Sentinel (10601) — 6-Gang IP67 Waterproof Touch Switch Panel

Sentinel — where client insight met engineering ambition.

For years, marine operators, dealers, and installers across our global network described the same failure pattern: switch panels corroding from the inside out. The cause was always the same. Mechanical switches have seams. Seams let in saltwater and condensation. And once moisture gets behind a panel, it corrodes quietly and invisibly until switches start failing intermittently — or all at once.

Our product development team took that pain point and turned it into a design brief. Rather than improving an existing format, we started from scratch — researching sealing technologies, studying failure modes across marine environments, and asking what a switch panel would look like if ingress protection was the first requirement, not an afterthought. The Sentinel is the result of that process.

A sealed surface with no path for ingress

Every conventional rocker or toggle switch creates an opening in the panel face. This panel has none. Six capacitive touch sensors read input through a continuous, unbroken surface. There are no pivot points, no mechanical openings, no gaps. The result is an IP67-rated panel that stands up to the marine environment the way the rest of your electronics should.

To ensure that water on the surface doesn't cause unintended activations, every touch input is verified by the PCB control center before the circuit responds. The anti-misjudgment system distinguishes deliberate contact from water droplets, so you get precise, intentional control even in wet conditions.

Smart protection that replaces your fuse block

Behind the sealed face, an intelligent control CPU manages all six channels independently. Each circuit has its own overcurrent, overvoltage, and overtemperature protection — thresholds adjustable via the setup button, no tools required. When a fault occurs, only the affected channel shuts down. The remaining five continue operating normally. A yellow warning indicator above the panel identifies that a fault has occurred; once resolved, a power cycle restores the channel.

This eliminates the traditional fuse block entirely. No fuses to source, no panel to remove, no spare fuses to carry onboard.

Status visible in any conditions

Each switch backlight shifts from red (circuit off) to blue (circuit active), making the full panel status readable at a glance in any light. The yellow fault indicator above the array ensures nothing goes unnoticed.

Configurable per circuit

Each of the six channels can be set independently to latching (ON/OFF) mode or momentary auto-reset mode — useful for horns, speakers, or any device that needs only a momentary signal. Factory defaults reflect the most common marine configurations. Thirty pre-printed function stickers let you label each switch to match your vessel's layout.
