Using the easyWATCHBOX
The intended purpose easyWATCHBOX is an alerting device, which anal-
yses the NMEA data output of an AIS receiver or AIS transponder.
On the basis of these data it analyses alarm situations like AIS-SART
(Search and Rescue Transmitter), or it calculates collision scenarios.
Whenever an alarm situation is detected, the LEDs show, which kind of
alarm has occurred and the internal buzzer gives a loud signal.
With the buttons you can either turn on and off the acoustic alarms or
you can set-up the collision alarm parameters (alarm distance and time).
ATTENTION:
The collision alarm is only available, when the AIS has got also GPS data
on the NMEA output.
The AIS-SART alarm works almost with all AIS systems in the market.
Moreover the easyWATCHBOX features a deep discharge protection, an
external horn drive and a trigger function for an auto dial-up device.
