and hex nut (in that order)
supplied with the base.
4. Pull the wires up through the cable entrance ports on the bottom of the Sentinel enclosure.
5. Verify the unit’s final position.
6. Use the dual-plane level to verify that the unit is level. Make appropriate adjustments if necessary.
7. Tighten the 3 nuts with the socket wrench. When this has been successfully completed, there
should be no movement of the case whatsoever.
3 Electrical Installation
3.1 Hardware Required
Unitec does not provide connectors for terminating the field-installed wires. These wires will vary by
application but connectors that may be required include:
• RJ-45 Modular Plugs (for terminating the CAT-5 network cable).
• BNC Connectors (for terminating coaxial cable for the camera options)
3.2 Recommended Tools
In addition to the mechanical mounting of the Sentinel unit to the base (and the base to the concrete),
there will be a number of electrical connections that must be made. These connections will require the
use of the following common electrical tools:
• Small, thin tipped, straight screwdriver (1/8” tip, for green Phoenix connectors)
• Wire strippers (capable of handling 10-23 AWG wire)
• Diagonal cutters
• Needle nose pliers
• Modular plug crimp tool (if CAT 5 or phone lines need to be terminated)
3.3 General
NOTE: Before starting, ensure all required wires have been routed to the Sentinel (as described in the Site
Preparation section).
The following figure shows the location inside the Sentinel where the field wires will connect.
