Introduction
Alarm Button (hereinafter Device) is a multifunctional NMEA 2000 device with wires for connection of an
external button with LED indicator (supplied with the Device) and a standard 4 or 8 Ohm sound speaker
(not supplied). It can be configured for the following functions:
• MOB button (default mode).
Press and hold the connected button for 2 seconds to trigger a
sound alarm and send NMEA 2000 AIS MOB messages (emulating the MOB alerts received from
EPIRB and SART devices by NMEA 2000 AIS VHF) with the current GPS position. It sets the
mark of MOB position on a chart plotter. Press the button for a second time to cancel alarm and
stop transmission of MOB messages. Note that messages sent from the Device are not transmitted
externally via VHF or AIS, but are available to all NMEA 2000 devices on the vessel.
• Digital switching alarm unit. Device acts as an NMEA 2000 binary switch bank with 28
channels, each channel has a unique sound alarm and LED flashing sequence. Channels
(and corresponding sound alarms) can be turned ON or OFF from other equipment, including our
smart sensors, or from the screen of a modern chart plotter. Press the connected button to cancel
alarms.
• Engines monitoring unit.
In this mode Device monitors NMEA 2000-integrated engines status
and parameters and triggers an alarm upon reception of engine waring flags or if certain engine
parameter goes out of range. This mode is very useful if an existing engine instrumentation does not
produce an audible ararm or is broken.
Device mode and audio signal level can be configured via connected button. More settings can be configured
with commands sent to the Device via the installation description strings (hardware and software from
Yacht Devices, ActiSense or Maretron is required).
The Device has a built-in a 10W amplifier and current consumption during the audio playback may exceed 1
Ampere. Therefore, it is recommended to connect the Device near the NMEA 2000 power cable or connect
an additional power cable to the backbone socket next to the Device.
