User manual RAYMARINE LIFETAG SYSTEM

[. . . ] Failure to operate the LifeTag System in accordance with its operating instructions may result in unreliable or reduced system performance. The operation of some medical electronic devices, such as hearing aids and pacemakers, may be affected if a LifeTag or LifeTag Base Station is used next to them. Observe the manufacturers' recommendations for such devices. CAUTION: LITHIUM BATTERIES The LifeTag System Tags use non-rechargeable lithium batteries. Do not attempt to recharge these batteries. [. . . ] Ensure Tags are Active Before issuing Tags to crew members, check each Tag to ensure the LED indicator briefly flashes GREEN once every 10 seconds. This indicates that the Tag is ACTIVE. If a Tag is not active (indicator unlit), press and release the pushbutton to activate the Tag. As each Tag is activated, the Alarm 'chirps' 3 times. If a Tag indicator does not flash green once every 10 seconds, then the Tag is not active. Check the table on page 4 to determine what to do. 3.

When an alarm is initiated The Alarm buzzer sounds Repeat every 1 s until alarm is silenced 0 1 2 3 4 seconds Optional 12 V output When an alarm condition exists, the Base Station optional switched output provides 12 V as a switching voltage, for external equipment, until the alarm is silenced. Other SeaTalk products If the LifeTag Base Station is connected to a SeaTalk system which includes a SeaTalk chartplotter and GPS, and a LifeTag alarm occurs, a MOB marker will be displayed on the chartplotter at the location of the boat when the alarm is activated. In addition, the chartplotter and compatible SeaTalk instruments (such as ST60+ and ST290 Graphic instruments) will display a dedicated MOB alarm page. This occurs only with compatible products on SeaTalk systems. It does NOT occur on other products connected via NMEA0183. If a LifeTag alarm is canceled from another SeaTalk product, this will cancel the entire MOB event, so that all displayed MOB information, including the MOB waypoint, will be removed. Important: The accuracy of the recorded position of the MOB event is dependent on boat speed, tide, wind speed etc, so you should take this into account when locating the man overboard. To silence an alarm Hold in a Tag button for 5 seconds Note: This will NOT cancel the alarm, but will reduce the alarm to 3 beeps every 30 seconds. 0 10 20 30 seconds To cancel a LifeTag alarm 1.
