Small Wireless Engine Kill Switch

The ACR OLAS Guardian is a small wireless engine kill switch that acts within two seconds of a person going overboard. With a dual function of acting as an instant Man Overboard (MOB) Alarm system. OLAS GUARDIAN offers powerboat, motorboat, and RIB drivers the security of knowing that the Vessel will stop in an instant if anyone from the crew gets separated from the boat. It will greatly reduce the chances of a serious accident and an uncontrolled vessel.

No need to attach, detach, and reattach a physically wired kill cord with the guardian providing coverage for vessels up to 50 feet and is scalable up to 80 feet with the use of the OLAS EXTENDER. ACR’s OLAS GUARDIAN also wirelessly connects up to 15 crew members via wearable OLAS transmitters (OLAS Tags or OLAS Float-On Lights) it essentially creates a virtual kill cord attached to each transmitter allowing your crew to move freely around the vessel. The Guardian will automatically connect to any switched on OLAS transmitting device within 2 meters range. Within two seconds of an OLAS transmitter losing connection, either by going overboard or via separation by distance, the engine will cut out, and a loud alarm is triggered. The engine can be restarted after 5 seconds, and a rescue can be performed. The Olas Guardian has the ability to connect with the ACR OLAS mobile app which, in the case of a MOB incident, displays an easy-to-read directional screen showing the direction where the alarm was triggered and advises on the correct mayday call. A high power emergency Red light will illuminate the surrounding area also providing visual indication of an alert.

The Guardian can be fitted through an 18mm hole and you can simply splice into an existing power supply from your boat’s battery making for an easy install. You can use your existing kill cord switch alongside the Guardian allowing it to still operate normally if the physical cord has not been attached to the driver. When boarding the vessel an alarm will sound if no transmitters are switched on prompting you to turn on your OLAS transmitter. If you need to step off the boat while the boat is idling, you can activate the simple pause mode. The ACR OLAS Guardian is a great addition to any vessel making your day on the water safer than ever.
