CHAPTER 4

OPERATION

After installation and programming have been completed, Boat Remote is fully operational. This chapter explains the sequence

of events that occur during an alarm to illustrate how Boat Remote operates.

Part One outlines the basic alarm sequence. Part Two provides a sample programming strategy and details how Boat Remote responds in common monitoring applications.

PART ONE: THE ALARM SEQUENCE

There are 3 stages to complete an alarm event: 1) Alarm Recogni- tion, 2) Alarm Notification, 3) Acknowledgment. Note that not all alert conditions will go through each stage. For example, some may not need the recognition time. Others may be acknowledged locally before dial out starts.

Alarm Recognition

1.Boat Remote monitors inputs for High Water Level, Security, AC power, Battery Voltage, 3 Temperature inputs, an Auxiliary input, and the activity of 2 Bilge Pumps. When the status of an input changes or exceeds user-programmed limits, it causes an alert condition.

2.If the alert condition lasts long enough to meet its programmed recognition time, the alert condition becomes an alarm and Boat Remote begins the alarm notification sequence.

Alarm Notification

The alarm notification sequence depends on Boat Remote’s operating mode:

-Standby Mode: Boat Remote does not recognize alert conditions and will not create an alarm.

-On-Board Mode: Boat Remote recites a voice alarm message continuously until a key is pressed and will not dial out.

-Away Mode:

1) Boat Remote waits the programmed Call Delay time before
