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 thoughtful engineering of its new packaging and fully re-engineered user interface design brings new dimensions in leak test accuracy, flexibility, and value. It delivers flexible, multifunctional leak testing, with all common air leak test methods in ONE instrument! Use for pressure, flow, and vacuum testing methods, and even combine multiple methods using this one instrument.
Experience new dimensions of control, accuracy, and simplicity
The Sentinel IX5 with a new and improved UX makes it even easier to access the information and control you need to set up and manage your leak test. Swiftly navigate your leak test with an intuitive interface that simplifies programming with touchscreen and drag-and-drop functionality putting the power at your fingertips. Watch the video to see it for yourself.
Features built with manufacturers in mind
This new generation of Sentinel instrument was designed with manufacturers in mind. Informed by intensive research with CTS users, the Sentinel IX5 is designed to make leak testing simple and intuitive. Features and capabilities of the Sentinel IX5 include:
- All-new UX/UI: Simple, re-engineered touchscreen user interface, with simplified accessible menus, customizable screen view options, real-time visualized data, and more.
- Industry-first visual Test Sequence Creator: Easily tap, build, and visualize all steps in test sequences, preview and sequence a test before running it, and more.
- Designed for quick test setup: Use the new auto-test setup feature and simple test configuration UI flow for the smoothest, quickest leak test setup!
- Broadest range of leak test methods: Choose from 9 different test methods and combine multiple methods into one instrument.
- Better, faster leak test performance: Improved resolution and accuracy for shorter cycle times, automatically adjust for changes in temperature and pressure, advanced pressure control, and more.
- Unmatched value: Flexible instrument can be used for every common air leak test method, the instrument can replace a PLC to control test operations, and more.
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 flexible (X) model on the market, with the widest selection of leak test methods in one unit and many new plug-and-play capabilities.
Access all common air leak test methods—and combine methods—with ONE instrument
The Sentinel IX5 is built with the ultimate flexibility for your production line. Access pressure, flow, and vacuum leak test methods all in one instrument—and even combine methods as needed for your test—to get more out of your instrument. This flexibility makes it possible to test different product designs and models with one leak test instrument and makes it easy to scale production as your throughput goals evolve.

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 newly engineered design makes it easier and quicker to get things done, all with one user-friendly instrument. Benefits include:
- ✅ Test different product designs on your line with the same leak tester, serving all common air leak test methods in one
- ✅ Combine multiple tests, such as mass flow with differential pressure decay or mass flow with absolute pressure decay to get more out of your instrument
- ✅ Remove the need for the cost and maintenance of a PLC with the Sentinel IX5’s software-based control system
- ✅ Reduced setup and review time with auto-setup functions and visualized test data
- ✅ Improve operation accuracy and efficiency with user-friendly tuning interface for advanced pressure control and compensation features that automatically adjust for environmental changes in temperature and pressure
Advanced Leak Testing Features
Just a glimpse of the many extras designed to make the Sentinel IX5 your ultimate leak test solution.
Plug and Play
Barcode Scanning
With the use of USB barcode scanning the Sentinel IX5 will call up the appropriate test parameter for testing different part designs.
