SMS100 Examples – Comprehensive System

Overview

Every year we hear of boats sinking, catching fire, having cold conditions freeze the onboard water supply, or being broken in to. Most of these happen at the dock, while the vessel is unattended. While adding vessel monitoring equipment and door alarms can detect these problems, they do not solve the problem of informing you that there is a problem if you are not on board (or at least close by). Adding a Maretron® SMS100 text module to your vessel gives an inexpensive method of sending text messages to your phone when there is a problem.

This comprehensive monitoring system will monitor important parameters on your vessel and alert you via text message when there is water in your bilge, a fire onboard, doors opened, loss of shore power or battery power, or your boat moves from its moorings. While on board, all these parameters can be displayed on the display and an audible alarm will sound under the alert conditions.

The following table shows the products included within this example system plus a list of the information or data available for display.

Product Description Available Data List
TSM800C Display 8” Touchscreen displays data in this list and and if there is a problem will sound an external alarm and send a text message to the SMS100.
SMS100 Texting module Sends text messages to one or more phone numbers when any monitored data in this list goes outside programmed limits
GPS200 Cabin top GPS Position, speed over ground, course over ground, time, date, magnetic variation and more
WSO100 Wind/weather station Measures wind speed and direction, outdoor air temperature, outdoor humidity, barometric pressure
SIM100 Switch indicator 3 high bilge water indicators, magnetic door switch, smoke/heat detector, CO detector
DCM100 Battery monitor Monitors battery voltage, current, temperature, state of charge and time remaining
ACM100 Shore power monitor Monitors voltage, current, frequency and power
TMP100 Temperature monitor Monitors cabin temperature, engine room temperature, alternator temperature, refrigerator temperature
ALM100 Helm Audible Alarm Sounds a loud alarm when any monitored data in this list goes outside programmed limit
