Sentinel IX5:
Your Leak Test.
Light Years Ahead.
The Sentinel IX5 is the first in the new, fifth generation of the trusted Sentinel family of instruments. The redesigned user interface and expanded capabilities in test methods, digital I/O and tooling control deliver flexible, multifunctional testing with all common air testing methods (pressure decay, flow & functional) available in ONE instrument model! You can even combine multiple test technologies within a single instrument.
Experience new dimensions of setup & process visibility and operational simplicity
The Sentinel IX5 with its touchscreen UI makes it even easier to configure & manage your leak test. Navigate the simplified menu structure to quickly access program parameters, test results, counters, statistics and more. Watch the video to see it for yourself.
Features built with manufacturers in mind
This next-generation Sentinel instrument series was designed following extensive discussions with actual leak test equipment users and developed to make implementation and operation simple, intuitive and flexible. Key features of Sentinel IX5 include:
- All-new UX/UI: Re-engineered user experience including touchscreen HMI with simplified menus, customizable run-screen viewing options, real-time visualized data, and more.
- Industry-first Test Sequence Builder: Visually and intuitively design, edit and execute basic to complex tooling and test linking operations all in one place. See the Sentinel IX5 Brochure for details.
- Broadest range of test methods: Choose from a plethora of different test methods and combine multiple methods into one instrument.
- First of its kind, plug-and-play Sentinel Accessory Network: Easily enhance operation of your unit following installation with a series of available Sentinel Accessory Network compatible modules.
- Unmatched value: Extensive command I/O and tooling control capabilities are built-into each Sentinel IX5 to limit the need for user PLC in many circumstances, saving you time and money!
Introducing the new era of Sentinel instruments:
This new 5th generation of the Sentinel lineup represents a new era for leak testing on the manufacturing line. This fully re-engineered platform comes with a bold new look and so many new and enhanced capabilities! The new “IX5” model is designed to be the most easy-to-integrate (I) and advanced (X) model on the market, with the widest selection of test methods and many new plug-and-play accessories.
Access all mainstream air leak test methods—and even combine methods—with ONE instrument
The Sentinel IX5 is built with the ultimate flexibility for your production line. Select from pressure, mass flow, and functional test technologies all in one model—and even combine methods as needed to maximize use. This flexibility makes it possible to test multiple unique product designs with a single instrument and makes it easy to scale capabilities as your test requirements demand. Here are just a few of the test methods available (see the Sentinel IX5 Datasheet for details):
Test Options
- Absolute Pressure Decay Leak
- Differential Pressure Decay Leak
- Occlusion/Blockage
- Mass Flow Leak/Blockage Grading
- Differential Mass Flow Leak
- Volume Verify
- Part Pressure Verify
- Proof
- Burst Pressure
- Cracking Pressure
- External Input Initiated Event Pressure
The most user-friendly leak tester on the market—with an all-new UX/UI
We’ve taken the concept of user-friendly to the next level! The fully re-engineered user interface was developed based on intensive discussion with actual test instrument end users.
- Simplified, accessible menus: Simplified, intuitive UI/UX puts the power at your fingertips, quickly getting you the information you need when you need it.
- Customizable screen views: Personalize the interface to display the most relevant data for your needs.
- Test Sequence Builder: Intuitively manage a series of functions involving either/both tooling motions and multiple test sequences in a highly graphical environment.
- Real-time data access: View test result data and statistics in a new graphical format.
- Optimized operator views: Enhanced visibility of the test status through the vibrant lighting and onscreen status/result indications.

Get unmatched value and ROI out of your leak test platform
The flexibility and unique features of the Sentinel IX5 provide so much value in one cost-effective instrument. Everything about the new design makes it easier and quicker to get things done, all with one user-friendly instrument. Check out the Sentinel IX5 Brochure and Datasheet for more details. Benefits include:
- ✅ Test multiple different product designs on your line with the same leak tester, serving all common air leak test methods in one instrument.
- ✅ Combine multiple tests, such as mass flow with differential pressure decay or absolute pressure decay with mass flow, proof or burst to maximize usability.
- ✅ Remove the material and labor costs of incorporating a PLC with expandable digital I/O and tooling valves using the Sentinel IX5’s firmware-based Test Sequence Builder.
- ✅ Control & monitor your instruments remotely without added cost: CTSnet remote PC instrument management software is supplied at no charge
