2 Installation
SuperSail Marine Alarm is delivered in a box containing the Alarm unit with associated
antennas, connection box, siren and cables.
The Alarm unit must be connected to 12/24V 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 Location of the Antennas
The Alarm unit is placed indoor in the boat as high above water level as possible, to get the
optimal signal for the GSM antenna to and from the mobile transmitter mast ashore.
The Alarm unit is installed vertical with the GSM antenna pointing upwards.
The GPS antenna is placed horizontal with the black top pointing upwards to be able to
receive the optimal signal from the GPS satellites.
None of the antennas must be placed under metal surface, 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 antennas must be placed with a mutual distance of minimum 20 cm.
The GPS antenna is magnetic and can with advantage be placed on top of a metal plate or be
glued underneath another surface.
If the GPS antenna is not placed correct there will be a risk that it can receive reflected
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 12/24V Connection
The Alarm unit is connected to 12V or 24V power supply on the primary side of the boats
main switch, to ensure that there is always power to the Alarm unit, when the main switch in
the boat is turned off.

Installation Manual
Page 5of 8
This is a precondition for the Alarm unit to function as secure monitoring of the boat.
Note that the siren must be either a 12V version or a 24V version, depending on the external
supply level.
2.4 Wires in the Connection Box
In the below table the use of the different cables from the Alarm unit is shown.
In the Connection Box, the wires are connected with pull relief to ensure that the movements
of the boat over time do not make the wires lose their connection.
A 2,5A fuse is installed between the external power supply and the Alarm unit, to protect both
in case of a short circuit.

2.5 Outboard Engine Alarm
If monitoring of an outboard engine is required a ground wire can be drawn from the engine
through the wire bundle from the engine. If the wire bundle is cut in connection with theft, 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 when detecting +12/24V at the input, a 1KOhm
pull-up resistor should be installed between the input and +12/24V. The ground wire from the
outboard engine connects to the input of the alarm and pulls down the input level to 0V. As
long as the ground wire from the outboard engine is intact, 0V will be registered on the input
to the alarm, but if ground wire is removed the pull-up resistor will cause +12/24V to be
detected at the input and thus an alarm is activated.
Correct connection of the 1KOhm pull-up resistor is shown in the Installation Manual for the
Connection box, found here: www.super-sail.dk/app-support.
