NAVITRON SYSTEMS LTD

NT990 Bridge Navigational

Watch Alarm System (BNWAS)
Type Approved by GL, RMRS & CCS for full compliance with IMO Resolution MSC. 128(75) & IEC 62616 (GL), the
Navitron NT990 BNWAS is available as a basic system to operate proprietary alarm units etc. (if appropriate) or, as an
expanded system complete with selector units, remote resets including movement detectors and individual cabin and / or
crew call audible alarms. The resultant alarm system provides a regulation safety monitor requiring regular
acknowledgement (Reset) by the duty watch personnel at selectable time intervals between 3 and 12 minutes.

Once activated, completion of the specified timeout period (3 - 12 mins) will automatically generate a Bridge visual alarm
(15 secs) followed by a Bridge audible alarm (15 secs) which is tone and volume adjustable during installation.

Alarm cancellation and commencement of a new timing period will occur whenever the BNWAS 'Reset' button is operated
on the main unit or other Wheelhouse/Bridge located Reset units. These can include those available from proprietary
equipment workstations (Radar / ECDIS etc.) and the Central Alarm Panel.

Failure to 'Reset' the system during the 30 second Bridge visual/audible alarm
period will result in automatic 'Officer Call' alarm activation which, if not
acknowledged within a maximum period of 3 minutes, will automatically be
followed by the generation of 'Crew Call' alarms.

In the event of a sudden crisis situation requiring immediate Officer assistance,

the NT990 BNWAS also features an 'Emergency Call' facility which may be
operated at any stage of the timing cycles.

Further built in security and error management provisions include 'Tamper' and
'Power Fail' alarm indications commensurate with MSC. 128(75) & IEC 62616.

The NT990 BNWAS is available in basic and expanded system forms to suit
vessels of all types and tonnages and can be operated from 115 / 230VAC
(DB2) and 24Vdc (DB 1 ) ships main power supplies as required.

The Basic and Expanded NT990 BNWAS configurations are shown overleaf.
