The Sentry Gas Risk Management System offers a
cost-effective solution for a graphical based display
of Sentry data using a web browser and the Sentry
WebServer option.
Sierra Monitor Corporation offers a wide range of choices
for data output from Sentry Gas Monitoring systems. In
some cases a simple printer output of gas conditions, cali-
bration confirmations and alarms is satisfactory to meet
due diligence requirements. In large plant-wide monitoring
situations the Modbus serial communications output is
used to interface to existing or new GUI programs that
might include information from other safety and process
systems in the plant. But for most applications the solu-
tion lies between these two choices.
To meet that need Sierra Monitor Corporation offers the
Sentry WebServer. Sentry WebServer captures the imagi-
nation of safety managers and instrumentation engineers
by combining the power and flexibility of the Sentry Gas
Risk Management System with the interoperability strength
of the FieldServer WebServer from FieldServer Technolo-
gies. The reliability of a proven gas detection system is
combined with the modern technology of the web.
The WebServer package includes a Sentry display pre-
configured for a web browser enabling the user to operate
the Sentry system remotely from any PC connected to
the Ethernet! Imagine having the ability to manage your
plant-wide gas risk management system from anywhere
in the plant! Imagine having password protected access
to your primary gas safety monitoring system from the
control room, the safety manager’s office, or remotely!

The full system available from a single supplier
with an outstanding reputation for before and after
sales technical support
The WebServer provides a cost-effective, easy-to-use
graphical display of hazardous gas conditions using the
universally available Microsoft™ web-browser. It is no
longer necessary to search separately for a gas detection
system that might have a serial output and then search for
a suitable graphical user interface package that might work
with that system and then have to learn how to configure
and use the package or hire a consultant to do the work.
Now, a single source supplier, Sierra Monitor, can provide
the entire solution with a fully integrated system.
