2 Installation
SuperSail Marine Alarm is delivered in a box containing the Alarm unit with associated
antennas and cables.
The Alarm unit must be connected to 12V external power supply and additional different
alarm sensors can be connected.
Keep the packaging in case the Alarm unit has to be sent.
2.1 Placement
The Alarm unit is placed indoor in the boat as high up as possible to get the optimal signal for
the GSM antenna to and from the mobile transmitter mas ashore.
The Alarm unit is mounted vertical with the GSM antenna pointing upwards.
The GPS antenna is placed horizontal with the text upwards to be able to receive the optimal
signal from the GPS satellites.
None of the antennas must be placed right under metal, since this will reduce the signal
strength significantly. Wood, plastic, glass, glass fiber and similar non-conducting materials
does not have any significant influence on the signals.
The GPS antenna is magnetic and can with advantage be placed on top of a metal plate or be
glued underneath another surface. The GPS text on the antenna has to turn upwards towards
the satellites for the best signal.
If the GPS antenna is not placed correct there will be a risk that it can receive reflecting
signals from the satellites from time to time and report a false alarm.
The GPS antenna is mounted with the black side (refer to the picture below) turning upwards
towards the satellites.
2.2 Energy consumption
In energy mode the Alarm unit uses: 0.6 mA
During operation the Alarm unit uses: 75 mA
During charging the Alarm unit uses: 500mA
The energy consumption during charging is limited in the unit and will never exceed the
specified, but can be lower than specified, since the charging circuit is intelligent and fit the
charging as required.
The charging stops automatically if the temperature of the Alarm unit exceeds 50 degrees
Celsius.
2.3 12V Connection
The Alarm unit is connected to 12V power supply on the primary side of the boats main
switch, to ensure that there is always power on the Alarm unit when the boat is shut down and
left.

This is a precondition for the Alarm unit to function as secure and insurance approved
surveillance of the boat.
2.4 Direct connection
In the below table the connection of the different cables connected to the Alarm unit is shown.
The cables should be connected with pull relief to ensure that the movements of the boat over
time do not make the wires lose their connection.

2.4.1 Connection with SuperSail Fuse Box
Since the connection of the alarm system happens on the primary side, the power supply of
the Alarm unit must be secured by a 2,5A(T) fuse.
SuperSail Fuse box contains both fuse and connection for 12V battery.
+12V connects to the terminal marked with 12V and 0V to the terminal marked with GND.
Red cable from the Alarm unit connects to the terminal marked with TRK. Black cable from
the Alarm unit connects to the terminal marked with GND.
2.5 Connecting with SuperSail Connection box

2.6 Outboard motor Alarm
If the surveillance of the outboard motor is required a ground wire can be mounted from the
motor through wire bundle from the motor. If the wire bundle is cut for instance when theft is
happening the alarm will register this and the alarm unit sends an alarm message and will
turn on the siren.
Since the input of the alarm detects alarms by enabling +12V at the input, a 1KOhm pull-up
resistor should be installed between the input and +12V. The ground wire from the outboard
motor connects to the input of the alarm. As long as the ground wire from the outboard motor
is intact 0V will be registered on the input to the alarm, but if ground wire is removed the pull-
up resistor will ensure that +12V is registered at the input and thus an alarm is activated.
If SuperSail Connection box is used the 1KOhm pull-up resistor is supplied within the box and
is connected as shown in the Installation Manual for the Connection box.
2.7 Cable connected Water Sensor
If the boat is equipped with automatic bilge pump the output from the float switch can be
connected to for instance Input1 in the Alarm box. Since the bilge pump uses quite some
power and is supplied through the float switch, a relay or other current limiter should be
installed before connecting to the Alarm box.
As an alternative a separate SuperSail Float switch is connection.

2.12 Maintenance
The Marine Alarm system is maintenance free. Repairs should be carried out at an authorized
service center.
Cleaning can be carried out with a soft cloth wrenched in lukewarm water
Cleaning detergent containing solvent can harm the unit.
