OOW's duties. This purpose is achieved by a series of indications and alarms to alert first the OOW and, if he is not responding, then to alert the Master or another qualified OOW. Additionally, BW508 also provide the OOW or other equipment with a means of emergency calling for immediate assistance.
Setting Select dormant period (Td) In case that authorized person (Master) demands to select other dormant period, person has to turn key switch S1 on BW508MAIN to position “SET”. In this position only dormant period can be chosen by using rotary encoder S2.
Now turn rotary encoder S2 to choose an adequate buzzer characteristic. By pushing rotary encoder S2 display is changing and system accepts adjusted value. Adjust buzzer’s volume of 1 Stage Alarm Stage Alarm internal buzzer’s sound volume (1~15) can be adjusted. To adjust internal buzzer’s volume turn key switch S1 on BW508MAIN to position “SET”.
for back-up officer and/or Master to reach bridge area before watch alarm system is triggering 3 Stage Alarm . To adjust a.m. time period turn key switch S1 on BW508MAIN to position “SET”. Display is showing as follow Now push rotary encoder S2 on BW508MAIN repeatedly till the display is showing as follow Now turn rotary encoder in clockwise direction to increase time period value or in counter- clock wise direction to decrease time period value.
Operational mode Automatic System can be switched on by external systems (ship's heading or track control system) By turning key switch S1 left once. System is in AUTO mode. Auto indicator is on. Display is showing as follow. When ship's heading or track control system is activated, system’s running is triggered.
Operation Dormant Turn the key to choose the operational mode. After system running is trigged. Dormant (main) period count-down is active as shown on display as follow. Visual indications If dormant period (Td) is over without OOW’s reset, system activates all illuminated reset units by 1Hz flash light.
Stage Alarm If dormant (main) period, visual indications (15 sec) and 1 Stage Alarm (15 sec) are over without OOW’s reset, system additionally activates Stage Alarm. Display is showing in 1 Hz toggle mode display as follow Stage Alarm If dormant (main) period, visual indications (15 sec), 1 stage Alarm (15 sec) and 2 stage Alarm (90 sec) are over without OOW’s reset, system...
Reset OOW resets system by pushing reset button of BW508R or BW508RA1, and also can push rotary encoder on BW508MAIN. Every reset is re-starting complete count-down. External reset devices input switching value input to reset alarm. We offer motion detectors BW508PIR.It’s operating instruction refers to the interleaf.
immediately actuate the “Emergency Call” system. Display is showing as follow System output Status output (bit rate 4800bps) Any change of system settings for mode or changing dormant period, and with any activated and reset alarm can be sent to (VDR) by using the switching value or ALR sentence.
Test BW508 owns a test mode procedure to check all output relevant devices (alarm panels, external buzzers, links to alarm devices, and system failure contact) in a very comfortable manner. To reach this “test mode” an authorized person has to “switch off” system.

After a.m. test in “test mode 2” is done, user has to turn S2 clockwise to reach “test mode 3”. Display is showing as follow Stage Alarm is activated as long as S2 is pushed again. The 3 Stage Alarm indication on BW508CONN is on. Display is showing as follow After a.m.
Malfunctions Main power failure Power failure indicator L1 and buzzer alarm of BW508MAIN auto turns on, then the power will be supplied by storage battery. Meanwhile, the POWER light of BW508MAIN goes off and BW508MAIN outputs power failure relays to external equipments. Press rotary encoder S2 to mute the buzzer but the power failure indicator L1 is still on until failure solved.
