MOORING ALARM
The user can set the ‘home’ mooring position to enable Yacht Sentinel to monitor the movement
of the boat at moorings. This is especially useful when on swing moorings as should the boat
begin to drift outside a 30 meter radius from the mooring point then a MOVE-OUT alarm will be
sent to the pre-set mobiles. This feature uses advanced GPS Geo-fencing techniques to monitor
that the boat is within the defined 30 meter radius. When the boat returns to the geo-fence area
then a MOVE-IN alarm SMS is sent informing the user that the boat has returned to the mooring
location. With each alarm the text also contains Latitude, Longitude, Course (COG) & speed
(SOG) in knots.

GPS TRACKING
GPS track information is sent as an SMS containing Latitude, Longitude, Course Over Ground
(COG) and Speed Over Ground in knots (SOG) as an SMS text to the user’s mobile, the user then
can enter this into Google maps to visualize the location. The unit will continue to do continuous
tracking for at least 5 days without connection to power. This information can be obtained by the
user at any time through status request and by anyone you wish to give the PIN number and
mobile number.
Bilge Alarm Sensors
BILGE-ALARM
- Requires optional bilge sensor
The bilge level of the boat can be monitored, two sensors are placed either side of the bilge to
cancel out ‘slop’ in the bilges due to wave action. Should both sensors detect an increase in the
water level in the bilge then Yacht Sentinel will send an SMS alarm.
Installing the bilge sensor is simplicity itself, the sensors are stuck to each side of the bilge and
are wired to a connector on the side of Yacht Sentinel. All cables and connectors are supplied with
the sensor kit.

Hatch/Door Switch Infrared Detector
ENTRY-ALARM
- Requires optional hatch sensor or movement detector.
The Entry Alarm option is to enable detection of unauthorised entry into the cabin of the boat.
Magnetic sensors are placed on the hatch entry, and sensors are wired to Yacht Sentinel by a
simple connector. Should the hatch be opened magnetic sensors detect the hatch opening which
in turn causes Yacht Sentinel to send a Hatch Alarm SMS to the user. The Intruder Alarm is
enabled/disabled via the parameter SMS simple by sending a text e.g. Hatch alarm=yes to the
Yacht Sentinel.
LOW POWER USAGE
Low Power Swing Mooring Compatible, Yacht Sentinel was designed to be able to run on a typical
boat battery for many months. This means that boat owners on swing moorings, far from any
shore power, can also take advantage of the features of Yacht Sentinel. Yacht Sentinel was
designed using the very latest in low-power devices to minimise power consumption. Yacht
Sentinel also uses innovative software to ensure efficient use of microcontroller, GPS and GSM
modules to reduce average power consumption to under 0.008 Ampere (8mA).
Yacht Sentinel is also compliant to CE mark.
ANCHOR-ALARM
When at anchor your Yacht Sentinel can let you know if your anchor is dragging and even inform
you of the current latitude, longitude the speed over ground (SOG) in knots and the course over
ground (COG). Unlike other systems it actually sends you an SMS alarm right to your mobile, be it
on board, shopping or in a restaurant. The system uses geofencing techniques and monitors
continually your position relative to your anchor location. You enable your anchor alarm and set
the swing diameter in steps of 5 meters via a simple SMS text to your Yacht Sentinel. Once you
have enabled the anchor alarm, Yacht Sentinel automatically stores your GPS co-ordinates and
monitors the swing of your craft.

BATTERY-ALARM
If your boat is on a swing mooring or you don’t have access to shore power, it is important to be
able to monitor the boat battery condition so that when you return to your boat it is ready to go.
Yacht Sentinel is able to monitor both 12vDC and 24vDC boat battery systems. Yacht Sentinel
monitors the voltage level of the battery and should the voltage drop by at least 1v, indicating the
battery is becoming discharged, Yacht Sentinel will send an SMS alarm to your mobile. Yacht
Sentinel draws very low current allowing it to operate for months on a typical boat battery and can
operate for up to 5 days without any external power through its own internal battery.
POWER-ALARM
Your boat is in the marina and you have shore power connected, charging the boat battery and
running your fridge. Then, unfortunately, there is a short power cut, or a fault in the shore power,
but the problem is you are not aware of the loss of power.
Yacht Sentinel will send an SMS alarm if there is a loss of 240v AC shore power to the berthed
boat, enabling you to either contact the marina or correct the problem
