SeaNet-Alarm Users Manual

 

There is clearly a need for loud sound or an optical alarm, that makes you aware of 
possible dangers and instruments failure. 

With the SeaNet-Alarm this needs can be filled in an easy and economic way. 

When an alarm condition is recognized, SeaNet-Alarm activates a solid state switch that 
can activate a powerfull external alarm and/or switch on optical alarm.

Alarm sources

SeaNet-Alarm his highly configurable. It reacts to different instrument alarms and also has 
it's own built in alarm triggers.

Alarms can be triggered by : 

Internal “wake-up” timer

→ internally generated

SeaTalk network failure 

→ internally generated

Shallow water alarm 

→ from depth instrument

Anchor alarm 

→ from depth instrument

Transducer defective 

→ from depth instrument

High & low windspeed alarm 

→ from wind instrument

Wind angle high & low alarm

→ from wind instrument

Windshift

→ from autopilot

Off course & drive stopped

→ from autopilot

& auto release alarm

Object in guard band 1&2

→ from radar

MOB Alarm 

→ from instrument

Instrument failure

→ internally generated

Alarms can be switched on/off individually. A unique alarm sound pattern can be assigned 
to the different alarms – so that the user can “hear” what caused the alarm.

There are two alarm indication LED's on board the SeaNet-Alarm. The led's can be 
assigned to different alarms – so that the user can “see” what caused the alarm.
