High-Water Monitoring
When alarm input 2 is configured as a water zone, one or more float switches can be connected directly
to the terminal inputs. In this configuration, the float switch must be used standalone, and cannot be
driven by an external voltage source, or damage will occur.
A high-water notification will be sent out regardless of the arming state of VTracker, if a previous sensor
activation has not been previously latched. See the
section for more information on
how to arm and disarm the system, and clear latched alarms.
Alarm/Security Monitoring
When an alarm input is configured as a zone type, notifications of a sensor activation will only be sent if
the system is armed and the alarm has not already latched a previous activation while being armed. See
the
section for more information on how to arm/disarm, and clear latched alarms.
SOS
When alarm input 1 is configured as an SOS zone, the switch output must be connected to an
audible/visual indicator so the user knows when the interface has been activated. The switch output
will be on when the interface is active.
The SOS interface is activated with a 2.5 second closure of an attached button, and is cancelled with a
subsequent 2.5 second closure of the button.
When an SOS event occurs, an SOS message is sent to the owner of the VTracker, and all users that have
been added via the
. In addition, and optionally, GEOS can be notified for global
search-and-rescue if a GEOS subscription is active and has been purchased.
Testing with GEOS is also possible and periodically recommended. It is necessary for the customer to
contact GEOS directly prior to any live testing.
Testing must be performed by customers in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the
Nautic Alert Web Portal GEOS registration procedures.
Geofence Control
When alarm input 1 is configured as an geofence control zone, the switch output must be connected to
an audible/visual indicator so the user knows when the interface has been activated. The switch output
will be on when the geofence is active. This mode is useful if the boat will be used in remote locations
where the mobile app cannot be used to arm/disarm the geofence remotely. In this case, a hidden or
discrete momentary button or keyed-momentary button can be used to control the arming state of the
geofence.
