Boat Remote User’s Manual

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

The LCD, local display, is your guide for information and program- ming. A scrolling status screen, referred to as the idle screen, will appear when the Boat Remote is idle. The status of all inputs that are in Status-Only Mode or Active Mode are shown on the idle screen. Inputs that are in Off Mode will not appear on the idle screen.

The Operating Mode, Date, and Time are on the first idle screen. Next, the Inputs will appear. The final idle screen will display the last alarm that has occurred, if one has occurred since the Boat Remote has been turned on.

LEDs

The two LEDs are used to indicate the system operating mode and the alarm status of the Boat Remote. The “Mode” LED indicates the system operating mode of the Boat Remote and the “Warning” LED alerts you of a problem with the phone line, AC power or if an alarm exists. The LED indications are as follows:

System Operating Mode

There are three Operating Modes that can be set for the Boat Remote: Stand-By, On-Board, and Away modes. The different modes change the way Boat Remote responds to an alarm condition. In Stand-By mode alarm dial out is disabled and local alarm messages are not recited through the speaker. In On-Board mode alarm dial out is disabled, but local alarm messages are recited. The unit will not answer the phone in Stand-By mode or On-Board mode. In Away mode the Boat Remote is fully operational. It will recite alarm messages, make alarm phone calls, and answer the phone for status reports.

To change the Operating Mode press the MODE key on the keypad until the appropriate mode is shown on the local display. The green LED will reflect the Operating Mode as follows:

The green light will be...

Off when the unit is in Standby Mode.

Blinking when the unit is in On-Board Mode.

On steady when the unit is in Away Mode.
