Chapter 4: Operation

Remote DOES NOT speak a voice message. It calls the beeper company or service, enters the number to be displayed on the beeper, then hangs up.

Alarm Acknowledgment

Local

Alarms can be acknowledged locally by pressing any key on the Boat Remote keypad.

Example: Boat Remote is operating in On-Board Mode. Bilge Pump #1 has exceeded its programmed maximum run time. Boat Remote begins to repeat the message “Bilge Pump 1 ran too long.” Since you are on board, you hear the message and acknowledge the alarm locally by pressing any key on the Boat Remote keypad.

Remote Voice Dial Out

Repeated below is the same example of what Boat Remote might say during a typical ‘voice’ dial out: (must be in Away Mode)

“Hello, this is (ID message). The water level is too high”

“Hello, this is (ID message). The water level is too high”

“Hello, this is (ID message). The water level is too high”

“Indicate you have received warning message.”

‘555’ Acknowledgment Code

Boat Remote will now wait 5 seconds for the touch-tone acknowl- edgment code ‘555’, or ‘999’ (see below), to be entered. When you press the ‘5’ key on a touch-tone phone, Boat Remote will echo the word “five” back to you. After the third ‘5’ has been received, Boat Remote will respond by saying, “Alarm Acknowledged”. The alarm has been acknowledged and the unit will hang up. Once the alarm has been acknowledged, the dial out process stops.

‘999’ Acknowledgment Code

Substituting the ‘555’ acknowledgment code with ‘999’ will acknowl- edge the alarm and, for the input that is in alarm, will change the Input Mode from Active to Status Only. This is useful if an input is going in and out of alarm.

To remotely change the alarm input’s mode follow the directions for the ‘555’ acknowledgment code, but substitute ‘555’ with ‘999’. The response will be, “Input disabled. Alarm acknowledged. Good-bye.”
