Setting up the Sentry LX

Before installing the Sentry LX into your system, please first install
the provided battery into the back of the Sentry LX. The battery
stores the data and settings for the Sentry LX.

Installing the Sentry LX

The Sentry LX requires dual 5.25” bays, simply slide the panel in
from the front of your chassis and secure the device via screw less
mechanisms or screw. A 4pin power connection is needed to power
the Sentry LX, be sure to make this connection before booting up
your system.

Setting up the fans and probes

Sentry LX can support up to 5 fans, please make sure the fans on
your chassis come with 3pin connections. The Sentry LX also comes
with 5 temperature probes.

1. Make

sure

your system is off before making any

connections.

2. Connect the 3pin connection on the Sentry LX to the

fans on your chassis

3. Note the stickers on the 3pin connections correspond to

the number on the meter display

It is recommended that the user tape the temperature probes near
the corresponding fans (i.e. Fan 1 is near Temp 1 probe), this
optimizes the Auto mode where the fan is automatically controlled.

Auto/Manual Fan Speed Settings

The Sentry LX controls fans in two modes, pushing the “MODE”
button changes between these two:

Automatic Mode: The Sentry LX will adjust the fan speed

according to the temperature in your system; this is the best for
users who are looking to operate without hassle.

Manual Mode: The Sentry LX gives the users the option to

control individual fans and save the settings to memory. Please
follow the instructions below.
