5. Take the Tag to every part of the vessel to which crew members have access, (i.e. every cabin, com-
partment and all extremes of the deck), to check if an alarm is initiated.
If any alarms occur, the system is NOT operating satisfactorily.
6. Take the appropriate action as detailed below, for either
System operating satisfactorily
or
Sys-
tem not operating satisfactorily
, below.
System operating satisfactorily
If no alarms are initiated during the site survey, the LifeTag system is operating satisfactorily with the
Base Station at its current location. Switch off the power, then permanently install the Base Station at
that location, as detailed under
Fitting procedures
, below.
System not operating satisfactorily
If an alarm is initiated:
1. Hold down the Tag button for 5 seconds, to silence the alarm.
2. Release the Tag button, wait for 15 seconds then press it again for a further 5 seconds, to cancel
the alarm.
If alarms occurred during the site survey, reposition the Base Station, then carry out another site
survey.
If alarms continue to occur, you need to install a system with Master and Repeater Base Stations (see
Setting up a Master/Repeater Base Unit system
). For such a system, you need to set up a second Base
Station as a Repeater. The original Base Station is the Master.
Setting up a Master/Repeater Base Unit system
Setting a Base Station as a Repeater
To set a Base Station to operate as a Repeater:
1. Obtain a second LifeTag system. Temporarily place the Tags supplied with the second system, to
one side
2. Place the Base Station from the second system and the original Base Station, so they are near to
one another, with access to a common 12 V dc supply.
3. Remove the cover from the second Base Station as shown on
page 3
, then locate the internal reset
button and the LED indicator (see
Figure 11
).
