2 What is? - Critical Infrastructure Protection is a range of water protection technology protecting 80% of the UK s potable drinking water. Our portfolio uses a range of sophisticated sensors to protect various assets. The sensors combined with intelligent analytics assess triggered events and distinguish between genuine attacks and false alarms. Our hardwire solution is fully CPNI approved, making it an optimal solution for enhanced water sites. The hardwire system also fully complies with ACPO guidelines for a guaranteed armed police response to attack. Our intelligent analytics provide a very high immunity to false alarms reducing risks, operation costs and maintenance overheads significantly. Why? High Immunity to false alarms Our advanced analytics technology is able to distinguish and recognising false alarms triggered by environmental factors (such as wildlife and weather). The system analyses the information from surrounding hatch sensors and uses seismic recognition algorithms to determine whether a genuine attack is taking place or the triggered event is an environmental occurrence. The hardwired hatch protection system also features audio verification, allowing for remote dial-in access to listen to alarm triggers taking place. Highest Grade Materials We insist on using only the highest grade materials for every component including the screws, bolts, brackets, casing and seals. As a result our switches and enclosures pass the most stringent and long lasting tests. Similar, cheaper alternatives may appear to offer the same quality but won t last the course! Efficient Power Our (Radio) and CellSense () Sensors make use of our specialist ability to provide outstanding battery and solar power efficiency. Our wireless sensors have an active battery life of up to two years. We recommend that these batteries be replaced annually to ensure maximum reliability. Most other wireless hatch protection systems require battery changes far more frequently. Wireless Solutions We also offer a range of wireless hatch protection solutions using FM radio and communications. Our FM radio solutions are based on our military grade CobWeb Intruder Detection Systems which we have been providing to the UK and US Special Forces for more than a decade. Our unique approach of encoding and decoding radio transmissions across a wide range of channels and spectrums make for very secure radio communications. Sharing our know how Sentinor now provide accredited training to all named installation and maintenance partners as part of our new 2014/2015 strategy. Partner Engineers are trained in the capabilities and maintenance of our hatch protection systems. Every trained engineer will possess an accreditation card, allowing them to correctly install and maintain systems in particular Water utility regions. Each accreditation card has an expiry date of two years; this guarantees that each engineer is retrained every two years to ensure they are providing the best possible support in the field. We also provide solar powered technology for remote location sites or sites that are sensitive to the environmental effects of high power usage.

Full end-end solution compliance with HMG standards is achievable by deploying those systems along with suitable alarm verification - for example including sequential sensors, audio, video or image capture along with dual, separate, communications paths. All of those solutions can be provided with Sentinor s tested and approved Enhanced or Basic Sensors including lift, magnetic, seismic and float sensor components as required to meet local requirements. CellSense does not include an analytics module but does support the full complement of tested and approved lift, magnetic, seismic and float sensor options.

4 TankWeb 3+ Analyser Universal Interface Card Perimeter TankWeb Fixed Infrastructure Protection Single seismic & acoustic sensor cable Audio & CCTV verification Door or gate access sensor Cable cut & break detection Battery back-up & low battery warning Sentinor working in partnership with utility companies across the UK have developed a double knock alarm system for use on above ground fabricated tanks. The system is known as the TankWeb protection system. Although the name suggests that this type of protection is only for tanks, the versatility of this technology means it can be easily integrated to protect any type of Fixed Infrastructure. The system is approved for UK Government Use (for details contact CPNI) as well as being accepted for use under Op Submarine. Op Submarine is the agreed Police and Water Protocol for providing a Police response to an intruder alarm activation at an Enhanced Service reservoir site. The system consists of two parts; a passive seismic detector cable connected directly to the structure and an acoustic sensor module that provides the detection analytics. Should the sensing cable be cut or become damaged, the system is designed to alarm. The system can be installed unobtrusively to most potable water tanks or structures using non-destructive fixing methods. It is fully configurable and interfaces directly with the Analyser. It also utilises secondary attack verification via the Analyser through Audio Verification. Furthermore the system is easily integrated into existing third-party alarm and security systems. Features: Telemetry alarm triggered response Under 16 seconds verified response Solar panel version available Connects to Analyser Approved for UK Government use Easy setting system Accepted for use under Op Submarine The installation and use of TankWeb is to be in accordance with the relevant parts of AN/8A and Op Submarine respectively.
