2. Bring the Tag within 1 meter of the Guardian.
3. Cancel the alarm on the Guardian by pressing the
control switch once. After 10 seconds the system will be
tracking again.
4. Navigate to the Alert Settings in the ACR OLAS App.
5. Adjust the Alert Delay to 4 seconds. This means if the
connection between the Tag and the Guardian is broken
for longer than 4 seconds the alarm will sound.
6. Walk to the location where the Tag previously set off
the alarm and then continue walking around the vessel.
If you experience a false alarm whilst testing the system, it is likely because the connection between the Tag and the
Guardian was broken for longer than 3 seconds. If this occurs carry out the following steps to adjust your system.

7. You should always try to install your Guardian at least
0.5 meters from any equipment transmitting radio
signals including VHF Radios, antennas and cables.
8. If located within 0.5 meters it is possible false alarms may occur. If you
are experiencing false alarms try moving the Guardian hub away from
other electrical devices and then carry out the Guardian setup and
range test to see if the false alarms still occur.
0.75m extension leads are avaible for the Guardian control switch cable
and the Power and Signal wires.
If false alarms continue after 8 seconds an additional OLAS Extender is required to cover the signal ‘black spot’.
Using an Extender will also allow you to reduce the 'Alert Delay' back done to the default of 2 seconds.
