UTC SENTINEL

Transform your restrooms with Water Matrix’s UTC Sentinel—automating urinal flushing for a cleaner, smarter, and more efficient experience!

WHY Choose the UTC Sentinel®?

Effective Urinal Flushing Automation for

New Construction, Flush Valve Retrofit & Urinal Tank Retrofit

The UTC Sentinel® flushing system assists with water conservation in commercial settings where urinal banks have been installed. The UTC control box is triggered by a motion sensor and flushes the urinal bank at specified intervals to decrease water usage. UTC can be installed on either tank or in-line (tankless) urinal systems. 

The motion sensor is capable to capture activity of up to six urinals along a straight wall. In locations with additional units or where a urinal bank wraps around a corner, an additional motion sensor can be connected to the control unit.

Also perfect for trap seal primer applications!

MAIN UTC SENTINEL COMPONENTS:

In-depth research and design along with leading edge technology has produced a sophisticated unit capable of controlling multiple urinals simultaneously. Easy push button programming and a large LED display add to user convenience. Flexible programming options allow for settings to accommodate any washroom environment. It can be remotely mounted in any convenient location out of the view of washroom patrons, including adjacent rooms, utility closets or on the ceiling. The controller displays a continuous operational status and tracks the number of flushes to aid in consumption analysis. The controller is assembled following ISO 9001 protocols in one of the most modern electronic facilities in the world.

Specifications: Programmable Control Unit Utilizes class 2 transformer. Input: 120 V AC/60 Hz/35 W. Output: 24V DC/1.2 Amps

Programmable Control Unit

The UTC Sentinel® includes a high-quality passive infrared motion sensor which continuously monitors the urinals for use. The sensor activation range can be “fine tuned” to ensure activation only after urinal use, eliminating false flushes. This sensor can be surface mounted on the ceiling or recessed for increased vandal resistance.

Specifications: Motion Sensor 16V DC @50mA rating. Normally closed operation. Infrared motion sensing.

Passive Infrared Motion Sensor

The UTC Sentinel® utilizes a high-quality solenoid valve. Its slow activation feature eliminates water hammering. Extra-long service life and low maintenance are features of the heavy-duty design and construction. The solenoid valve is installed in the main urinal supply line for new construction and flush valve retrofits, or in the tank for urinal tank retrofits.

Specifications: Valve 6W rating. 24V DC @250mA, encapsulated construction

Benefits of the Water Matrix UTC SENTINEL ® System

  • Eliminates odor problems and drain degradation due to lack of flushing

  • Drastically reduces water consumption associated with urinal tank operation

  • Offers safe low voltage operation

  • Meets all current conservation plumbing codes

  • Provides six modes of operation, including three test modes

  • Counts the number of cycles since installation

The UTC Sentinel® is designed to automate urinal flushing and utilizes water for flushing in the most effective manner. Programmable delay options and controlled flushing based on patterns of urinal use make the UTC Sentinel® the most cost effective solution available. The UTC Sentinel® :

How the Water Matrix UTC SENTINEL ® Works?

The UTC Sentinel® system monitors the area immediately in front of the urinals with a single passive infrared motion sensor. When motion is detected in front of the urinals, a pre-selected count-down begins. At the end of the count-down, the system activates a solenoid valve. The valve opens and starts the flow of water to the urinals or urinal tank. The valve closes once the pre-selected flush time has elapsed. The urinals have now been flushed either directly or through the emptying of the urinal tank. The system is reset to begin this cycle again upon its next activation.

The UTC Sentinel® prevents unnecessary flushing during period when urinals are not used. An additional feature allows the system to auto-flush by a programmable time that should be set to no greater than 24 hours of inactivity to meet today’s plumbing code for electronic valves. This ensures that urinal traps remain primed.

All settings on the system are programmable to accommodate any washroom environment or traffic pattern. A delay setting is used to maximize savings by allowing more than one urinal to be used before flushing.
