Service Sentinel (Patented Feature)
 
This feature offers protection for tenants and landlord against illegal boiler negligence in compliance with Gas safety Regulation 36.
 
Its not always easy to gain access to the boiler in tenanted properties. Un-authorised access or failing to comply with boiler safety regulations are both dangerous and costly.

Service Sentinel offers a solution to the problem by using Intelligent circuitry to interrupt usual programmer control after a pre-determined period of time. Normal tenant control of the boiler can only resume after an authorised engineer has performed the statutory boiler check, and reset the programmer with a unique recoding key.

Service Sentinel gives the tenant 4 weeks notice when the boiler check is due by flashing a “service” message on the LCD. The red status indicators for heating and hot water will also flash continually. This gives the tenant sufficient time to contact their landlord and arrange access.

If the boiler is not attended in time the Service Sentinel does not switch OFF the power supply to the boiler, instead it kicks into “set-back” mode reducing the temperature to approximately 10ºC ensuring the safety of both the tenant and property.

Simpro also gives you the option to switch between the programmed cycle to OFF or manual operation. When in manual mode, Simpro behaves as a standard room thermostat and controls the heating according to the comfort dial.
