1. Accept the alarm with the OLAS App. 2. Bring the Tag within 1 metre of the Guardian.
3. Cancel the alarm on the Guardian by pressing the
control switch once.
4. Navigate to the Alert Settings in the OLAS App.
5. Adjust the Alert Delay to 4 seconds. This means when the
connection is broken the Guardian will give a warning for 4
seconds, with fast beeps, before it activates the alarm. This can
help you to understand what action is breaking the connection.
If the Tag is brought back into range during this period the
alert is canceled.
6. Walk to the location where the Tag previously set off
the alarm and then continue walking around the vessel.
If you hear the fast beeping walk back and the Tag
should reconnect and cancel the alarm.
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.

If false alarms continue an additional OLAS Extender is required to cover the signal ‘black spot’. Using an
Extender will also allow you to reduce the Alert Delay and Detection Time back down to the minimum 2
seconds. Up to 2 Extenders can be used in a single OLAS system.
9. If a false alarm activates again return to step 1 and increase the Detection Time. This increases the amount of time a tag
has to reconnect silently. During this period you will not hear the Alert Delay alarm. The Alert Delay alarm will activate if
a Tag is still missing after the Alert delay period has finished.

7. You should always try to install your Guardian at least
0.5 metres from any equipment transmitting radio
signals including VHF Radios, antennas and cables.
8. If located within 0.5 metres 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.
