External Connections
Yacht Sentinel has an external connector that enables the connection of power and sensors. If
you look at the External Connection Diagram on page 18, you will see how the connections are
arranged when in standard mode. It is quite easy to add other sensors in place of those shown,
such as pressure mats, tilt sensors, lanyards, etc. to monitor a wide range of possible events.
Likewise there are three external outputs one external temperature sensor and two ‘clean
contact’ outputs for switching other devices. See page 19 for output wiring diagram.

LOCATING UNIT
Install the unit on a flat surface with the top facing directly up to the sky to ensure the best
connection with GPS satellites. If you need to ensure that the unit does not move around
excessively, then please use either double-sided tape or Velcro to fix it to a surface.
