OLAS GUARDIAN Wireless Engine Kill Switch & Man Overboard (MOB) Alarm System
The ACR OLAS Guardian is a small wireless engine kill switch that acts within
two seconds of a person going overboard. It has the dual function of also acting
as an instant Man Overboard (MOB) Alarm system. OLAS GUARDIAN offers powerboat,
motorboat, and RIB drivers the security of knowing that their boat will stop in
an instant, should the skipper or crew get separated from the boat, reducing the
chances of a serious accident from a loose, unmanned, uncontrolled vessel. They
are free to move around their boat without constantly having to remember to
attach, detach and re-attach a physically wired kill cord. The GUARDIAN provides
coverage for vessels up to 50 feet and is scalable via the use of the OLAS
EXTENDER for use on vessels up to 80 feet.
The GUARDIAN functions as a wireless kill cord, which when connected to your
engine's kill switch will stop the engine within two seconds of becoming
disconnected. Given that the OLAS GUARDIAN also wirelessly connects up to 15
crew members via wearable OLAS transmitters (OLAS Tags or OLAS Float-On Lights),
it essentially creates a virtual kill cord attached to each transmitter. Within
two seconds of an OLAS transmitter losing connection, either by going overboard
or via separation by distance, the engine will cut out, and a loud alarm is
triggered. The engine can be restarted after five seconds, and a rescue can be
performed. The rescue process is then simplified by the GUARDIAN’s ability to
connect with the ACR OLAS mobile app which, in the case of a MOB incident,
provides an easy to read directional screen showing the direction where the
alarm was triggered and advises on the correct mayday call.
The ACR OLAS GUARDIAN is a wireless engine kill switch and MOB alarm system that
provides users with a robust set of safety features. The system offers a
comprehensive list of distinct advantages including:
-
OLAS Mobile App Operation
OLAS Guardian is easily operated via the OLAS Mobile APP, which enables you to
set how long it should take for before the engine is shut off. The app also
enables selecting if the external alarm when a Tag wearer is out of range should
activate on both the GUARDIAN and your mobile device.
-
Run alongside existing Kill switch
OLAS Guardian can be used in place of or alongside an existing kill cord switch
and will operate if the physical kill cord has not been attached to the driver.
On most engines, a simple parallel connection to the existing kill switch will
enable the full wireless cut-off capability.
After 5 seconds the kill switch is deactivated enabling the engine to be
restarted
An 85db alarm will sound to indicate an OLAS transmitter has gone out of range
A high-power emergency Red light will illuminate, offering a clear visual
indication of an alert whilst also acting as a light to illuminate the
surrounding area
The OLAS App allows individual relay selection for easily adjusting if the OLAS
transmitter triggers the engine cut-off/relay, or only triggers the Guardian's
inbuilt MOB alarm
When you board your vessel and switch on the power, OLAS Guardian will
automatically connect to any switched on OLAS transmitting devices within 2
meters range.
-
No connection alert and override
If you board the vessel and no transmitters are switched on, the Guardian will
sound an alert. This alert can be stopped either by connecting the OLAS
transmitter to the Guardian or the Guardian can be manually switched off. After
which the vessel can be driven as usual using the existing physical safety kill
cord.
The system can be placed in a pause mode. This is used when you need to leave
the boat with the engine idling, such as walking down a pontoon, knowing the
OLAS transmitter will go out of range
-
Connects up to 15 OLAS Transmitters (OLAS Tags or OLAS Float-On)
Up to 15 transmitters allow larger vessels to connect crew and objects to the
Guardian. Simply by attaching a transmitter to object such as a MOB flotation
device or yacht tender you can always be aware if something has gone missing.
An OLAS Extender can be used to cover areas where the transmitter signal may be
blocked. This allows use on larger vessels up to 80ft and the ability to scale
the system up if required.
Set up and monitoring
The Guardian module can be connected to your vessel's power supply to ensure it
is always connected when you have the power running. The power wires can simply
be spliced into an existing power supply from the boat’s battery.
The compact, stainless steel switch requires minimum adjustment to your existing
center console, allowing it to be fitted through an 18mm hole
-
Color-coded control switch
The color-coded control switch makes the system easy to control and setup,
without the need for the OLAS App. During the setup process, it will indicate
the automatic setup stages with red indicator light. When the system is running
it shows a green light, switching back to red in an alarm situation.
-
OLAS Mobile App data and monitoring
Monitoring tracked OLAS Transmitters enabling customized ID names for easy
identification
It records the GPS location of the Alert position and guides the user back to
the location and advises on the correct mayday call.
Selects which devices initiate the engine cut-off
It monitors the battery level of OLAS tags
Adds/removes tags from the sample
Activates/Deactivates the Alarm system
Operate as an external Alarm
The GUARDIAN indicates how many OLAS transmitters are connected during the setup
process.
Transmitters can be Added to the system either using the mobile application or
through a simple inbuilt switching process.
