Hatch sensor
The hatch sensor is another key part of the
Yacht Sentinel
’s function as an intruder alarm. Using
a sensor with a detachable magnet attached to a door or window an alarm is immediately
triggered if the two pieces are pulled apart by the hatch opening. To prevent multiple alarms the
Yacht Sentinel will not send more than one hatch alarm every 10 minutes.
To attach the hatch sensor to the base unit you should use
ports 4 & 5, 6 & 7, or 8 & 9 of the left hand side removable
connector. Insert one wire into each port and tighten the
screws until the wire is held firmly in place. You can install
multiple hatch sensors in the same port if you need, but you
will not be able to differentiate between any alarms you receive.
Using the tape or Velcro, attach the detachable magnet to the hatch door/window and the
sensor to the frame. Make sure that both parts are aligned and sit flush or the sensor will not
work properly.
Temperature sensor
The temperature sensor is an accurate piece of equipment that lets you know the exact
temperature inside your boat. As well as requesting temperature updates you can set a
maximum-minimum range of temperatures and the
Yacht Sentinel
will send you an alarm if the
temperature goes out of these limits.
To attach the temperature sensor to the base unit you
should use ports 11 & 12 of the right hand side removable
connector. Insert the brown/black and the greenred/ wires
into port 11 and the white/yellow wire into port 12.
Using the tape or Velcro attach the temperature to the wall where you want to measure the
temperature, making sure not to cover the metal sensor end. You could place the sensor near
the engine to warn of overheating, or in a cabin.
Outputs
You can attach a wide range of third party outputs to the
Yacht Sentinel
, such as sirens and
strobe lighting. You can link these outputs to be set off if an alarm is triggered, for example if a
PIR sensor is triggered a siren can start to alert marine staff to a potential break in.
To wire the output to the device, insert the ground wire to
port 13 and the other wire to port 14 or 15 of the right hand
side removable connector, you can insert two ground wires
into port 13. You will need to know whether each output is
an NC or NO circuit to set an alarm, this information should be on our website or in the
description of a third party sensor.
As with the other sensors you can set the outputs using the app or SMS using the instructions on
the App and SMS commands section of this user guide.
