BNWAS Bridge Navigation Watch Alarm System |
|
 |
Fully
type approved and designed to be unobtrusive,
yet easy to use, this smart touch screen
system integrates with existing bridge
alarms and is fully type approved to
the latest IMO standards.
Outputs from BNWAS include a third stage
active watch alarm for the general ship
alarm and a fourth stage to activate
the Ship Security Alert System (SSAS).
Under the IMO specification two options
are offered, either push button or motion
sensor activation.
With the first option, the system requires
the Officer on Watch to physically interact
with the system at regular intervals.
The second option using the BNWAS motion
sensor, removes the need for the Officer
to physically interact to stop the alarm;
the sensor detects movement from the
Watch Officer which, simply resets the
timer. |
