Danger: To help prevent severe personal injury or death:
•Read and understand instructions completely before beginning
installation.
•
Wiring must be installed by a qualified electrician according to
local and National Electrical Codes (N.E.C.)
•
Disconnect main power before beginning installation! Verify
that power is OFF at the main breaker or fuse panel by testing
with a voltage meter that you know is working correctly.
•
Connect power only after motor connections and settings are
verified.
•This equipment does not provide a method to shut off power,
and should be connected to a dedicated breaker or fused
power circuit capable of providing 1 amp at 120 VAC of power
per skylight unit.
•The screen interlock MUST be correctly installed and is a
required part of the power skylight system. It is intended to
help prevent injury that could result from reaching into the
skylight area during operation. The correct installation of the
screen interlock is the responsibility of the installer. (The
screen interlock is not required on skylights installed more
than 8 feet above the floor.)
•Do not allow children to operate the wall switch push buttons
or remote control transmitter(s).
Additional Safety Guidelines
•When connecting the Sentry II system to accessories, read the
installation instructions supplied with each accessory before
beginning installation.
•
The Sentry II system is intended for indoor use only, with
screens in place.
•This product has been designed to open and close skylights
and awning windows only. Any other use of this product is not
supported by Truth Hardware.
•Save ALL instructions. Additional copies can be downloaded
off of our web site at: truth.com\technicalsupport
•
Installer – please be sure to give ALL instructions to the
homeowner once installation is complete.

What You Should Know Before Starting
Languages: This installation booklet is available in French and Spanish on our
web site at www.truth.com/technicalsupport.
Supply Voltage Note: The supply voltage range for the Sentry II power skylight
system is very flexible to accommodate supply voltages available from many
different countries. The input (supply) voltage range is 90 to 264 VAC at a
frequency range of 47 to 440 Hz. For practical purposes, the supply voltage
referenced in this document is 120 volts at 60 Hz commonly used in the United
States.
Operating Environment: The operating temperature range must be maintained
between 140º F (60º C) to -5º F (-20º C).
Single motor vs. multiple (synchronous) motor application: Most
applications of the Sentry II HS system will be a single motor on a single skylight.
However, the Sentry II HS motor system can be used in a number of different
applications depending on the size and weight of your skylight lid. The skylight
lid must weigh less than 160 lbs. (80 lbs. at the chain) for a single motor
installation. If your skylight lid is heavier than 160 lbs., multiple motors (up to 4)
can be used to lift a single skylight lid. The maximum skylight weight for 4
motors is 400lbs. This is called a synchronous motor application. Please refer to
page 29 for the details of this installation.
Multiple motors on separate skylights: There is a way of wiring several
motors on different skylights together so that they all will respond to one wall
switch or one HPI input. Please refer to page 28 for the details of this
installation.

Planning
Important: If you are not the homeowner, it is important to contact the
homeowner and discuss how they want to control a group of skylights. It may be
very difficult to change the installation to meet the homeowner’s desires once
installation is complete.
Please consider:
•In case of a power outage the Sentry II power skylight system does not
have manual override. If it is important to be able to close the skylights
without power, consider installing a battery back-up system.
•There are a number of other control options available:
oRemote Control Has Built-in Thermostat for those applications
where it is desirable to open and close skylights based on
temperature. Just set the temperature and place the remote in the
area where you want the temperature controlled. Every Sentry II
HS unit is remote control enabled.
oA Rain Sensor comes standard with each unit. If you choose to
install the rain sensor, each control unit needs a separate rain
sensor. Consult main wiring diagram for wiring requirements.
oPower mini blinds -The Sentry II control unit is capable of
controlling power mini blinds (supplied by others). See page 20 for
additional information. Consult main wiring diagram for wiring
requirements.
oSkylight position feedback -The Sentry II control unit is capable
of providing skylight position feedback (open or closed). See page
20 for additional information. Consult main wiring diagram for
wiring requirements.
oIntegrated control with other control systems - The Sentry II
power skylight system can be integrated with other automated
control systems. Some examples are home automation systems,
thermostats and security systems. See the HPI section on page 18
for additional information. Consult main wiring diagram for wiring
requirements if used.
•Plan your circuits based on 1 amp of power at 120 VAC per motor unit.
•The primary means of skylight control is the remote control. An optional
wall mounted switch panel is available if required.
oIf installing a wall mounted switch panel – See main wiring diagram
for wiring details. Plan your wiring routes carefully. Low voltage
wires must not be run parallel to high voltage wires.

Motor Installation
Please Note: If the chain base and motor unit are pre-installed on the skylight,
skip to step 7.
1. Verify Skylight Weight
Important Skylight Information:
•The skylight lid weight must not exceed 80 lbs. (36 kg) at the chain.
•If over 80 lbs. or wider than 40” refer to the Synchronous Motor
section of the manual.
2. Install Chain Base
•Remove existing manual operator and/or chain base if present.
•Install the chain base included with the kit (even if the current unit appears
to be the same).
•Secure chain base to skylight frame with #10 screws (not supplied) in the
locations shown. Where possible, reuse the fasteners used by the
skylight manufacturer.
•Secure vent bracket to skylight vent.
Important: Check chain, vent bracket and lid alignment to ensure smooth
operation. Adjust mounting positions as needed.
Chain carries ½ of total lid weight
80 lbs. max

3. Install the Control Box
DANGER: 120 VAC supply power must be off until instructed to turn it on.
•Remove high voltage protection cover.
•Install Hit-Loc strain relief as shown.
•Route 120 VAC supply wiring through the rear inlet and strain relief on
control box.
•Install the motor control box by aligning the tabs on the box with the
notches on the chain base.
•Use (2) #10 X ¾ Phillips Pan Head Machine screws in the locations
shown.
Strain Relief
Hook tabs over
edge of base.

4. Install Motor Drive onto Chain Base
•Install the motor drive onto the chain base, being sure to align the hex
drive with the hole in the 5 pointed drive sprocket. Once the motor is fully
engaged with the chain base the control box is effectively locked into the
chain base/motor drive assembly.
•
Secure with (4) #12-24 X 5/8” Ph FH Machine Screws in the locations
shown.
5. Install Motor Drive Cable
Connect motor drive cable to the control unit as shown in the diagram.
Important: The female connector on the end of the wire harness must be
properly oriented with the male connector on the control unit or the motor
system will not work.
