Guardian Pro Firmware

Purpose:
Avoid interference from other tags nearby — whether on other vessels or worn by crew not currently operating the vessel.

Action:
The first tag that connects to the system is automatically set as the active engine cut-off tag. All other tags in range are ignored.

Setup Time: Automatic

Purpose:
Prevent unintended tag connections in environments where multiple vessels and tags are in use.

Action:
Use the Guardian Pro App during setup to manually define the connection range between the tag and hub. For small vessels, limit the range to ~0.5m (e.g., only at the helm); for larger vessels, extend it to 1–2m as needed.

Setup Time: 1 minute

Purpose:
Provides flexibility for different vessel sizes and operating environments. High sensitivity is ideal for smaller vessels where tighter proximity to the helm is expected; low sensitivity allows more freedom of movement on larger vessels without triggering an engine cut-off.

Action:
Set the sensitivity level (Low to High) using the Guardian Pro App to define how far the tag can move from the helm before disconnection is triggered.

Setup Time: 30 seconds

Purpose:
Gives users control over how quickly the engine stops after a tag disconnects — especially useful on larger vessels where brief disconnections may occur. The audible pre-warning alerts the operator that an engine cut-off is imminent, giving time to respond.

Action:
Using the Guardian Pro App, set a delay window of 2–10 seconds between tag disconnection and engine cut-off. Within this period, reconnecting the tag or pressing the override button will prevent the engine from stopping.

Setup Time: 30 seconds

Purpose:
Minimise user error by providing an immediate visual reference of system status, ensuring users are always aware if the system is in standby or tracking mode.

Action:
Check the LED indicator: Red means standby, Green means active tracking.

Setup Time: Automatic

Purpose:
Deliver assertive confirmation when a tag connects or disconnects, providing audible and tactile reassurance without needing to check a screen or LED.

Action:
When a tag moves into range, the system emits a clear tone to confirm connection and transition from standby to tracking.

Setup Time: Automatic

Purpose:
Enable fast reassignment of control — useful for crew changeovers, switching operators, or when transferring tags between vessels.

Action:
A single button press reassigns the engine stop function to the tag closest to the hub.

Setup Time: Instant

Purpose:
In an overboard emergency, the system automatically resets to standby so that remaining crew can resume control and carry out a rescue without requiring a new tag or technical knowledge.

Action:
System resets to standby. If another tag is onboard, it will automatically connect and take over engine stop control — no input needed.

Setup Time: Automatic

Purpose:
Ensure vessel usability even when the system isn’t actively being used — whether a tag is unavailable or the system isn’t required for a particular operation.

Action:
System remains in standby until a valid tag enters range. Normal vessel operation continues unaffected in the meantime.

Setup Time: Automatic
