Switch hardware

The metal that ends the argument.

Every SEARIN deployment ships real switchgear. These are the units, their specifications and what they cost — order here and a commissioning engineer confirms survey, stock and install date.

SEARIN Sentinel Mk.II physical interlock with amber rotary lever and safety cover

Built to sever

One severance core, four enclosures.

The same certified cut mechanism sits inside every unit. What changes is the scale of what it can open: a household circuit, a rack row, a building or a federation of sites.

Operating temperature-10 °C to 55 °C
Input100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz, dual feed on Mk.II and Sovereign
ComplianceDesigned to IEC 60947 switchgear and NEC 645.10 disconnect practice. CE / UL certification not yet granted — units ship only after third-party electrical safety certification and a witnessed factory acceptance test.
KeysCertified two-factor key blanks, registered to named holders
Warranty3 years parts and labour, 10-year severance-core guarantee
RehearsalQuarterly shadow drill and annual live cut included with install

What's real today · updated 2026-09-26

Built, designed, certified — stated plainly.

Exactly what exists physically, where each safety certification stands, and when units ship.

Only the REV-A bench prototype exists physically today. No SEARIN unit is certified yet, and none ships until third-party safety certification is granted. Dates marked 'Target' are plans, not commitments. Preorders are free and non-binding.

Working prototype

Try the interlock before you buy it.

REV-A is on the bench cutting real load. The prototype page carries the build log, measured bench results and a live demo of the two-key interlock you can run yourself.

Certified partners

Order units direct from the line.

Certified installers, operators and sovereign programme partners buy Sentinel units at tier pricing with reserved build slots, registered keys and factory acceptance records.
