Every year, injuries, deaths and insurance loses can be attributed to boats sinking. Studies show that 80% of
boats sink at the dock while the other 20% sink in open water. Installing a bilge alarm is an important safety
measure. The ABYC has required a Bilge Alarm be installed on all new boats with an enclosed
accommodation compartment since July 1, 2006.
The
SA-1000 High Bilge Water Alarm is exclusively designed and tested for use in the
harsh marine environment. The unit is an early warning alarm that monitors for high bilge water.
r
~
. Some reasons your alarm may not have power include an open circuit breaker,
a blown or missing fuse, a broken wire or improper wire crimp connection.
q
~
~
The alarm’s loudness is designed to meet or exceed regulatory standards; however,
the alarm may not be heard if units are remotely located. Individuals who are hard-of-hearing, have consumed
alcoholic beverages, have taken prescription, non-prescription or illegal drugs may not hear the alarm. If your boat has
many sleeping areas, consider installing additional alarms in each area. Neighboring boaters or Marina personal may
not hear the alarm.
q
~
~
~
~
~
The float sensor cannot monitor a
compartment that is separated by a bulkhead. High water may be present in other areas of the boat. MTI recommends
that additional High water alarms be installed in areas where water may accumulate.
r
~
¡
¢
r
Always fully insure your
boat and make sure it covers sinking and other water damage coverage.

!
!
!
•DO NOT mount the control panel under a cowling, or glass or plastic panel where it may not be seen or heard.
•DO NOT locate the float switch within 12 inches of any heat or exhaust source. High heat may damage the float
sensor.

1. Press the control panel’s Test/Mute Pad. The ALARM (RED light should light. Press the TEST pad to check the
operation of the alarm sounder and alarm light. This also temporarily silences the alarm. In about five minutes the ON
(GREEN) light will light and the ALARM (RED) light will turn off. The unit is now operational and is monitoring for
high bilge water conditions.
2. When the sensor detects bilge water above the alarm threshold levels, the alarm will sound and the RED alarm light
will activate. The alarm will continue until the water level returns to safe levels. See
