1Warnings & Safety Information
Note: This installation and operation guide contains important information that must be
adhered to for reliable use of the product. It is the owner’s sole responsibility to make the
effort to read this documentation, ensure that the installation is carried out to specification
and understand the equipment’s operation and limitations.
Location and recovery of a man overboard is beyond the product’s capability and if
necessary must be accomplished by alternative means. Mobilarm recommends that all
crew members carry a Mobilarm V100 VPIRB (or Personal Locator Beacon) that can be
activated as an aid for post-MOB location.
WARNING: No system can be 100% fail-safe. Installation faults and
operator error will always introduce the possibility of undetected man
overboard (MOB) events, as can circumstances and events beyond the
equipment’s design criteria. Crewsafe should never be relied upon as the
only source of man overboard notification. The skipper and crew must
exercise common prudence and good seamanship. Installation and
operation of a Crewsafe system in no way reduces the responsibility of the
skipper and crew who have the primary responsibility for safety on board a
vessel.
WARNING: Global Positioning System. (GPS) Crewsafe systems can be
integrated with an external GPS receiver to define the location of a man
overboard and provide track-back information to the user. This
configuration can only be as accurate as the positional data it receives.
The Global Positioning System is managed and maintained by the US
Government who can from time to time alter its effective accuracy. In
addition, equipment errors or faults and operator errors can also result in
misleading information being displayed by Crewsafe systems. Mariners
must always use alternative means to confirm the location of a man
overboard if the accuracy of the system is ever in doubt.
WARNING: Crewsafe systems can only facilitate the recording of the initial
position of where a man overboard event occurred into third party devices.
In some areas, drift will take a man overboard away from the location of the
original position indicated by the Crewsafe system.
WARNING: The Crewsafe system uses a small amount of low voltage DC
power. However, accidental short-circuiting of any of the product’s cabling
system’s may cause sparks which in turn could ignite combustible gases
or petrol vapors. Make sure that electrical circuits are isolated before
making any changes to the system’s cables.
RADIO INTERFERENCE WARNINGS:
The Crewsafe system emits radio waves that can affect the operation of
nearby electronics, including cardiac pacemakers. Do not wear Crewsafe
Tags within 9 inches of a pacemaker. If you have a pacemaker or other

5Warnings & Safety Information
Mobilarm Ltd. © 2009
implanted medical device, please do not wear a Crewsafe Tag without first
consulting your physician, or the manufacturer of your medical device.
Observe and follow all regulations and rules regarding the use of wireless
devices in locations such as hospitals and on aircraft. Operation in those
locations may interfere with, or cause malfunctions of equipment, with
resulting injuries to persons or damage to property.
WARNING:
1. Never attempt to charge a Tag using any device other than a Mobilarm
Power Dock.
2. A new rechargeable battery's full performance is achieved after 2-3
complete charge and discharge cycles.
3. A Tag will not recharge if the battery temperature is greater than 45
degrees. If a Tag is hot because of environmental factors, let it cool
down and reinsert it into the charger.
4. Never short-circuit a Power Dock bay by placing metallic objects in the
bays (e.g. paper clips, coins or pens).
5. Never use a Power Dock or battery that is damaged.
6. Do not place Crewsafe Tags near a radar set or expose them to
radiation or damage may occur. Please do not clean them with
detergents or solvents that may damage the integrity of the device.
Seals may be damaged by many cleaning devices. If the components
require cleaning, use warm soapy water and wipe with a damp, not wet,
cloth. Be sure to clean a Tag when it is switched off, or it may be
activated by the moisture.
CAUTION: The high intensity strobe light on a Crewsafe Tag or router may
cause discomfort if viewed - avoid staring directly at the strobe when it is
operational.
Regular Testing
Your Crewsafe system should be checked regularly. We recommend testing the
system on a regular basis to ensure that alarms are audible and that the system is in
good working order generally.

4 Overview of Mobilarm Crewsafe
Mobilarm Crewsafe is a wireless safety network designed to improve the workplace
safety of commercial mariners by keeping track of the crew at work at all times. A
'meshed' series of wireless routers automatically detects emergencies involving
personnel and can initiate a full-scale alert within seconds of an incident such as a man
overboard event occurring.
Each employee carries a small transceiver Tag,
which remains connected to the network via
Crewsafe wireless routers. The network immediately
detects any break in the signal and automatically
raises an alarm if the connection is not re-
established within a few seconds. Therefore, if a
crew member goes overboard, the signal is lost and
an alarm is raised. Each Tag also features a duress
button that can be manually activated if an employee
is in distress onboard a vessel.
Any break in a Tag's signal, for any reason, raises an alarm. If a Tag is damaged, its
battery dies or if a person moves out of range of the network, an alarm is raised. This
ensures that co-workers are immediately aware of a possible emergency and employees
are not be left unprotected.
When installed on vessels, Crewsafe can interface with existing chart plotter navigation
systems and GPS devices. In a man overboard (MOB) emergency, your Crewsafe
system can automatically send a waypoint position of where an incident occurs to your
vessel’s chart plotter. This provides essential track back navigation data. The system can
report and track multiple events, but will always prioritise the more serious risk of man
overboard over other emergencies.
Following is an introduction to the various elements of the Crewsafe system.

Display Console
Every Crewsafe network requires a Display
Console, which is responsible for the
management and control of the Crewsafe
system. The Display Console can be used to
configure and control the system and it displays
the status of all Tags connected to it. The
Display Console has a high-intensity STROBE
warning light, an inbuilt PIEZO and a ROUTER
STATUS LED for displaying its wireless network
connection status. It also has 12 TAG STATUS
LEDs for monitoring the safety of crew
members on a vessel.
A Display Console can:
·Monitor crew Tag status (up to 12 Tags);
·Monitor system network status;
·Monitor GPS/chart plotter connection status;
·Provide audible and visual alarms for man overboard events, duress alarms,
manual and general network alarms;
·Be attached to external alarms and other warning devices; and
·Initiate general network alarms.
Internal Router
The purpose of the Internal Router is to expand the
wireless network footprint to cover all internal areas
on a vessel. Additional Internal Routers can be added
to a network as required. Each Internal Router has a
high-intensity STROBE warning light, an inbuilt PIEZO
and a ROUTER STATUS LED for displaying its
wireless network connection status.
An Internal Router can:
·Provide audible and visual alarms for man overboard events, duress alarms,
manual and general network alarms;
·Accept signals from an external warning device via its input (e.g. emergency
button or bilge alarm);
·Send signals to an external warning device (e.g. emergency light or siren); and
·Initiate manual network alarms.

External Router
An External Router is installed on the exterior of a vessel
and as such it is designed to be exposed to the full force
of nature at sea. An External Router has no built-in
manual network alarm function, but it has one relay output
that can be connected to the External Router's switched
input if required. Each External Router has a high intensity
STROBE warning light and a ROUTER STATUS LED for
displaying its wireless network connection status.
An External Router can:
·Provide visual alarms for man overboard events,
duress alarms, manual and general network alarms;
·Accept signals from an external warning device via
its input (e.g. emergency button or bilge alarm); and
·Send signals to an external warning device (e.g.
emergency light or siren).
Tags
Crew members wear a small Crewsafe Tag (a personal
transceiver) which, if disconnected from the network
through submersion in water or distance from the network,
will set off the Crewsafe alarm enabling a speedy recovery.
A manually activated duress alarm can also be initiated by
pressing and holding the button on a Tag.
Each Tag vibrates during each system alarm or paging
state. It also has a high intensity STROBE warning light and
a TAG STATUS LED for displaying its wireless network
connection status.
Tags can be used to configure other Tags or routers when
they are used in 'wand' mode. In wand mode a Tag sends
serial infrared data to another Tag or router to configure it for
the system.

Power Dock
The Power Dock is an essential element of Crewsafe,
providing both stowage and charging capabilities for
Crewsafe Tags.
Crew members place the Tags into Power Dock charging
bays after use to recharge them; the Tag status LED
provides the current charge state of the Tag. The charge
status of all active Tags in charging bays is relayed
wirelessly to the Display Console, and the Crewsafe
Management System if it is installed.
Each Power Dock is capable of charging up to four Tags
simultaneously and Tags that have been fully discharged
will be recharged within four hours.
If more than four Tags need to be charged and stowed on a
vessel then the design of the Power Dock allows them to be
mounted next to each other, either horizontally or vertically.
Crewsafe Management System
Mobilarm Crewsafe is best managed using the Windows®-based Crewsafe
Management System. This provides an enhanced level of personnel safety and
security through crew location monitoring and management, system alarms,
individual paging and individual duress alarms. In addition, the system provides
database management of rescue assets, safety equipment and personnel.
The Crewsafe Management System is a multi-function program that runs on a
dedicated Mobilarm touch-screen tablet. It controls all aspects of the Crewsafe
network from a single point of command. Smaller vessels can use the stand-alone
Crewsafe Display Console. Please see the Crewsafe Management System User
Manual for more information.

Mobilarm Ltd. © 2009
4.1 How it Works
1. Onboard monitoring is provided by each crew member wearing a robust, compact and
lightweight Tag, which is individually registered to a reliable and dependable wireless
network installed on the boat. Tags continuously transmit a ‘safe’ signal to the network,
which consists of one or more wireless routers ‘meshed’ together to provide a
wireless onboard monitoring system. A Display Console displays the status of all
Tags on a vessel at all times.
2. A Tag is unable to transmit through water and an alarm is automatically triggered if a
person falls off a vessel and a Tag’s connection to the network is broken. This may be
the result of a flat battery, a Tag going out of range or being damaged - or a man
overboard event. This provides peace of mind that the system is working properly at all
times and won’t let you down should you come to rely on it in an emergency*.
3. Within four seconds of a person going overboard and their Tag being disconnected
from the network, the system automatically logs a waypoint. The Display Console can
send this waypoint to a NMEA 0183 compatible chart plotter or GPS. If connected, the
boat’s chart plotter or GPS can display essential track back information to the man
overboard waypoint to enable a quick and effective rescue. Multiple man overboard
events can be tracked simultaneously.
4. A man overboard alarm sounds four seconds later if a Tag’s signal is not re-
established. (This ensures that the occasional rogue wave washing over the deck
does not inadvertently set off the alarm.) Unlike some other Personal Locator Beacons
and Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs), Crewsafe Tags
automatically activate an alarm. This is important in the event that a person is knocked
unconscious, incapacitated or incapable of activating an alarm when they go
overboard. When an alarm sounds all Tags connected to the network vibrate and flash
and all internal and external routers flash. The Display Console and any other Internal
Routers also sound an audible alarm.
5. The other benefit of all Mobilarm man overboard systems over other Personal Locator
Beacons is the immediate notification to crew on a vessel of a man overboard
emergency as soon as it occurs. EPIRB signals, for example, are routed to onshore
locations and these distress signals need to be confirmed before the information is
then relayed to vessels in the vicinity. This can add precious minutes or hours to the
length of time a man overboard is in the water before a rescue is initiated.
6. With Crewsafe, after a man overboard has been recovered and is back onboard the
vessel, the system automatically detects the signal from the retrieved mariner’s Tag.
This automatically cancels the alarm and the system resumes normal operation.
7. A duress alarm can be manually triggered by a person pressing and holding the button
on a Tag for 3 seconds. The Tag sending an alarm is identified on the Display Console
and a system-wide alert is sent to warn that this crew member is in distress. Duress
alarms provide the ability for a crew member to manually initiate an alarm if they are in
distress for some reason.
8. A general alarm can be initiated by pressing the alarm button on the Display Console
![](/img.php?id=1108413&img=bgd.png)
Draft
13Overview of Mobilarm Crewsafe
Mobilarm Ltd. © 2009
for 3 seconds. When an alarm sounds all Tags connected to the network vibrate and
flash and all internal and external routers flash. The Display Console and any other
Internal Routers also sound an audible alarm.
CAUTION: No system can be 100% fail-safe. Installation faults and
operator error will always introduce the possibility of undetected man
overboard (MOB) events as can circumstances and events beyond the
equipment's design criteria. Mobilarm man overboard systems should
never be relied on as the only source of man overboard notification. The
skipper and crew must exercise common prudence and good seamanship.
Installation and operation of a Mobilarm man overboard system in no way
reduces the responsibility of the skipper and crew, who have the primary
responsibility for safety onboard a vessel.

6.2 Attaching a Tag
Crewsafe Tags are small enough to be worn at all
times in all marine environments. Tags are designed
to be attached to clothing, lifejackets or harnesses
that include:
·Belts.
·Harnesses or webbing.
·Life jacket straps.
·Pockets/lanyards*/safety chains to avoid the
loss of a Tag over the side of a vessel.
*Lanyards are not recommended as the best
method of attachment.
Mobilarm recommends that Tags
are worn at waist level, both for
comfort and to ensure a man
overboard alarm is activated in an
emergency.
Attaching a Tag
There are two different clips that can be used to attach a Tag. To attach a Tag with a
mini-clip to a crew member it is necessary to thread a harness or webbing through
the gap between the Tag and clip. The large Tag clip is able to slide directly onto a
belt or strap and is much simpler to attach.
Attaching a Clip
To attach either of the two different Tag clips to a Tag, slide it onto the Tag until it
locks firmly into place. To remove it from the Tag, push the TAG LOCKING CLIP
away from body of the Tag and then slide it upwards to remove it. Note: If you are
using the large Tag clip then it needs to be removed before placing the Tag into a
Power Dock for charging.

6.3 Charging a Tag
Crewsafe Tags are factory fitted with rechargeable batteries that have been fully charged
prior to shipping. However, Tags should be placed in the Power Dock and charged for at
least 4 hours prior to first use.
A fully charged Tag should last for up to 48 hours of normal operation in a non-alarm
state. The STATUS LED on a Tag flashes orange when the battery charge is getting low.
If the battery is in good condition it should last in a non-alarm state for approximately 10
hours after the low battery warning is first indicated.
Charged Tag in
Power Dock
Charging a Tag
A Tag can be fully recharged in four hours.
1. Place the Tag into an empty Power Dock bay so that the button is facing
outwards. Note: If a large Tag clip is attached to a Tag then it needs to be
removed before placing it into the Power Dock.
2. Check that the TAG STATUS LED indicates that it is charging. If a Tag's
battery charge level has dropped below 90 percent, the TAG STATUS LED
while charging is solid orange.
3. When a Tag's battery is 90 percent charged or higher its TAG STATUS LED
turns solid green. A Tag will continue to trickle charge after turning green until
it is 100 percent charged.
During normal daily use it is not necessary to turn Tags off when they are charging in
the Power Dock. However, you may wish to turn off a Tag in the Power Dock if it is a
spare Tag. If a Tag is switched off and placed into the Power Dock the Tag's LED will
illuminate green briefly to confirm charging has commenced. The Tag must be turned
on before next use.
Tags continue to be charged when the system is turned off via the Display Console,
as long the Power Dock is still connected to ship's power.
![](/img.php?id=1108413&img=bg17.png)
Draft
23Routine System Tasks
Mobilarm Ltd. © 2009
Technical Tip: Tags should always be recharged after use, so ensure that
power docks remain connected to a power supply even if the vessel is
docked. Regular charging will ensure there is adequate charge in the Tag
battery if there is a man overboard event. It also extends the life of the
battery.
Long-term Tag Storage
If a Tag is likely to be stored for a long period, charge it fully and then turn it off.
1. Place the Tag into a Power Dock bay with the button facing outwards.
2. Press and hold the BUTTON on the Tag for 3 seconds.
An unused Tag battery will discharge itself slowly over time so each stored Tag
should be recharged once a month to ensure the battery does not go completely flat.
This will also maximize long-term battery life.
6.4 Dimming LED Display Intensity
If routers are installed in sleeping areas or if the brightness of the LEDs is interfering with
other equipment in the vicinity, the brightness of the LED displays can be dimmed.
Press the DIM button on a Display Console or Internal Router to cycle through the four

7 Managing Alarms
Mobilarm Crewsafe raises a vessel-wide alarm to notify crew of an emergency situation.
The following sections explain the management of:
·Man Overboard (MOB) alarms, which are automatically activated during man
overboard events.
·Duress alarms, which are manually activated by crew members in distress.
·General alarms, which are manually activated from a system's Display Console.
·Manual alarms, which can be manually activated from internal and external routers.
·False alarms, and
·Multiple Alarms.
7.1 Man Overboard Alarms
A system-wide man overboard alarm is raised automatically if a Tag either goes out of
range of the wireless network, or if the Tag is submerged in water during an emergency.
When a man overboard is recovered and the Tag's signal reconnects to the network, the
alarm will automatically stand down and both the system and Tag default back to normal
operation.
Man Overboard Alarms
When a Tag is immersed in water it blocks the signal to the network and the following
events occur:
1. After 4 seconds it goes into a man overboard warning state and:
·The man overboard Tag starts to vibrate.
·The STROBE on the Tag starts to flash.
·The Display Console LED displays fast red flashes.
·If the Crewsafe system is connected to a GPS chart plotter, the Display
Console stores a way point for the position of the man overboard Tag at
this point.
2. After 8 seconds the system goes into a man overboard alarm state and:
·The man overboard Tag's STROBE flashes continuously until either the
alarm is canceled, or the Tag comes back within range of the network.
·The man overboard Tag vibrates initially for 60 seconds and then stops to
conserve battery power.
·The STROBE on all other active Tags starts to flash and the Tags start to
vibrate.
·The Display Console and any Internal Routers emit loud repetitive tones
and the strobe on them starts to flash.
·The Display Console LED turns red.
·The STROBE on all External Routers starts to flash.
·Any external safety or alarm warning systems that are attached to a router
will also be activated when a network-wide alarm is activated (when using
factory default relay settings).
![](/img.php?id=1108413&img=bg1a.png)
Draft
26 DOC-0132 Crewsafe User Manual v.1.2
Mobilarm Ltd. © 2009
·Way point data is sent from the Display Console to a compatible chart
plotter.
·If you have the Crewsafe Management System connected to your system
then this system will show an alert state.
CAUTION: If a crew member moves out of range while carrying a tag then
connection to the network will be broken and Crewsafe will raise a man
overboard alarm. This will cause the same sequence of events to occur
within the Crewsafe system as for a man overboard event (See False
Alarms for information on canceling alarms).
Network Mute/Acknowledgement of a Man Overboard Alarm
Press the ALARM button on the Display Console. This mute the man overboard
alarm across the Crewsafe network .
Once muted:
·The audio alarm is reduced to a single beep every 5 seconds on the Display
Console and Internal Routers.
·Active Tags continue to vibrate.
·The STROBE light on all routers and Tags will stop flashing, so that night
vision is not affected.
Note: If a new man overboard, duress, general or manual network alarm is activated
after an earlier alarm has been muted, the system will restart loud repetitive tones
and the STROBE will start flashing again.
Local Internal Router Mute/Acknowledgement of an Alarm
Press the ALARM button on an Internal Router. This only mutes the man overboard
alarm locally.

Mobilarm Ltd. © 2009
Once muted, the audio alarm is reduced to a single beep every 5 seconds on the
local Internal Router router only. The STROBE on this device will also stop flashing,
so that night vision is not affected.
Canceling an Man Overboard Alarm
WARNING: Never cancel an alarm unless you are sure that everyone is
accounted for.
You may wish to cancel a man overboard alarm if:
·A person leaves the vessel carrying an active Tag and disconnects from the
network, or
·An active Tag is lost overboard and cannot be retrieved, or
·A Tag's battery runs flat.
To cancel the alarm using the Display Console:
Press and hold the DIM and ALARM buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds.
This will cancel the alarm across the network, except for the man overboard Tag that
has disconnected (moved out of range of the wireless network). This temporarily
removes the Tag from the Display Console and effectively places it into standby
mode. The next time the Tag is turned on within range of the Display Console it will
rejoin the network automatically.
To cancel the alarm on the disconnected Tag:
1. Press and hold the button on a Tag for 10 seconds, or
2. Bring the Tag back within range of the network.

7.2 Duress Alarm: Raise, Cancel, Mute
If a crew member finds themself in distress but still connected to the network, they can
initiate a manual duress alarm from their Tag.
Raising a Duress Alarm
Press and hold the BUTTON on a Tag for 3 seconds. During this process the Tag
vibrates continuously and its STROBE flashes.
After a duress alarm is raised:
·The Tag initiating the alarm vibrates intermittently and the STROBE on it
flashes.

vibrate.
·The Display Console and any Internal Routers emit loud repetitive tones and
the strobe on them starts to flash.
·The Display Console LED turns red.
·The STROBE on all External Routers starts to flash.
·Any external safety or alarm warning systems that are attached to a router will
also be activated when a duress alarm is activated (when using factory default
relay settings).
·Way point data is sent from the Display Console to a compatible chart plotter
once the alarm is activated.
·If the Crewsafe Management System is connected to your Display Console
then this will display an alert state.
Note: If you are not using the Crewsafe Management System, which can distinguish
between a man overboard and duress alarm, it is best to initially assume that an
alarm from a Tag on the Display Console is a man overboard alarm.

cancels the manual alarm and all other active general and manual alarms
within the system.
3. To cancel an alarm activated by an external warning system wired to an
Internal or External router's switch input, reverse the switch or re-press the
button used to raise the alarm.
After cancellation, all network routers and Tags return to their normal operational
state unless another alarm is active.
7.5 False Alarms
WARNING: Never cancel an alarm unless you are sure that everyone is
accounted for.
A false man overboard alarm may occur on the Crewsafe system if:
a. A person leaves the vessel carrying an active Tag and disconnects from the
network.
b. An active Tag is lost overboard and cannot be retrieved.
c. A Tag's battery runs flat.
A false duress alarm may occur if:
a. Someone unintentionally presses the Tag BUTTON for 3 seconds.
A false manual or general alarm may occur if:
a. Someone unintentionally presses the ALARM BUTTON on a Display Console or
Internal Router, or
b. Someone unintentionally activates an external alarm system that has been wired to
an Internal or External Router's switch input (i.e. presses an emergency button).

7.6 Managing Multiple Alarms
WARNING: Although it is possible that multiple alarms will occur as a result
of several people activating an alarm for the same reason or incident, it is
important to ensure that each alarm is investigated before it is canceled, or
before multiple alarms are canceled from the system simultaneously.
Muting Multiple Alarms
If more than one alarm has been initiated across the network (i.e. more than one
person has initiated an alarm from a router, or multiple Tag alarms are active), press
the ALARM button on the Display Console to mute all current alarms across the
system. It is also possible to locally mute multiple alarms at an Internal Router by
pressing the ALARM button on this router. Any new alarm activated after muting will
restart an audio alarm across the network and reactivate the strobe on Tags.
Canceling Multiple Man Overboard Alarms
If you want to cancel multiple man overboard alarms you need to perform the cancel
function once for each Tag. The earliest man overboard alarm is canceled first and
any other man overboard or duress alarms are canceled in the order in which they
occurred.
Canceling Multiple Duress Alarms
If you want to cancel multiple duress alarms you need to perform the cancel function
once for each Tag. The original duress alarm is canceled first and any subsequent
duress or man overboard alarms are canceled in the order in which they occurred.
Canceling Multiple Manual/General Alarms
Press and hold the DIM and ALARM buttons simultaneously on the Display Console
for 5 seconds to cancel all current general and manual alarms in the system.
Canceling Simultaneous Man Overboard, Duress & General/Manual
Alarms
If both a man overboard or duress alarm and either general and/or manual alarms are
activated simultaneously then they need to be canceled separately.
1. Press and hold the DIM and ALARM buttons simultaneously on the Display
Console for 5 seconds to cancel all current general and manual alarms in the
system.
2. Repeat this process to cancel the active man overboard or Duress alarm.
Note: If you have to cancel multiple man overboard or duress alarms then you need
repeat this process for each Tag in an alarm state. The earliest Tag alarm is
canceled first and any subsequent Tag alarms are canceled in the order in which
![](/img.php?id=1108413&img=bg25.png)
Draft
37Managing Alarms
Mobilarm Ltd. © 2009
they occurred.
Simultaneous Man Overboard & Duress Alarms from the Same Tag
It is possible that a duress alarm could be initiated by a person wearing a Tag and
then they could subsequently fall overboard and the same Tag would then initiate a
man overboard alarm. There are two possible Crewsafe scenarios in this situation:
1. If you are using the Crewsafe Management System it is possible to discern
between the two alarm states and see that both have occurred.
2. If you are:
a. Not using the Crewsafe Management System; and
b. Have not acknowledged the first alarm from the Tag at the Display
Console.
Then the same STROBE, PIEZO and LED alarm states will be displayed on the
Display Console because there is no discernable difference between the two
alarm states.
Important note: If you are not using the Crewsafe Management System,
which can distinguish between a man overboard and duress alarm, it is
best to initially assume that an alarm from a Tag is a man overboard
alarm.
Canceling a Man Overboard and Duress Alarm from the Same Tag
If both a duress and man overboard alarm are activated at the same time from
the same Tag, it is only necessary to perform a single cancel function on the
Display Console to clear the two system alarm states. Press and hold the DIM
and ALARM buttons simultaneously on the Display Console for 5 seconds to
cancel the alarms and remove the Tag from being in an active monitoring state
on the Display Console.
Cancel all System Alarms
As a last resort, it is possible to clear all alarms from the system by turning the
system off at the Display Console.
WARNING: If you turn the system off at the Display Console then it will be
unable to monitor crew on the vessel. The Display Console shuts down all
network components in range. A man overboard, duress, general or
manual alarm cannot be raised while the system is shut down and any
man overboard or duress situation that may occur will not be recorded. All
Tags need to be individually switched on again if the system is temporarily
shut down using the POWER BUTTON on the Display Console.
![](/img.php?id=1108413&img=bg26.png)
Draft
38 DOC-0132 Crewsafe User Manual v.1.2
Mobilarm Ltd. © 2009
Important note: It is important to turn the system off using the POWER
button on the Display Console, rather than disconnecting the supply of
power to the unit. Otherwise, the Display Console will retain all previous
alarm states. In addition, all Tags will go into a man overboard alarm state
and all other routers will lose network connectivity.
8System Maintenance
The following system maintenance tasks may affect the performance of your Crewsafe
system if not carried out correctly. If in any doubt, Mobilarm recommends that you contact
your authorised Mobilarm service agent.
·Adding a new router to the system,
·Adding a new tag to the system,
·Removing a tag from the system,
·Replacing Tag batteries,
·Update system firmware, or
·Factory reset to assign tags to a Display Console.
8.1 Removing a Tag from the System
You may need to remove a Tag from the Crewsafe system if:
·A person leaves the vessel carrying an active Tag, or
·An active Tag is lost overboard and cannot be retrieved, or
·An active Tag has been damaged.
All of the preceding scenarios will result in the Tag disconnecting from the network and
raising a Crewsafe alarm.
If a person leaves the vessel carrying an active Tag:
Press and hold the DIM and ALARM buttons simultaneously on the Display Console
for 5 seconds.
This will cancel the alarm across the network, except for the Tag that has disconnected
(moved out of range of the wireless network). This temporarily removes the Tag from the
Display Console and effectively places it into standby mode. The next time the Tag is
turned on within range of the Display Console it will rejoin the network automatically.
If an active Tag is lost overboard and cannot be retrieved, or has been damaged:
Reset the Display Console back to its factory default settings. This removes all
active tags from the system and should only be done if you want to permanently
remove a lost or damaged Tag.
![](/img.php?id=1108413&img=bg27.png)
Draft
39System Maintenance
Mobilarm Ltd. © 2009
To reset a Display Console to its factory defaults please see the section titled Factory
Reset: Reassign Tags & Routers.
Note: When a Display Console is set back to its factory default settings, it does not
totally reset Tags. Tags retain their previous registration information and simply need to
be reconnected to the network to be reassigned to the Display Console.
8.2 Adding a Tag to the System
New Tags may be added to the Crewsafe network as replacements for lost tags or to
accommodate an increase in crew members.
New Tags may be supplied:
a. Pre-configured with the correct Network ID, or
b. Pre-configured with an incorrect Network ID.
If a Tag is pre-configured with the correct Network ID then it should automatically connect
to the network once it is turned on.
When a Tag that is pre-configured with an incorrect Network ID is turned on and tries to
connect to the existing network, its TAG STATUS LED will flash red.
If a Tag is pre-configured with an incorrect Network ID it needs to be reconfigured with
the correct Network ID for the existing network
Adding a Tag with the Correct Network ID
1. Press the Display Console POWER button to turn the Crewsafe system on.
2. Press the Tag BUTTON.
When a configured Tag is turned on:
·The STROBE light flashes twice and the Tag STATUS LED flashes red briefly.
·The TAG STATUS LED flashes green once it has been registered to the
network successfully.
·The next available TAG STATUS LED on the Display Console is allocated to
the new Tag and illuminates solid green.
Reconfigure a Tag to the Correct Network ID
Reconfiguration of a Tag to the correct Network ID can be performed using the
Display Console, or a configured Tag, i.e. one that has connected to the network
previously.
Reconfiguration using a Display Console
This is the simplest way to reconfigure a Tag to the existing network.

1. Press the Display Console POWER button to turn the Crewsafe system
on.
2. Press the POWER and ALARM buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds.
This places the Display Console into configuration mode and the unused
Tag LEDs on the router cycle green. The Display Console remains in
configuration mode for 60 seconds.
3. Align the Tag lens to within 150 mm (6 in) of the strobe lens on the Display
Console. This enables infrared data transfer of the Network ID.
4. While the Display Console is in configuration mode, press the button on
the Tag. The Tag STROBE flashes twice followed by short red LED
flashes until it has acquired the Network ID.
5. Once the Tag has acquired the Network ID it enters 'acquisition mode'.
The TAG STATUS LED turns solid green and the STROBE flashes.
6. Within 20 seconds of the Tag entering this 'acquisition mode', press the
Tag button to confirm reconfiguration of the Tag.
The Tag should now connect to the network and the Tag's LED should flash
green. The next available TAG STATUS LED on the Display Console is allocated
to the new Tag and illuminates solid green.
Note: If a Tag is not successfully programmed with the Network ID it will
continue to flash red until the Network ID acquisition process times out.
If a Tag does not connect to the network after several attempts, please see the
Tag section of the troubleshooting guide to diagnose the problem.
Reconfiguration using a Tag
Reconfiguration of a Tag can be performed using a configured tag in wand
mode. A Tag remains in wand mode for 2 minutes from wand mode activation.
1. Turn on the Display Console.
2. Ensure that the configured Tag you are using as the 'wand' Tag is turned
off.
3. Press and hold the button on the configured Tag for 10 seconds. This
places the Tag into wand mode and its LED will flash alternately red and
![](/img.php?id=1108413&img=bg29.png)
Draft
41System Maintenance
Mobilarm Ltd. © 2009
green.
4. While the configured Tag is in wand mode, press the BUTTON of the Tag
to be reconfigured to turn it on. The STROBE on this Tag flashes twice
and then its LED displays short red flashes.
5. Align the lenses of both tags so that they face each other. This enables
infrared data transfer of the Network ID. The Tag being reconfigured
should:
·Flash its STROBE twice alternately with a green LED indication.
·Display a sequence of fast red flashes as it is reprogrammed.
5. When the Network ID data is sent successfully the Tag will display green
LED flashes.
6. Check the Display Console for a new green Tag LED. This confirms that
the Tag has been successfully added to the network.
7. The wand Tag will automatically time-out after two minutes and turn itself
off. Placing the Tag into a Power Dock will also turn wand mode off.
8.3 Replacing Tag Batteries
WARNING: Crewsafe Tags are factory fitted with high-performance 3.6
volt CR2 Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries and these must only be
replaced by an approved Mobilarm service agent or the warranty is
voided. Non-rechargeable batteries cannot be used in Tags and if installed
they may rupture, leak or explode causing personal injury.
Rechargeable batteries can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but they will
eventually wear out. If a Tag's operation time appears to be significantly lower than it
should be after charging, the battery most likely needs replacing. Mobilarm recommends
using only high-performance 3.6 volt CR2 Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries in Crewsafe
Tags. To replace a battery in a Tag please return it to an authorized Mobilarm dealer for
servicing.
8.4 Adding a Router to the System
Internal or External Routers can be added to a Crewsafe network to increase the
footprint, reliability and redundancy of the system, or to replace an existing device.
New routers may be supplied:
a. Pre-configured with the correct Network ID, or
b. Pre-configured with an incorrect Network ID.
If an Internal or External Router is pre-configured with the correct Network ID then it
should automatically connect to the network once it is turned on.
When an Internal or External Router that is pre-configured with an incorrect Network ID is
turned on and tries to connect to the existing network, it will display as follows:
a. The NETWORK STATUS LED will flash purple when turned on and then go into
standby mode where no LEDs are illuminated, or
![](/img.php?id=1108413&img=bg2a.png)
Draft
42 DOC-0132 Crewsafe User Manual v.1.2
Mobilarm Ltd. © 2009
b. The NETWORK STATUS LED will flash purple when turned on and then flash blue
in the 'unsuccessful network connection' error state.
If an Internal or External Router is pre-configured with an incorrect Network ID it needs to
be reconfigured with the correct Network ID for the existing network.
Adding a Router with a Correct Network ID
1. Install the new router and attach ship's power to it.
2. Turn the Crewsafe system on by pressing the Display Console POWER button.
The router will:
·Automatically search for a network that matches its internally programmed
Network ID.
·Display a flashing blue NETWORK STATUS INDICATOR LED while it is being
added to the network.
·Display a solid blue NETWORK STATUS INDICATOR LED once it has
connected to the network.
Reconfigure a Router to the Correct Network ID
Reconfiguration of a router to the correct Network ID requires a configured Tag, i.e.
one that has connected to the network previously.
1. Turn the Crewsafe system on by pressing the Display Console POWER
button.
2. Ensure the configured Tag is turned off.
![](/img.php?id=1108413&img=bg2b.png)
Draft
43System Maintenance
Mobilarm Ltd. © 2009
3. Press and hold the button on the configured Tag for 10 seconds. This places
the Tag into wand mode and its LED will flash alternately red and green.
4. While the configured Tag is in wand mode, align the Tag lens to within 150
mm (6 in) of the strobe lens on the router to be reconfigured. This enables
infrared data transfer of the Network ID.
5. When the Network ID data is sent successfully then the router's STROBE will
flash twice and the NETWORK STATUS LED will turn solid blue when it
connects successfully to the network.
6. The Tag will automatically time-out after two minutes and turn itself off. Placing
the Tag into a Power Dock will also turn wand mode off.
If a router does not connect to the network after several attempts, please see the
router section of the troubleshooting guide to diagnose the problem.
8.5 Updating Crewsafe Firmware
It may be necessary to upgrade firmware in order to update or expand the capability of
your Crewsafe system. Upgrades to firmware can only be performed by Mobilarm or your
Mobilarm dealer. Please contact your dealer if you need to upgrade your system.

8.6 Factory Reset: Reassign Tags & Routers
Tags are initially assigned to a Display Console panel in the order in which they are
registered to the network. It is possible to change the order of Tags on a Display Console,
or remove Tags from the system, by performing a factory reset on the Display Console.
The system is limited to 12 Tags if a Display Console is used without the Crewsafe
Management System because there is a maximum of 12 TAG STATUS LEDs on the
Console.
Technical Tip: A factory reset can only be performed if the system is
turned off and the Display Console has ship's power connected to it. Once
you have performed a factory reset you must turn off power to all Internal
and External Routers, or the routers will not rejoin the network. The only
way to do this is to briefly turn off ship's power to all Internal and External
Routers.
Initiating a Factory Reset
To initiate a factory reset of a Crewsafe system, simultaneously press and hold the
ALARM, DIM and POWER buttons for 5 seconds.
During initialization:
1. The Display Console NETWORK STATUS LED flashes red and all lights on
the front panel flash orange 8 times.
2. All lights go out for a couple of seconds.
3. All lights on the front panel illuminate orange and the NETWORK STATUS
LED illuminates purple for a couple of seconds.
4. The NETWORK STATUS LED flashes blue as it attempts to reconnect the
network of installed routers.
After performing the factory reset:
·All routers in range are automatically rejoined to the network.
·All Tags are reassigned to the Display Console when they are switched on (in
the order that information is received from them).

45System Maintenance
Mobilarm Ltd. © 2009
Note: When a Display Console is set back to its factory default settings, it does not
totally reset Tags. Tags retain their previous registration information and simply need to
be reconnected to the network to be reassigned to the Display Console.
Managing the Registration Order of Tags on the Display Console
To manage the order in which Tags are reassigned to the Display Console, simply
switch on each Tag in the order that you want them to be listed on the Display
Console front panel. Wait for each Tag to be registered and then turn the next Tag on
and so forth.
Naming Tags
The name of the person wearing a Tag can be written on the pre-printed stickers
supplied with each system and placed next to the LED for their Tag to identify them. If
you are using the Crewsafe Management System you can assign alpha-numeric
names to your crew and view their Tag status on a PC (see the Crewsafe
Management System User Manual).
9Maintaining System Components
Mobilarm Crewsafe systems are extremely robust and designed for operating in the
harshest conditions encountered when at sea. Despite this, we recommend that the unit
is looked after as carefully as possible when in use. Please try to avoid:
·Dropping any component;
·Leaving components like Tags exposed to the elements unnecessarily when not in
use; and
·Leaving Tags or other components unnecessarily in full sun on an instrument panel
or dashboard, which may expose the components to excessively high
temperatures.
Carefully inspect your Crewsafe system over time for any visible cracks as a result of
misuse, or system components being dropped and taking heavy knocks. Any cracking
could lead to moisture being admitted to the components - rendering the system
unreliable or unusable. If cracking is observed, or if you suspect that a component has
been damaged in some way, please return it to your place of purchase for it to be
assessed and replaced if required.
Battery
The shelf life for Tag batteries is 2 years. The battery charge state is indicated on the
Display Console, or by the Crewsafe Management System. A low battery warning
indication indicates that a Tag should be recharged. If a Tag's operation time appears
to be lower than it should be after charging, the battery most likely needs replacing by
an authorized Mobilarm dealer.

11.1 Troubleshooting Guide
ALARMS
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Someone has set
of a duress alarm
by mistake, how
do I turn it off?
There are two ways to turn off a false duress alarm:
1. Press and hold the BUTTON on the Tag that the alarm
originated from for three seconds. This sends a message to the
network to cancel the duress alarm state. Once canceled, the
Tag and all system components return to the active monitoring
state.
2. Press and hold the DIM and ALARM buttons simultaneously on
the Display Console for 5 seconds. This removes the Tag from
being in an active monitoring state on the Display Console.
Someone has
dropped a Tag
overboard and
lost it, how do I
turn off the
alarm?
To cancel a false man overboard alarm across the Crewsafe
network, press and hold the DIM and ALARM buttons
simultaneously on the Display Console for 5 seconds. This
removes the Tag from being in an active monitoring state on the
Display Console - effectively placing it into standby mode. To
remove a permanently lost Tag, perform a factory reset and switch
all remaining Tags on so that they rejoin the network.
Someone has
walked off the
vessel while
wearing an active
Tag, the man
overboard alarm
is sounding so
how can I turn it
off?
The crew member has caused a false man overboard alarm. To
cancel a false man overboard alarm across the Crewsafe network,
press and hold the DIM and ALARM buttons simultaneously on the
Display Console for 5 seconds. This removes the Tag from being
in an active monitoring state on the Display Console - effectively
placing it into standby mode.
Someone has set
off a false alarm
using an Internal
Router, how do I
cancel it?
A false manual alarm can be cleared across the network by
pressing and holding the DIM and ALARM buttons simultaneously
on the Display Console for 5 seconds.
If someone sets
off a manual
alarm, how can I
identify where the
alarm has
originated from?
If you are not sure who has set the alarm off, you can mute the
entire system, except for the Internal Router that the alarm
originated from, by pressing the ALARM button on the Display
Console. The router that initiated the alarm continues to emit loud
repetitive tones and strobe to enable the crew on a vessel to
identify the source of the alarm.
Every time
someone goes to
one section of the
vessel an man
overboard alarm
is activated, even
though nobody
If the network is not providing sufficient coverage over all areas of
the boat a man overboard alarm may be activated. This occurs
because the Tag loses contact with the network and the system
thinks the person has fallen overboard. This can be solved by
adding another router to the section or sections of the boat that are
causing problems.

has fallen
overboard?
Every time we sail
past a particular
spot a man
overboard alarm
is activated, what
could be causing
this?
If the system is operational and becomes swamped by radio
frequency signals, it may lose contact with active Tags and go into
a man overboard state. This could be caused by very high-energy
RF transmissions, or a device in the vicinity transmitting on the
same channel as the Crewsafe system.To get around this, you
could turn the system off and then on again in the vicinity of the
interfering transmissions. The Display Console will automatically
attempt to connect the system to an interference-free channel on
system power up. There is an excellent chance it will connect to a
channel that is unaffected by the RF signals that previously caused
problems.
ROUTERS
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
My router's
NETWORK
STATUS LED
Flashes Red when
it is Switched On
If your router flashes red when it is switched on then it has not
been configured with a compatible Network ID for the system.
Network IDs are usually factory or dealer configured for each
network. Check the Network ID (PAN ID) displayed on any internal
or external router against the one displayed on the Display Console
to ensure they match. If it doesn't match you will need to
reprogram your router.
My router's
NETWORK
STATUS LED
continues with
long blue flashes
after power up
Configured routers display long blue flashes initially on power up
while all network routers join the network. The NETWORK
STATUS LED is solid blue once a router joins the network. If your
router continues to display long blue flashes then it is probably
programmed with an incorrect Network ID and won't join the
network until it is reconfigured.
My router's
NETWORK
STATUS LED
flashes purple on
power up and
then isn't
illuminated
If a router has been used previously and was correctly powered
down before being removed from its previous network, the
NETWORK STATUS LED will flash purple on power up and then
go into standby mode where no LEDs are illuminated. The router
needs to be reconfigured with a correct Network ID.
After the network
is powered up,
the NETWORK
STATUS LED on
one of the routers
is orange
If any of the routers on the network fail a self test when power is
applied to them an orange fault LED is displayed. The faulty router
should be returned to your Mobilarm dealer for evaluation.
When I power up
the Display
Console the
NETWORK
STATUS LED
flashes blue and
There could be RF interference in the vicinity. If the network
experiences radio frequency interference on power up, the Display
Console automatically searches for a new channel that is free of
interference. Normally, the Display Console connects to a "quiet"
channel unless it is completely "swamped" by RF in the vicinity. If it
is unable to find an interference-free channel, the Display Console

then turns off
and the network goes into a standby state and the router
NETWORK STATUS INDICATOR LEDs will be off.
My router's
NETWORK
STATUS LED is
flashing blue very
quickly
If a router flashes blue very quickly then it has a problem and has
lost connection with the network, or has not been configured for the
ship's network. Other routers on the network display long blue
flashes to signify that one or more of the routers on the network
have lost network connectivity. A faulty router should be returned to
your Mobilarm dealer for evaluation and a non-configured router
can be reprogrammed on the vessel.
My Display
Console is faulty
and I need to
replace it, can I
use the same
Network ID to
avoid
reprogramming
the network?
Absolutely. In the unlikely event that an Display Console fails,
simple contact your nearest Mobilarm dealer and supply the serial
number and PAN ID (Network ID) displayed on your faulty router. A
new Display Console with the same settings can be supplied to
avoid having to reprogram your entire network.
TAGS
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
My Tag STATUS
LED Flashes Red
when it is
Switched On
If a Tag's STATUS INDICATOR LED displays short red flashes on
power up then it is not configured for the network. If a Tag's status
LED displays long red flashes on power up then it is not configured
with a correct Network ID. Network IDs are factory or dealer
configured. Check the Network ID (PAN ID) displayed on any non-
configured Tag against the one displayed on your Display Console
to ensure they match.
My Tag STATUS
LED is flashing
orange and the
Tag is vibrating
intermittently,
what does this
mean?
The battery is getting low so it should be put on charge if possible.
If the battery in the Tag is in good condition then it should last for
around 10 hours from when the low battery indication commences.
A man overboard alarm will occur if the battery runs flat.
My Tag has been
charged but the
battery is not
lasting very long
All rechargeable batteries have a limited life. This will vary a little
depending on the operating environment of the Tag. If a Tag's
operation time is significantly lower than it should be after charging,
the battery most likely needs replacing.
My Tag was
charging in the
Power Dock and
the Tag's LED is
solid red - is there
a problem?
If a fault occurs during charging then the LED on a Tag turns solid
red. This may occur if the Tag and battery get too hot (let it cool
down and try to charge it again). It may also occur if a battery or a
Tag is faulty. If this is the case, the Tag should be returned to your
Crewsafe system dealer.
We lost a Tag
overboard, how
If a Tag is lost, clear any alarm from the system using the cancel
alarm function on your Display Console.

do I remove it
from the system?
There is no need to reprogram the system if a Tag is lost, as long
as you have enough spare Tag STATUS LEDs available on your
Display Console.
I can't seem to
reconfigure a new
Tag for my
existing Crewsafe
network, what can
I check?
If a Tag does not successfully become registered to the system,
please ensure that your Tag lens is within 150mm (6 in) of the
Display Console's strobe lens.
POWER DOCKS
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
If a fault occurs during charging, the LED on a Tag displays as
solid red. If a Power Dock bay is short-circuited by either a Tag or
something placed into the bay, the Power Dock will shut down and
the green LED on the dock will go out.

11.2 FAQs
System Configuration & Operation
Q: I seem to be having trouble connecting my new Tag to the network?
A: You probably need to configure your new Tag for the network. Tags need to be
registered to the network before they can connect to it. Tags also need to be
programmed with the Network ID for the current network in order to connect. The correct
Network ID can be sent to a Tag by placing the Display Console into configuration mode
(press and hold the POWER and ALARM buttons) and placing the non-programmed Tag
in close proximity to the Display Console. Turn the Tag on, wait for it to recognize the
network (LED is solid green) and then press the Tag button to confirm programming of
the Tag. The Tag should appear as the next available TAG STATUS LED on the Display
Console when successfully programmed. (The section of the Crewsafe manual titled
Adding a Tag to the System explains this procedure in detail.)
Q: My internal and external routers don't seem to be connecting to the network?
A: If a router is not configured for a network, or it is pre-configured with the Network ID for
a different network, it needs to be configured with the current Network ID in order to be
registered. If your routers' NETWORK STATUS LEDs are flashing red then they haven't
been configured with a Network ID. If the NETWORK STATUS LED on a router flashes
purple on power up and subsequently doesn't illuminate or flashes blue, then it is
probably programmed with an incorrect Network ID.
To configure a router please perform the following:
1. Turn the system on, including the router to be programmed, by pressing the Display
Console POWER button.
2. Press and hold the button on a configured Tag (one that has connected to the
network previously) while it is switched off for 10 seconds. When the Tag enters
wand mode the LED on it alternately flashes red and green.
3. While the configured Tag is in wand mode, place the Tag in close proximity to the
router being programmed and press the wand Tag's POWER button. This initiates
programming of the router with a new Network ID for the new network.
4. If the Network ID data is sent successfully then the router's STROBE will flash twice
and the NETWORK STATUS LED will turn blue when it connects successfully to
the network.
5. To exit wand mode, press and hold the button on the wand Tag for a few seconds
until the LED stops flashing and it enters standby mode.
Q: When I power up the Display Console the NETWORK STATUS LED flashes
blue and then turns off, what's going on?
It's possible that the network is experiencing radio frequency interference on power up.
Normally the Display Console automatically searches for a new channel that is free of
interference when it is switched on and it connects to a "quiet" channel - unless it is
![](/img.php?id=1108413&img=bg35.png)

completely "swamped" by RF in the vicinity. If it is unable to find an interference-free
channel, the Display Console and the network goes into a standby state and the router
NETWORK STATUS INDICATOR LEDs will be off. If you are in an area with lots of RF
around, try to power the system up again when you have shifted position slightly.
False Alarms & Operational Issues
Q: If someone accidentally loses a Tag overboard or walks off the boat with a Tag,
how do I cancel the alarm?
A: The simplest way to cancel any false alarm is to press and hold the DIM and ALARM
buttons simultaneously on the Display Console for 5 seconds. This removes the affected
Tag from the Display Console front panel and effectively places it into standby mode.
Q: If someone accidentally loses a Tag or damages it, how do I remove it from the
system?
A: If a Tag is lost, clear any alarm from the system using the cancel alarm function on
your Display Console.
There is no need to reprogram the system if a Tag is lost, as long as you have enough
spare TAG STATUS LEDs available on your Display Console.
For more information on resetting an Display Console to its factory defaults please see
the section titled Factory Reset: Reassign Routers & Tags.
