Q: What is NRCAN Directive Letter #61 and is the Sentry 4 compliant?
A: NRCAN Directive Letter #61 outlines the introduction of new requirements for all explosives storage sites to have regular and recorded surveillance. Our Sentry 4 system is classified in the directive letter as a higher level electronic security (ES) system. Not only is our electronic security system compliant, we also have optional functionality that is not required but is highly recommended like our GPS extension.

Q: Is the device certified for use on our magazines?
A: Yes. the device and design was certified for attachment to your magazines by Franklin Laboratories. Our designs have gone through and passed independent explosive safety testing conducted and certified by the Franklin Applied Physics Laboratory. The devices pass IME-SLP 20 Safety guide for the prevention of radio frequency radiation hazards in the use of commercial electric detonators.
