INITIAL POWERING ON OF THE DEVICE
MyAlarm2 is supplied in “shipping mode”. This mode prevents any unnecessary discharge of the battery during
transport as well as any accidental switch-ons.
To exit this mode, simply power the device via the cable supplied.
N.B.: During “shipping mode” the power button is disabled.
ON/OFF BUTTON AND SCROLL DISPLAY BUTTON
MyBoat is equipped with a PWR button located on the top left side (front panel
view). Pressing this button turns the module on and off. To switch it off, hold the
PWR key down for a few seconds.
MyBoat is also equipped with a SCR button, located on the top right side (front
panel view). Pressing this key displays the parameters.
MICRO USB PORT AND POWER SUPPLY
The device has a micro USB connector on the left side of its enclosure, which can
be used for conguration, rmware updates and to recharge the internal battery.
To recharge the internal battery, use:
- the 12 V power supply (supplied) by connecting the cables to the + and -
terminals (GND).
- a PC via the micro USB port with a standard cable.
Power supply through the USB jack is not suitable for xed installations, or
congurations where relays and/or digital inputs are used.

ASSEMBLY REGULATIONS
The device has been designed for vertical installation or on a DIN IEC EN 60715 omega rail. Avoid mounting the
device inside metal cabinets or on top of heat-generating equipment.
INSTALLATION ON DIN IEC EN 60715 RAIL AND WALL FIXING
As shown in the gure on the side:
1. Insert the hooks of the support for DIN IEC EN 60715 rail into
the corresponding slots on the back of the container.
2. Hook the support to the DIN IEC EN 60715 rail.
Alternatively:
1. Through the two holes on the support for DIN IEC EN 60715
rail it is possible to x it to the wall with the two anchors
supplied.
2. MyAlarm2 can be xed to the support by inserting the hooks
of the support into the slots on the back.
ASSEMBLY RULES FOR VERSION WITH GPS (OPTIONAL)
For optimal reception of the GPS signal given by the satellites, MyAlarm2 should be positioned in an area not
covered by metal structures. If this is not possible or if the satellite reception is no good, an optional external
antenna with 3m cable (code A-GPS) is available. Follow the procedure supplied with the package for the
installation of the external antenna.
SAFETY INFORMATION
MyAlarm2 has a terminal block inside its enclosure.
To access the internal terminal block of the device,
unscrew the screw at the centre of the black cover
positioned at the bottom of the enclosure and lift up.
In the side gure, the cover has been removed.
IMPORTANT: With the relay card, mobile wiring of
cables connected to terminals is not permitted. To make
the cables from the terminals safe, use the break-out
passages in the back of the enclosure. When the wiring
is complete, fasten the protective cover on the device
with the screw to prevent any accidental contact.
