MAN-OVERBOARD ALARM SYSTEM
OWNER’S MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
The ALERT2 Man-Overboard Alarm System™ consists of the ALERT2 Receiver and
one or more ALERT2 Transmitters. Upon activation of the Transmitter by either totally
immersing the ALERT2 Transmitter in water (salt or fresh), or by manual activation, a
coded radio signal will be transmitted to the ALERT2 Receiver, causing the internal
alarm to sound, and the relay contacts to function, activating any auxiliary devices
connected. Both the Transmitter and Receiver will latch to the MOB condition once
activated, so that the Transmitter will continue to transmit even if removed from wa-
ter until turned off, and the Receiver will continue to sound its alarm until turned off.
The range of the System is one nautical mile maximum and depends on the antenna
installation, sea conditions, and position of the man-overboard.
The ALERT2 Transmitter and the ALERT2 Receiver comply with the U.S. Federal
Communications Commission Rules (Part 15), and with Industry Canada Rules, and do
not require a license. Changes or modifications to the ALERT2 Transmitter or ALERT2
Receiver not expressly approved by Emerald Marine Products could void the user’s
authority to operate these devices, and will void the warranty.
