OLAS TRANSMITTERS
OLAS RECEIVERS
OLAS MOBILE APPLICATION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
OLAS N2K INSTALLATION
The OLAS T2, OLAS Tag and OLAS FLOAT-ON are considered OLAS transmitters. They emit a Bluetooth
signal which is monitored by the OLAS receivers. The OLAS N2K is supplied with the OLAS T2 transmitter,
however any OLAS Tag or OLAS FLOAT-ON can be tracked.
The OLAS receivers track the OLAS transmitters. OLAS receivers are:
1. OLAS N2K
2. Guardian
3. Core
4. OLAS Mobile application
5. Extender - This operates as a repeater to increase the range of the OLAS N2K, Guardian and Core
The OLAS mobile application allows the OLAS transmitters to be used as a MOB/proximity alarm if
used solely with OLAS transmitters. When an OLAS transmitter goes out of range an alarm is set off and
overboard screens are activated.
When the OLAS mobile application is connected to the OLAS N2K, Guardian or Core it allows greater
control over the OLAS transmitters that are being tracked.
For iOS search for ‘OLAS: Wireless Marine Safety’ on the App Store.
For Android search for ‘Exposure OLAS – MOB Alert’ on the Google Play Store.
The OLAS N2K has been designed for recreational marine use. The design conforms to appropriate
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations but for optimal performance correct installation is required.
For optimum performance the mobile device and the OLAS N2K should be located at least 0.5 metres from
any equipment transmitting radio signals including VHF Radios, antennas and cables.
- 0.75 metre Extension cable is available for the control switch. P/N: EXPOLASSWITCHEXT
- 1 metre extension cable is available for the NMEA 2000 connection. P/N: EXPOLASN2KDCABLE1M
WARNING: Do not attempt to install the OLAS N2K until you know that the power supply is switched OFF.
Where required use the supplied wire connectors which are suitable for connecting wire dimension 20-
18AWG. If wire extensions are required use 18AWG or thicker wire.
Ensure all wire connections are waterproof using marine specic connectors, such as heat shrinkable
butt splices.
1. When selecting a location to mount your OLAS N2K hub check there is an NMEA 2000 backbone
within 1 metre. Additional 1 metre drop cables can be purchased if an extension is required
P/N:EXPOLASN2KDCABLE1M.
2. The control switch mounting location should be within 0.5 metres of the OLAS N2K hub. A 0.75
metre extension cable can be purchased for the control switch P/N: EXPOLASSWITCHEXT.
3. For connection into the engine stop system the OLAS N2K hub will need to be within 0.5 metres
of the existing stop switch or associated wires. The wires from the OLAS N2K engine cable can
be extended with 18AWG or thicker wire. Ensure a watertight connection by using waterproof
connectors.

CONNECTING INTO THE NMEA 2000 BACKBONE
CONNECTING THE CONTROL SWITCH
Switch the orientation of the securing nut shown below, dependent on panel thickness:
1. Split the backbone and add a T-connector. The required NMEA 2000 T-connector can be purchased
P/N: EXPOLASN2KTCONN.
2. Connect the supplied NMEA 2000 Drop cable into the OLAS N2K hub.
3. Connect the OLAS N2K to the NMEA 2000 backbone using the supplied cable.
1. If connecting the OLAS N2K into the vessel’s existing kill switch system, it is advised to mount the
control switch near to the existing kill switch.
2. Drill a 21mm (0.8”) diameter hole.
Tip: If using a hole saw, placing masking tape over the area to be cut can help produce a smooth
edge.
3. Use the cutting template provided to help position the hole location prior to drilling.
4. Ensure the control switch is mounted securely. If the panel thickness is greater than 18mm a longer

CONNECTING THE SIGNAL WIRES ALONGSIDE YOUR EXISTING KILL SWITCH
1. Check with your engine manufacture if the kill switch is operated by closing the circuit or opening the
circuit. Most engines operate by closing the circuit to stop the engine.
Close to stop systems should connect in parallel to your existing kill switch.
Open to stop systems should connect in series to your existing kill switch.
2. There are 3 signal wires:
Black = COMMON
Green = CLOSE TO STOP
White = OPEN TO STOP
3. Connect the black wire to the existing kill switch common wire.
4. Connect the green wire to the remaining kill switch wire if your system uses the close to stop system.
5. Connect the white wire to the remaining kill switch wire if your system uses the open to stop system.
NOTE: ONLY two signal wires should be connected.
6. Close off the remaining wire with the supplied end cap.
SECURE THE OLAS N2K HUB
CONNECTION DIAGRAM
1. Find a location where the hub can be securely attached, and the power and switch wires can remain
securely attached to the hub.
2. The attachment screws provided are self-tapping for plastic / wood so can be screwed directly
into the center console. Ensure the attachment point is thicker than the attachment screws to avoid
screwing through the panel.
3. Secure the hub rmly into the center console.

OLAS T2
OLAS T2 SPECIFICATION
OLAS T2 SETUP GUIDE
The OLAS T2 is a rechargeable tag which is tracked by the OLAS N2K. It transmits a Bluetooth Low Energy
signal which is received by the OLAS N2K. When the OLAS N2K loses the OLAS T2 signal the alarm is
activated. Signal will be lost when the OLAS T2 goes out of range of the OLAS N2K due to distance or
submersion in water. The OLAS T2 does not transmit GPS location.
Runtime: 7 Days.
Charge Time: 2 Hours.
Input supply: 5V - 0.5A.
Switching ON the OLAS T2 - Press the button two times:
• The OLAS T2 will vibrate twice and the LED illuminates blue for 3 seconds.
Check OLAS T2 Status – Press the button once:
• No LED light or vibration means that the OLAS T2 is OFF.
• A blue LED for 2 seconds and 2 vibrations means the OLAS T2 is transmitting, and the battery is
between 50-100%.
• A red LED for 2 seconds and 1 vibration means the OLAS T2 is transmitting, and the battery is below
50%.
Automatic Low Battery Alert when below 20%.
• The OLAS T2 will vibrate for 1 second every 60 seconds.
• The LED will ash three times every 15 seconds.
It is strongly advised to charge your OLAS T2 at the next available opportunity when below 50% battery
level. When the OLAS T2 is below 20% there is a risk of false alert and immediate charging is required.
Switching OFF the OLAS T2 – Press the button three times:
The OLAS T2 will vibrate three times and the LED illuminate red for 3 seconds.

OLAS N2K QUICK START GUIDE
Charging the OLAS T2
During charging the OLAS T2 will switch off and stop transmitting. The LED will illuminate green to indicate
a good charge connection. When the green light is turned OFF the OLAS T2 is no longer charging either
because it is fully charged or there is no power to the charge cable.
The charge cable can use any 5V USB port with an output supply of 5V – 0.5A.
1. Check the OLAS T2 is switched OFF.
2. Ensure the OLAS N2K is connected to the control switch and the NMEA 2000 network.
3. Switch the vessel’s batteries ON, powering the NMEA 2000 network.
4. The OLAS N2K will beep once to indicate switching ON.
5. If there are no OLAS transmitters in range the OLAS N2K hub will beep every minute and the control
switch will ash red/green.
Note: if the control switch illuminates green and the OLAS N2K hub beeps once it means the OLAS
T2 tag is still switched ON and has been automatically tracked, skip to point 8.
6. Switch OLAS T2 ON by pressing its button twice. Hold the OLAS T2 close to the OLAS N2K. The
OLAS N2K will beep twice and the control switch will ash red twice to indicate the tag has been
tracked. If you do not hear the double beep move the OLAS T2 closer to the OLAS N2K.
7. After the double beep on the OLAS N2K the control switch will illuminate green. The system is now
operational and the OLAS T2 is being tracked.

OLAS TRANSMITTER OPERATING STATES
There are 3 operating states which can be applied to the OLAS T2 (and any other tracked OLAS Transmitters)
using the OLAS mobile app. The operating state will be stored on the OLAS N2K until it is changed using the
OLAS mobile application.
1. Cut-off and Alert (DEFAULT)
When an OLAS transmitter goes out of range, within 2 seconds the OLAS N2K will cut-off the engine
(if connected), sound its internal alert and trigger the MOB alert on the OLAS app and NMEA 2000
network. After 5 seconds the engine can be restarted by anyone remaining on the vessel.
2. Alert only
When an OLAS transmitter goes out of range, within 2 seconds the OLAS N2K will sound its internal
alert and trigger the MOB alert on the OLAS mobile app and NMEA 2000 network. The engine
will NOT cut-off and a rescue can be performed immediately. This mode should only be used for
passengers.
3. Paused
Pause state should be used when the user knows an OLAS transmitter will go out of range and they
do not want the OLAS N2K to react i.e. leaving the boat for an extended period or swimming. If using
an OLAS T2 it can be switched OFF. This will remove it from the home screen without activating the
alarm.

• When an OLAS transmitter goes out of range an alert will sound on the OLAS N2K hub and any
connected MOB alert devices.
• The OLAS N2K control switch will go red and if connected to the vessel’s stop system the stop
switch will be activated for 7 seconds. This is normally sufcient time for the engine to stop.
• After 7 seconds the stop switch is deactivated, and the engine can be started again allowing a
rescue to be performed.
• Press the control switch once to acknowledge the alarm and the OLAS N2K hub will revert to Paused
state. Tracking is now paused until the OLAS transmitter is recovered.
• Once the OLAS transmitter is back on the vessel and within 1 metre of the OLAS N2K tracking will
automatically start again.
• Alternatively, to manually activate tracking again press the control switch once and tracking will start
again, if the OLAS transmitter is within 1 metre of the OLAS N2K hub.
NOTE: Pause will remain active if the OLAS transmitter that was lost is not back within 1 metre of the OLAS
N2K hub.
The OLAS N2K can continue to be used as an MOB alarm system when an OLAS transmitter is not being
used.
Whilst the OLAS N2K is connected to a NMEA 2000 network if any other devices on the same network
transmit an MOB alert message, the OLAS N2K will react. The OLAS N2K hub will alert, the OLAS mobile
app will alert and the OLAS CONNECT devices (if attached) will alert.
• If no OLAS transmitters are in range the OLAS N2K will beep multiple times every minute and the
control switch will ash red and green.
• To silence the beeping press the control switch for 2 seconds.
• The control switch will continue to ash red and green. The OLAS N2K is still operating and looking
for OLAS transmitters.
• If an OLAS transmitter is moved into range the OLAS N2K will double beep and start normal tracking.
• If a MOB alert is triggered on the NMEA 2000 network or via the OLAS CONNECT all OLAS N2K
MOB alerts will be activated.
a. Detection Time (seconds) - adjusting the detection time allows a period of time where an OLAS
transmitter can reconnect silently, preventing any alert from occurring. This may be preferable on
larger vessels with multiple cabins where there is an increased chance of signal being blocked.
b. Alert Delay (seconds) – adjusting the alert delay time changes the amount of time the operator has
before the MOB alert and relay is activated. This may be preferable on larger vessels where there
is increased chance of signal being blocked. During the ‘Alert Delay’ period an alert will sound to
indicate signal has been lost. During this period if the control switch is pressed it manually overrides
the cut-off for 30 seconds allowing the OLAS transmitter to be brought back into range.
i. Select the menu tab in the top left-hand corner of the home screen (3 lines).
ii. Select ‘Alert Settings’.
iii. Use the slider to select the ‘Detection Time’ or ‘Alert Delay’ period.

You must use your country code prex e.g. UK(+44) US(+1).
v. Select your ‘Message Delay’ period, this is the amount of time before the MOB alert SMS
is sent. A longer period allows more time for self-rescue. A minimum of 1 minute is advised.
vi. If a MOB alert message has been sent and the alarm is then manually cancelled an alert
cancellation message will be sent.
d. Overboard recovery aids – The GPS location was stored on the OLAS mobile app when the MOB
alert occurred.
i. Once the vessel is 20 metres away from the MOB alert location an arrow directs back.
ii. The second screen shows easy to read GPS coordinates for the alert location and the
vessel’s current location. This information is requested by the emergency services if a
Mayday call is made.
iii. On the third screen selecting the phone icon directs the user to call their previously input

OLAS CONNECT INTEGRATION
1. OLAS N2K NMEA 2000 MOB alert.
i. MOB pgn - the Man Overboard (PGN 127233) is issued into the NMEA 2000 network. Any
connected MOB device programmed to react to the MOB pgn will be triggered.
ii. AIS Safety Broadcast (PGN 129802) – this alert emulates the message that would be
received from an EPIRB or SART devices with AIS VHF support. The message is internal
only and will not be transmitted off the vessel. The message includes the GPS location of
the vessel at the time when the alert was triggered. The chart plotter can then set the MOB
mark.
2. MFD MOB alert issued– some navigation hardware devices will issue their own MOB alert onto the
NMEA 2000 network. The OLAS N2K will be monitoring for this alert and if it is detected the MOB
alerts from the OLAS N2K will be triggered.
NOTE: On some multi function displays a second MOB alert may not be issued via the OLAS N2K if the
plotter is tracking to an MOB waypoint.
• The OLAS CONNECT is an accessory for the OLAS N2K. It enables 3 additional MOB alert features.
These features are,
1. Manual MOB button connection
2. MOB alert light connection
3. MOB audio alert connection
