PLUS INstallation and Operation Guide

Product catalog summary
Overview
This document provides guidance for the installation and operation of the SonicShield PLUS system, excluding the antifouling system which is covered separately. It is divided into two main sections: Installation Guide and Operation Manual.
Installation Guide
  • Kit Contents: The kit includes a GSM Modem, PIR, Sound Bomb, Float Switch, and a SIM Card (UK only).
  • PIR Installation: Install the PIR in the main cabin area, avoiding direct sunlight and obstructions, ensuring the cable reaches the control unit.
  • Float Switch Installation: Attach the float switch to the bilge area bulkhead to detect water presence and send alerts via SMS.
  • Sound Bomb Installation: Install the sound bomb, which emits 111Db, in the saloon area.
  • GSM Modem Installation: Insert the SIM card into the modem and ensure strong signal reception for sending/receiving messages.
  • Control Box Connections: Connect cables to the control unit as per instructions, ensuring no power is connected during this process.
Operation Manual
  • Setting Up Master and Secondary Numbers: Program N1 (mandatory) and N2 (optional) for system control and alerts.
  • Table of Commands: Includes commands for programming numbers, arming/disarming the alarm, and setting entry/exit times.
  • Visual List of Commands: Screenshots demonstrate command inputs and system responses.
  • Alerts and Warnings: Describes messages sent for entry detection, alarm status, and other alerts.
Alarm System Specifications and Procedures
  • Alarm Tripped: An 'Alarm Tripped' message is sent when the alarm is activated due to inaction after an 'Entry Detected' alert, triggering the sound bomb. Reset by sending an 'Alarm On' command or allow automatic reset if 'ReArm' is enabled.
  • False Alarm: A 'False Alarm' message is sent when movement is detected by the PIR sensor without activating the alarm, linked to the PIR COUNT sensitivity setting.
  • Float Alarm - HI: Sent when the bilge float switch is activated, indicating potential excess water, changing FLOAT status to 'HI'.
  • Last Error Reset - Float: Sent when the float switch returns to normal, changing FLOAT status to 'OK'.
  • Low Voltage Alert: Sent when battery voltage drops below specified levels (VB12 < 11.60 or VB24 < 23.20).
  • Last Error Reset - Battery: Sent when battery voltage recovers above specified levels (VB12 > 11.60 or VB24 > 23.20).
