(20) 6 v100_user_v5.indd 6 25/06/2009 2:16:55 PM Mobilarm V100 Registration Registering your ownership of a Mobilarm V100 with the relevant national maritime authority for your region is mandatory. Typically, this will be in the country of purchase. Fill out the registration form with your contact details and the MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) number located on the back of your device, and submit it to the relevant national maritime authority for your region.

30) Global Positioning System The Mobilarm V100 uses positional data derived from its internal GPS ANTENNA overboard and is therefore only as accurate as the positional data it receives. The GPS system is currently managed by the US Government who can alter its effective accuracy. Introduction 7 v100_user_v5.indd 7 25/06/2009 2:16:55 PM Mobilarm V100 Overview is a The Mobilarm V100 automated Maritime fully Survivor Locating Device

for the commercial marine environment to ensure a quick, effective rescue in a man overboard emergency. The Mobilarm V100 uses the marine VHF radio band to automatically transmit a man overboard distress alert and real-time coordinates of the person in the water to all VHF DSC or VHF radio equipped vessels within range, including the distressed mariners vessel. The design, size and weight of the Mobilarm V100 means it can be comfortably clipped onto webbing, life jacket or harness, or carried in a pocket. For the device to transmit the emergency message its antenna must be out of the water. The Mobilarm V100 should therefore be worn at chest height not at waist level. Automatic Activation The Mobilarm V100 is designed to be water-activated but it can also be manually activated. Automatic Distress Alert Once activated, the Mobilarm V100 transmits a VHF DSC man overboard distress alert to automatically notify all vessels in the vicinity to the emergency. 8 v100_user_v5.indd 8 25/06/2009 2:16:58 PM The device aquires a GPS lock and transmits the distress alert

rescue teams to track the man overboard in the water. The STROBE on the device is SOLAS compliant and assists visual homing on the person in the water. The Mobilarm V100 battery will support emergency transmission for a minimum of 12 hours under normal operating conditions. In-Water Tracking Some DSC radios are able to output a waypoint of the coordinates received in the Mobilarm V100 distress alert to a

known position and updates it with subsequent alerts. This provides a graphical representation of the location of the man overboard casualty in relation to the current position of the vessel receiving the alert, as well as distance and bearing information. Refer to your radio owners manual to determine whether your DSC radio is capable of sending NMEA0183-compatible data to your GPS or chart plotter. Ensure that your GPS or chart

In order for the Mobilarm V100 to transmit the VHF distress alerts successfully, the FLEXIBLE ANTENNA must be out of the water. This means that the unit is best positioned high on the front of a persons body, ideally at chest height. The WATER SENSORS on the base of the unit must be submerged for at least 5 seconds to automatically activate the device, otherwise the device must be manually activated. A Remote Water-Sensing Extension Kit (part number MOA-00202) is also available to extend the water sensing capability of the device, This allows a Mobilarm V100 to be worn or mounted higher from sea level to achieve a wider alerting range but still be water activated in an emergency. The Mobilarm V100 is also available to purchase already embedded into a life jacket

(see www.mobilarm.com for further details) which ensures that it is in the most effective position for water activation and emergency message transmission, while

Q: Is the Mobilarm V100 compatible with other safety or man overboard devices such as a life jacket or Jon buoy?

Yes. The Mobilarm V100 CLIP allows it to be attached to any strap or harness that can be threaded through the loops. The Mobilarm V100 is also available to purchase already embedded into a life jacket (see www.mobilarm.com for further details). Q: Can anyone replace the battery in a Mobilarm V100?

No. Battery servicing and/or replacement must only be carried out by an authorised Mobilarm service agent. Failure to do so may compromise the integrity of the product and will void the product warranty. Q: Can a Mobilarm V100 be re-used once it has been activated?

Perform a full test to check the state of the battery and how much battery life is remaining in the device. If the battery test phase fails or the battery life is below the minimum accepted for safe use, immediately take the device out of service and contact your authorised Mobilarm service agent for a replacement. If the device passes the full test, then the device may remain in service. Remember to perform a full system test every 3 months to check that all functions are in proper working order and that the remaining battery life has not dropped below the minimum accepted for safe use. 38 v100_user_v5.indd 38 25/06/2009 2:17:09 PM Q: Are there different antennae available to attach to the Mobilarm V100?

Yes. A Long Range Dipole Antenna (part number MOA-00203) can be used instead of the existing antenna when using the Mobilarm V100 with a life jacket or survival suit. Q: What is the procedure if I change to a different vessel and want to continue using my Mobilarm V100?

Check whether the area of operation of the new vessel is governed by different maritime regulations to your current area of operation because your Mobilarm V100

with those regulations. If your Mobilarm V100 is programmed with the MMSI number of your current vessel then this must be reprogrammed to the MMSI number of the new vessel. Contact your authorised Mobilarm service agent for assistance with reprogramming your device. Q: Is there any set-up required before the Mobilarm V100 will transmit GPS coordinates?

No. The Mobilarm V100 has an in-built 20-channel GPS receiver that will automatically acquire a GPS lock and transmit position coordinates in the DSC and voice distress alert. Performing a full system test every 3 months will reassure you that the GPS ANTENNA is operating properly and can acquire GPS coordinates.

Mobilarm V100 DSC distress alert logs a waypoint when a man overboard event occurs?

Some DSC radios can output DSC and DSE messages via a NMEA connection. When the VHF DSC radio receives the distress alert it may be able to output a NMEA0183 sentence direct to a connected GPS or chart plotter and log a waypoint

known position and track them in the water with every subsequent updated position received. Refer to your radio owners manual to determine whether your DSC radio is capable of sending NMEA0183-compatible data to your GPS or chart plotter and if so, ensure

Frequently Asked Questions 39 v100_user_v5.indd 39 25/06/2009 2:17:09 PM Q: How do I know that my Mobilarm V100 is transmitting the emergency messages?

Disclaimer The Mobilarm V100 is an emergency rescue transmission device that should only be activated as a last resort. Misuse or false activation is unlawful and irresponsible, and could result in prosecution or penalty. The Mobilarm V100 should not be relied on as the only source of man overboard

prudence and good seamanship at all times. Use of the Mobilarm V100 in no way reduces liability of the vessels master and crew who have the primary responsibility for safety on board. No device is 100% fail safe nor can it guarantee safe rescue in an emergency. When activated, the Mobilarm V100 broadcasts a distress alert via the VHF radio band to all VHF DSC and VHF radio equipped vessels or stations within range but requires subsequent human interaction to acknowledge and respond to the distress alert. Satellite GPS lock and in-water tracking is dependent on the extent of satellite system coverage and reception at the time and location of the emergency. The actual time and success of rescue is therefore dependent on all these contributing factors and as such, is outside the control of Mobilarm. This owners manual contains important information that must be adhered to for reliable use and operation of the product. It is the owners sole responsibility to make the effort to read this manual and to ensure that the equipments operation and limitations are understood.
