Chapter 4: Operation

A
fter installation and programming have been completed, Boat
Remote is fully operational. This chapter explains the sequence
of events that occur during an alarm to illustrate how Boat Remote
operates.
Part One outlines the basic alarm sequence. Part Two provides a
sample programming strategy and details how Boat Remote
responds in common monitoring applications.
PART ONE: THE ALARM SEQUENCE
There are 3 stages to complete an alarm event: 1) Alarm Recogni-
tion, 2) Alarm Notification, 3) Acknowledgment. Note that not all
alert conditions will go through each stage. For example, some may
not need the recognition time. Others may be acknowledged locally
before dial out starts.
Alarm Recognition
1. Boat Remote monitors inputs for High Water Level, Security, AC
power, Battery Voltage, 3 Temperature inputs, an Auxiliary input, and
the activity of 2 Bilge Pumps. When the status of an input changes
or exceeds user-programmed limits, it causes an alert condition.
2. If the alert condition lasts long enough to meet its programmed
recognition time, the alert condition becomes an alarm and Boat
Remote begins the alarm notification sequence.
Alarm Notification
The alarm notification sequence depends on Boat Remote’s
operating mode:
- Standby Mode: Boat Remote does not recognize alert conditions
and will not create an alarm.
- On-Board Mode: Boat Remote recites a voice alarm message
continuously until a key is pressed and will not dial out.
- Away Mode:
1) Boat Remote waits the programmed Call Delay time before
