Examples
Each example is divided into three parts: Alarm Recognition, Alarm
Notification, and Acknowledgment. Alarm Recognition refers to the
events that occur when a monitored condition changes or exceeds
programmed limits. Alarm Notification details how Boat Remote
delivers its alarm message and Acknowledgment illustrates how an
alarm is acknowledged.
EXAMPLE 1 (Away Mode: voice dialout & acknowledgment)
Alarm Recognition
Your boat develops a slow leak but the bilge pump does its job and
pumps out the excess water. However, the leak causes the pump to
cycle more often than normal. One day the pump must cycle 5
times within 24 hours. The bilge pump turns on for the fifth time
(programmed bilge pump cycle limit), and the Bilge Pump #1 input is
set to “Active” so Boat Remote enters the Alarm Notification se-
quence.
Alarm Notification
1) Boat Remote waits 30 seconds (the programmed Call Delay
time). During this time, the unit recites the message “Bilge Pump #1
cycle rate exceeded. 5 cycles in the last 24 hours.” (Speaker: ON)
2) The unit is operating in Away Mode, so after 30 seconds it checks
the dialout selection list for the Bilge Pump #1 input. Since this is
not an emergency situation, you’ve programmed Boat Remote to
contact you directly in the event of a bilge pump alarm rather than
call the marina. The unit dials the first number on the list (phone #3,
your vacation/weekend residence, 555-3333).
3) Nobody is home and the call is answered by an answering
machine.
4) Boat Remote recites the following message 3 times (programmed
number of voice repetitions)
“Hello, this is (Boat Remote ID Message).
“Bilge Pump #1 cycle rate exceeded. 5 cycles in the last 24
hours.”
NOTE: Boat Remote will speak its alarm message during the
answering machine’s outgoing message, so part of the first alarm
message repetition will not be recorded.
5) After the third repetition, the unit will request acknowledgment:
