1 Introduction
This User’s Manual is about the daily use of the SuperSail Performance System. The
system consist of GPS Trackers used for alarm systems and for data collection. Data are
stored on a central hosted server and a mobile application (App) for accessing the trackers.
The SuperSail mobile App is available for iOS (AppStore) and for Android (Google Play).
The trackers are available in 2 hardware configurations:
SuperSail Marine Alarm is developed for fixed mounting in dry environment inside a
larger boat. The Marine Alarm must be connected to external power supply and the
antenne must be placed where the best signal is achieved. Alarm sensors can be
connected wired or wireless. A small internal battery ensures that the alarm
continues operation if external power is interrupted.
SuperSail Regatta Tracker is enclosed in a waterproof cabinet with a large internal
battery and internal antennas. Connection of external sensors are not possible. The
Regatta Tracker is developed for use as a mobile unit which is float if dropped into
the water.
The system is operated via your Smartphone and regatta data can be analyzed and
presented on a PC or tablet.
Regatta data is made available for external standard programs or to special developed
performance programs via standard file formats.
An extra feature is the possibility of sourcing live data to a presentation tool, which can
create a live presentation of a regatta.

5 Surveillance Menu
From the main menu it’s possible to activate surveillance of yourself during your sailing, by
pushing the button “Surveillance”.
This function is primary intended for dinghy sailors with a SuperSail Regatta Tracker, who are
sailing/training alone. Via the button on the Regatta Tracker Surveillance, the tracker can
send an SMS to up to 4 mobile numbers by a single press on the push button. Furthermore
automatically surveillance can be activated as described below.
Pushing the “Back” button returns to the main menu without changing settings.
The surveillance function is turned on/off independent of Regattas, which enables you to use
the function without being registered for a Regatta.
Surveillance is an extra safety for you during your sailing, where you have the possibility to
send messages to up to 4 predefined mobile numbers, or you can leave it to the tracker to
monitor if something unexpected occurs during your sailing and let it automatically send a
message to your predefined mobile numbers.
Surveillance contains the following functions:
- Call Button on the tracker, for manual sending messages to
your predefined mobile numbers. The Call Button is not
available on all tracker types.
- Automatic monitoring if the tracker has not been moving
outside a specified radius for a specified time. If this occurs an
automatic message is sent to your predefined mobile numbers.
- Automatic monitoring if the tracker has moved outside a given
distance from the starting point. If this occurs an automatic
message is sent to your predefined mobile numbers.
The Call Button is always active, if present on the tracker, when
the surveillance function is active, but the automatic monitoring
functions can be activated individually.
Radius/time function is activated by marking the check box.
Max Distance function is activated by marking the check box.
Deactivating the functions are done by removing the mark in the check box.
Up to 4 predefined mobile numbers can be specified, who will receive the same message.
Mobile numbers must always contain the country code (e.g. +45 for Denmark).
Data are automatically saved when keyed in.
The below button indicates status of the Surveillance function. If the button is red with the text
“Off”, surveillance is not active. Pushing the button change the color to green containing the
text “On” –surveillance is activated.

SMS containing the information that they are now monitoring you. If your tracker contains a
Call Button the light around the button will turn on as long as the Surveillance function is
turned on.
When a message is sent manual or automatic the lamp around the Call Button starts blinking
to indicate that a message is sent to your predefined mobile numbers.
When your message receivers has received the SMS message, they can return an empty
SMS to the sender. When this message is received by the tracker, the lamp around the Call
Button stops blinking, indicating to you that you message has been read by one of the
message receivers.

Inputs that can be activated individually
Monitoring of maximum movement –e.g. theft or anchor
guard
Monitoring of 12V
Monitoring of maximum speed
Monitoring of maximum distance
Chock Sensor which monitor e.g. grounding, hitting the
jetty while moored or collision
Wireless Sensors which can be activated individually
6.2 Outputs
SuperSail Marine Alarm Wireless has 2 configurable outputs, where e.g. switches to activate
external units can be connected. The units can be activated independent and individually. In
the text field you can write a text that identifies the unit connected.
If the “Activate on Alarm” check box is marked for Output #1, this indicates to the alarm
system that e.g. a siren is connected to Output #1. The alarm system will automatically
activate Output #1 if a theft alarm is activated. The Output #1 remains activated as long as a
theft alarm is active and 5 minutes after the last theft alarm is activated.
Turning off the alarm also turns off the Output #1.

6.3 Inputs
SuperSail Marine Alarm Wireless has 2 configurable inputs, where SuperSail Marine Alarm
has only 1. To the inputs external sensors like e.g. a smoke alarm or float switch can be
connected, or a wire to an outboard engine can be connected for monitoring this. In the text
field you can write a text that identifies the connected units. Same text is included in the SMS
alarm text.
6.4 Maximum Movement
Maximum Movement Alarm with configurable alarm distance. The function can be used as a
theft monitoring or as an anchor guard.
The figure shows the principal in the maximum
movement alarm, where the boat are in the center
of a circle indicating the maximum movement
before the alarm is activated.
A GPS which is steady will register some
movement in all directions, caused by reflected
signals from the satellites. Reflections occur when
the signal from the satellite hits something in the
way to the tracker.
Even that the GPS in the tracker is very precise,
reflected signals will be received from time to time,
which gives the tracker a wrong position for the
boat.
To prevent wrong positions from activating a false
alarm, it is recommended to set the Maximum
Movement distance to minimum 25 meters. Our experience is that this value prevents most
false alarms in most harbors. If the boat is placed near buildings or other constructions
creating reflections, it might be necessary to set a higher value for the Maximum Movement
alarm.
It is recommended to test the value for some days to ensure that no false alarm are sent due
to reflections form the surrounding environment.
6.5 12V
Monitors if external 12V supply is interrupted or drops below 10,5V.
6.6 Maximum Distance
Same function as described for Maximum Movement paragraph 6.4.
Typically used by charter boat companies or if your boat is being used by others than
yourself. You can receive an alarm if the boat comes too far from the starting point.
6.7 Maximum Speed
Maximum speed with a configurable maximum speed in the unit of knots.
Typically used by charter boat companies or if your boat is being used by others than
yourself. If the speed indicates that the boat are transported over land, you will be noticed by
an alarm.
