Digital Yacht CO Alert Carbon Monoxide Alarm with NMEA 2000 Integration

CO Alert Carbon Monoxide Alarm with NMEA 2000

The lethal nature of CO means every boat should be protected with a local alarm. Of course, a typical household alarm could be installed but these have limitations for onboard use. They utilize an internal battery which will often expire when left for long periods its all too easy to forget to replace with seasonal use on a boat. Whats more, just a local alarm in a cabin with a crew member sleeping and the vessel underway with the noise of an engine is unlikely to be effective. CO Alert from Digital Yacht is built for demanding, maritime environments plus has NMEA 2000 integration so alerts will pop up on the boats compatible MFD.

CO Alert creates a standard NMEA 2000 alert PGN which allows pop-up alarms on compatible MFDs. (At present, this functionality is best implemented by Garmin).

The system can also be expanded further with our NavAlert general-purpose alert and monitoring device and our 4GX/5GX internet access systems. With this combination, SMS messages can be generated for a CO Alert and sent to a remote phone.

Features:

• DC-powered and UL-listed detector


• Connects to NMEA 2000 bus


• Ultra-low power consumption (<25mA)


• Local loud alarm


• Test function continuous checking for system fault


• NMEA 2000 alerts for activation and fault


• Multi cabin compatible with multiple detectors (NMEA 2000 instance field programmable)

The Digital Yacht CO Alert Carbon Monoxide Alarm is designed specifically for the demanding environment of marine vessels, providing reliable protection against the dangers of carbon monoxide. Unlike typical household alarms, this system features a robust design suitable for marine use, with a DC-powered, UL-listed detector that ensures safety in critical situations. Its low power consumption of less than 25mA makes it efficient while maintaining constant vigilance. The alarm includes a loud local siren to alert crew members immediately and a test function that continuously checks for system faults, ensuring the device is always operational.
Integration with NMEA 2000 allows the CO Alert to send standard alert messages (PGN) that can trigger pop-up alarms on compatible Multi-Function Displays (MFDs), with current optimal implementation on Garmin systems. This seamless integration ensures that alerts are visible even during noisy engine operations or when crew members are asleep, significantly enhancing onboard safety. The system supports multiple detectors within a vessel and can be configured for multi-cabin setups, thanks to its instance field programmable feature, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
Further expandability is possible with Digital Yacht’s NavAlert monitoring device and internet access systems like 4GX/5GX, enabling remote notifications via SMS when a CO alarm is triggered. This capability allows vessel operators to receive alerts even when away from the boat, providing peace of mind and an additional layer of safety. Overall, the CO Alert from Digital Yacht offers a reliable, integrated solution for carbon monoxide detection and alert management tailored for marine environments, ensuring safety and compliance with maritime safety standards.
