Sentinel IX5 : Your Leak Test. Light Years Ahead.
The Sentinel IX5 is the first in the new, fifth generation of the trusted Sentinel family of instruments. The thoughtful engineering of its new packaging and fully re-engineered user interface design brings new dimensions in leak test accuracy, flexibility, and value. It delivers flexible, multifunctional leak testing, with all common air leak test methods in ONE instrument! Use for pressure, flow, and vacuum testing methods, and even combine multiple methods using this one instrument.
Experience new dimensions of control, accuracy, and simplicity
The Sentinel IX5 with a new and improved UX makes it even easier to access the information and control you need to set up and manage your leak test. Swiftly navigate your leak test with an intuitive interface that simplifies programming with touchscreen and drag-and-drop functionality putting the power at your fingertips. Watch the video to see it for yourself.
Features built with manufacturers in mind
This new generation of Sentinel instrument was designed with manufacturers in mind. Informed by intensive research with CTS users, the Sentinel IX5 is designed to make leak testing simple and intuitive. Features and capabilities of the Sentinel IX5 include:.
- All-new UX/UI: Simple, re-engineered touchscreen user interface, with simplified accessible menus, customizable screen view options, real-time visualized data, and more.
- Industry-first visual Test Sequence Creator: Easily tap, build, and visualize all steps in test sequences, preview and sequence a test before running it, and more.
- Designed for quick test setup: Use the new auto-test setup feature and simple test configuration UI flow for the smoothest, quickest leak test setup!
- Broadest range of leak test methods: Choose from 9 different test methods and combine multiple methods into one instrument.
- Better, faster leak test performance: Improved resolution and accuracy for shorter cycle times, automatically adjust for changes in temperature and pressure, advanced pressure control, and more.
- Unmatched value: Flexible instrument can be used for every common air leak test method, the instrument can replace a PLC to control test operations, and more
Access all common air leak test methods—and combine methods—with ONE instrument
The Sentinel IX5 is built with the ultimate flexibility for your production line. Access pressure, flow, and vacuum leak test methods all in one instrument—and even combine methods as needed for your test—to get more out of your instrument. This flexibility makes it possible to test different product designs and models with one leak test instrument and makes it easy to scale production as your throughput goals evolve.
