Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm Systems

Navitron NT990BNWAS

Approved for compliance with IMO Resolution MSC.128(75) the Navitron NT990BNWAS is available as a basic system to operate proprietary alarm units etc. or, as an expanded system complete with selector units and individual cabin and /or crew call sounders. The resultant alarm system provides a regulation safety monitor requiring regular acknowledgement (Reset) by the duty watch personnel at time intervals between 3 and 12 minutes.

Once activated, completion of the specified timeout period (3 – 12 mins) will automatically generate a Bridge visual alarm (15 secs) followed by a Bridge audible alarm (15 secs) which is tone and volume adjustable during installation. Alarm cancellation and commencement of a new timing period will occur whenever the BNWAS ‘Reset’ button is operated on the main unit or other Wheelhouse/ Bridge located Reset units.

Failure to ‘Reset’ the system during the 30 second Bridge visual/ audible alarm period will result in automatic ‘Officer Call’ alarm activation which, if not acknowledged within a maximum period of 3 minutes will automatically be followed by the generation of ‘Crew Call’ alarms. In the event of a sudden crisis situation requiring immediate Officer assistance, the NT990BNWAS also features an ‘Emergency Call’ facility which may be operated at any stage of the timing cycles. Further built in security and error management provisions include ‘Tamper’ and ‘Power Fail’ alarm indications fully commensurate with MSC.128(75). The NT990BNWAS is available in basic and expanded system forms to suit vessels of all types and tonnages and can be operated from 115 / 230VAC (DB2) and 24Vdc (DB 1) ships main power supplies as required.
