The ACR OLAS Extender is a must - have for the CORE & GUARDIAN systems. Model 2986, it extends the range of the ACR OLAS MOB System for vessels up to 80 ft. It's waterproof (IP67) and uses the latest Bluetooth® Technology. You have the option of a rechargeable battery, but it requires an OLAS GUARDIAN or OLAS CORE. This extender effectively boosts the 'virtual tether' between OLAS transmitters and receivers. When a transmitter goes missing, within 2 - 4 seconds, all synced receivers (except the Extender) will sound a loud alarm, alerting the crew. The ACR OLAS Mobile App records the incident's GPS location and helps with MOB recovery. The Extender can also cover areas where transmitter signals might be blocked, expanding the OLAS MOB System's applications. It's perfect for larger vessels, expanding potential usage scenarios for both recreational and commercial boats. Specifications include dimensions of 3.6' (H) x 3.5' (L) x 1.5' (W)/92 (H) x 90 (L) x 38 (W) mm, 5V / 13 - 17mA power, tracking up to 15 transmitters via the OLAS GUARDIAN or CORE, a free IOS and Android app, a range for vessels up to 80 feet, non - buoyant design, IP67 waterproof rating, ABS housing material, and Bluetooth® 4.2 + 5.0. The box includes the OLAS Extender and a USB charging cable.
Using the ACR OLAS Extender is easy. First, make sure you have an OLAS GUARDIAN or OLAS CORE system. Connect the Extender to it according to the instructions. You can then place the Extender in a suitable location on your vessel up to 80 ft long. When using the system, remember that the Extender doesn't sound the alarm during an MOB incident; it's just for extending the range. For maintenance, keep it dry as it's waterproof but still avoid excessive moisture. You can charge it using the included USB cable when the battery runs low. Also, regularly check the Bluetooth connection to ensure it's working properly. If you have any issues, refer to the ACR OLAS Mobile App for troubleshooting or contact customer support.
