Sentinel working mode

Because of it’s large, 360 degree visible, red alarm top, the instrument can be suspended in a hazardous area to provide protection to
more than one person. Used in this way, all personnel in the vicinity will be able to observe the change in visual flash rate should an
alarm occur.
This method eliminates both the requirement for multi-headed devices traditionally used in the past, or for additional units in order to
achieve sentinel working.
