The Sentry II Transitional Style collection features advanced power window and skylight operators engineered by AmesburyTruth. Designed for both windows and light or heavy skylights, these operators automate the process of opening and closing, increasing ease of use and enhancing indoor air circulation. Sentry II systems are a popular solution for anyone seeking an upgrade from traditional hand-crank windows or for new builds wanting modern convenience paired with the reliability of proven hardware mechanics.

Automated Control for Windows and Skylights

Sentry II operators are available in models suited for both standard windows and heavier skylights. The WLS model is optimized for casement and awning windows or lighter skylights up to 75 pounds, while the HS model is engineered to handle heavier skylight hatches up to 160 pounds. Both models integrate seamlessly into retrofit or new installations, directly replacing manual Truth® hand-crank mechanisms and providing smooth, motorized operation at the touch of a button.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Rain sensor built in on all kits for automatic closure and weather protection
  • Compatible with home automation accessories, remote controls, and security systems
  • Direct 110 VAC hookup for fast and simple installation,no need for external transformers on HS models
  • Corrosion-resistant components for long service life and minimal maintenance
  • Synchronous motor options to accommodate larger skylight installations
  • Digital electronics package enhances reliability and ease of use

Use Cases and Compatibility

Sentry II Transitional Style operators are used in residential homes, offices, and commercial buildings for improved airflow and ease of access. They are especially valuable in hard-to-reach window locations, over kitchen sinks, or in high ceilings. Compatible with most casement and awning window brands originally equipped with Truth hardware, these systems are also suitable for new skylight installations by leading manufacturers. Homeowners benefit from improved comfort and energy efficiency, while installers and property managers appreciate the straightforward retrofit process and minimal setup requirements.

Installation and Replacement Tips

For retrofitting, Sentry II operators can be installed in place of many existing Truth hand-crank mechanisms, using the same mounting points. The HS model for heavy skylights is often pre-installed and programmed by skylight manufacturers, simplifying the electrician's job to connecting power. Homeowners or installers should always verify the weight and size limitations for their specific window or skylight, and consult the instruction booklet included with each kit. Accessories such as wall switches or remotes may be purchased separately and are compatible with standard home automation systems for added convenience.
