IridiTRAK Installation & User Manual
Cable Installation
The cable for the alert buttons should be installed by a certified marine installer using
only the BEAM certified cable, or cable that is within the above specification.
The BEAM RST996 Alarm cabling is recommended.
To avoid false alarms or inadvertent activation the cable should also be protected
where possible, be sure not to secure the cable to fixtures too tightly that may cause
damage to the cabling.
Assembly of the Alarm Buttons
BEAM recommends the use of the BEAM RST995 Alert buttons for the installation of
the Alarm system.
The BEAM Alert Buttons have been specifically selected
and tested for Alarm activation deployment. It is desirable to
use the specified button. However if alternate buttons
are used in an installation, be sure to consider the
following:
Are the buttons working in normally-closed operation?
Is the button momentary in operation?
Is the button guarded?
Is the button suitable and rated for use in maritime environments?
Connecting the cables to the button
Dismantle the alarm button by removing the large screws on
the top of the alarm button. It is probably easiest to do this
at the location at which the alert button is to be mounted.
Drill a hole into the base mount of the alarm button in order
to pass the cable through to the terminals for connection.
Now is also a good time to secure the base of the alarm
button into the mounting position.
The base can be secured by drilling screws through the
plastic into the location, or alternatively can be secured
using adhesive.
Ensure that some appropriate sealant is used where the
holes have been made in the casing to avoid liquid ingress.
Using the specified cable connect the wires into the input of
the switch as indicated below. Be sure the connection is
firmly and securely made, tightening the screw at the base
of the connector.
The alarm button should now be secured into place.
