approaching  wildfire  and  ember  
aGacks  
•  Pinpoints  the  locaIon  and  direcIon  
of  embers  and  wildfires  
•  ConInuous  real-­‐Ime  alerts  are  sent  
to  community  homeowners  and  
emergency  services

Flame™  Sniffer  Sentry  
Stand-­‐alone  beacon  that  warns  of  wildfire  and  ac4vates  defense  systems    
•  Sentries  are  posiIoned  around  a  home,  
surrounding  neighborhood  or  local  open  
wild-­‐land.  
•  Wildfire  and  ember  aGacks  are  detected  in  
real-­‐Ime.  
•  Instant  alerts  and  updates  are  sent:  
–  Online  Flame  Sniffer  Dashboard  
–  Email  
–  Smart  Phone  via  SMS  Text  
•  Current  condiIons  are  constantly  
monitored   FIRE  DEPARTMENT  
–  Temperature,  Smoke,  Infra-­‐Red   ANY  LAPTOP  

•  Defense  systems  are  automaIcally   SMART  PHONE  

acIvated.  
•  Fail-­‐safe,  fault-­‐tolerant  operaIon  including

Sentry  SpecificaIon  
•  Scope:   Stand-­‐alone,   configurable   wildfire   monitoring  
staIon  (“Sentry”)  that  is  part  of  a  meshed  network  of  
Sentries   that   transmit   real-­‐Ime   condiIons   to   a   Flame  
Sniffer™  Controller.  
•  Sensor  ImplementaIon:  Flame  Sniffer™  Sentries  use  4  
sensors  to  detect  ember  and  wildfire  aGacks:  
–  IonizaIon  Smoke  Sensor  
–  Photo  Electric  Smoke  Sensor  
–  Infrared  Heat  Sensor  
–  NaIonal  Semiconductor  lm26-­‐cim5  ic  Thermostat  
•  Transmission  Cycle:  Every  5  minutes  each  Sentry  scans  
it’s  sensors  and  transmits  their  status  along  with  a  test  
signal  to  the  Flame  Sniffer™  Controller.  
•  Alert  NoIficaIon:  If  any  sensor  is  acIvated  an  alert  is  
transmiGed  immediately  to  the  Controller  which  sends  
a  message  to  the  Flame  Sniffer™  server.  
•  Error  Management:    If  any  sensor  does  not  transmit  it’s  
test   code   in   7   minutes,   the   Sentry   will   send   a   failure  
signal  to  the  Controller.  
•  CommunicaIon:   InformaIon   from   a   Sentry   to   the  
Controller  is  via  Linx  RXM  at  916  MHZ.  
•  Power:   Three   AA   baGeries   supply   4.5   volts   power   to  
the  Sentry  which  provides  a  minimum  of  9-­‐12  months  
service.

Controller  SpecificaIon  
•  Scope:   Customized   microprocessor   control   unit   that  
interprets  Sentry  transmissions,  automaIcally  acIvates  
defense   systems   and   sends   alerts   to   specified  
recipients.  
•  FuncIons:  Flame  Sniffer™  Controller  funcIons  include:  
–  HTTP   Client   that   periodically   establishes   Ethernet  
connecIon   to   report   Controller   /   Sentry   status   and  
receive   instrucIons   from   homeowner   or   Flame   Sniffer  
Control  Center.  
–  Embedded   logic   that   provides   automated   acIvaIon   of  
defense  systems  based  upon  Sentry  transmissions.  
–  Embedded   logic   that   determines   if   periodic   dousing  
versus  full  defense  system  acIvaIon  is  required.  
–  HTTP   Server   provides   user   interface   for   remote   online  
control,  monitoring  and  remote  configuraIon.  
•  Alert   NoIficaIon:   If   any   Sentry   indicates   a   sensor   has  
been  acIvated,  the  Controller  will  immediately  send  a  
message  to  the  Flame  Sniffer™  server.  
•  Error  Management:    If  any  Sentry  does  not  transmit  it’s  
test  code  in  7  minutes,  the  Controller  will  send  a  failure  
signal  to  the  Flame  Sniffer™  Server.  
•  CommunicaIon:   InformaIon   from   a   Sentry   to   the  
Controller   is   via   Linx   RXM   at   916   MHZ.     Controller   is  
connected  through  exisIng  site  internet  connecIon.  
•  Power:  12  Volt  DC  baGery  with  a  110  Volt  trickle  feed  
charger.
