3.2.3 Crew transmitter
See chapter 2.3
CAUTION :
-
Note that if you activate the « man over board » function of the transmitter when the radio
receiver is switched off, or out of the transmitter range, this function will not be taken into
account immediately : it will automatically be activated when the radio receiver is operating.
3.3 Automatic deactivation of the « man over board » function
In the event they are not used for a prolonged period of time, each transmitter will automatically
deactivate its own « man over board » function : one week without actuating any key. When the
transmitter deactivates its « man over board » function, the radio receiver emits a 2-beep
audible signal, to alert the user.
3.4 Acknowledging and suspending the alarm
To acknowledge the « Man over board » alarm, you must cut off the power supply of your
TOPLINE installation. This deactivation procedure is a little long, but allows to save the
information of heading and distance of the « man over board » to the memory, no matter what
actions are performed on your TOPLINE installation.
To suspend the audible alarm (during the recovery operation of the man over board, for
example), press any key on your transmitter. The estimated heading and distance to reach the
man over board remain on display.
CAUTION :
-
When the « Man over Board » function is activated, the transmitter uses more battery
energy. To extend the battery life time, we recommend that you only activate this function
when you are sailing.
-
If the transmitter is out of the radio receiver range, for example when you walk away from
your ship on the jetty, the « man over board » alarm will unpredictably be triggered.
