Thank you for choosing Coastkey
Equipped with CoastKey, you can move safely and freely around the
boat and preserve the Kill Switch function without being attached to
the traditional kill cord. With CoastKey, you also have the option to
control up to four engines at the same time.
It is recommended that the CoastKey system is installed by a
professional, with good knowledge of electrical connections.
Please read the user manual carefully before using the CoastKey
system. Keep the user manual for future reference.
Radio range
The CoastKey system will normally provide you with a safety range of
6-10 meters from the location of the start panel. Keep in mind that
the range will depend on the surroundings around the boat and where
the start panel is placed. Therefore, the exact safety range will vary. It
is important that you get familiar with the range after the system is
installed. We recommend that you do a test of the safety range on
board your boat. This should be done in open sea while you move
around the boat.

Setup when installing the system
First time power is turned on the Start Panel, the yellow LED will flash
quickly. This means that a PIN must be created. Enter your required
PIN. The code must be a combination of the numbers 1-4 (Figures 1, 1
to 4). The code may have 4-6 digits. Then press the START button to
confirm your PIN. Write down and take care of your PIN code! Your
PIN is the system's key (see separate section on PIN).
When the panel is opened, the supplied FOB device can be paired /
connected to the system. To pair FOB with Start Panel, do the
following:
Sequence
Action
1.
Hold the START button (fig.1, 5a) and the up arrow
button (fig.1, 1) at the same time.
2.
After 5 seconds, yellow LED (fig.1, 6) will start
flashing.
3.
Release START (fig.1, 5a) and up arrow button (fig.1,
1).
4.
Press and hold
Center
button (fig.2, 5)
on FOB.
5.
After approx. 5 seconds, the green LED on the FOB
will flash fast 5 times.

7.
Release the
Center
button (fig.2, 5) on FOB.
8.
FOB and Start
Panel are now paired / connected.

6
NOTE: If the yellow LED does not flash when Start Panel is powered,
the system has received a PIN at the factory. The default PIN code
will then be: 1 2 3 4. In this case, FOB will already be paired with the
Start Panel. It is recommended that you change this password. See
how in the chapter "Change PIN."
NOTE:
• All engines must have separate starter batteries.
• Tilt the engine(s) into the water before starting the engine(s) to
avoid damage.
• If a manual Kill Switch is installed, it must be properly secured
before the engine(s) can be started.
• The main power switch must always be turned off when the
boat is not in use.

channel option. Two channels are standard for multi-engine
installation (Multi installation).
The AUX function can be used for f.ex. tilt of motors up / down,
anchor winch, bow propeller etc.
Channel 1 is controlled by arrow keys (fig.3, 1 and 3) above and below
the START / ON / OFF buttons while channel 2 is controlled from the
arrow keys (fig.3, 2 and 4) on each side of the START / ON / OFF
buttons.
NOTE:
• By default, the AUX channels are set to provide 12 / 24V. Both
channels can configure to active high or active low signals,
depending on the third-party equipment used.
• Common for both channels is max voltage of 24V and max load
of 5 amps.

the Master FOB device. When using the Master FOB device, PIN code
entry is not required to open the Start Panel. If the boat is equipped
with several engines, a common ignition and start signal will be given.

IMPORTANT:
CoastKey will only work as a Kill Switch if the Master FOB unit is
used for ignition on / off engine(s). Activation of the Kill Switch
function is done automatically when you use the Master FOB device
to start the engine(s). If you choose to start from the Start Panel, you
can activate the Kill Switch function by pressing and releasing the
center button (Figure 4-5).

The Kill Switch Function - MOB
If the boat driver falls overboard with the Master FOB unit attached to

the start panel will output a beep for 12 seconds and start flashing red
as an indication of a MOB situation.
NOTE:
The gear lever must be in neutral for the engine(s) to start.
WARNING:
The CoastKey system will only work as a Kill Switch if the Master
FOB device is enabled.
CoastKey will only stop the engine(s) if the driver falls overboard and
has the Master FOB unit attached. NEVER leave the Master FOB
device in the boat while driving.
CoastKey will not stop the engine(s) in case of fall aboard the boat.
The center button on the Master FOB unit must then be pressed and
held to stop the engine(s).
When the driver is back in the boat after a MOB situation, the
Master FOB unit must be reactivated for the Kill Switch function to
be connected.
