Inside the AUTOTETHER™ sensor is a
transmitter that sends radio waves to a receiver connected to your
boat’s ignition system. Should the operator or a passenger wearing the AUTOTETHER™ sensor fall overboard, the signal between
the sensor and the receiver is broken (radio waves do not travel through
water).
If the operator goes overboard the engine shuts off and an alarm
sounds. This prevents a runaway boat and allows the operator to reboard
the vessel.
If a passenger goes overboard, the alarm will sound alerting the
operator to return and pick up the passenger.
The radio transmitter also works on distance; the sensors can
transmit to the receiver up to a distance of 150 feet. Place a passenger
sensor into a dinghy being towed, if it breaks loose the alarm will
sound.
For added safety, should the operator or a passenger notice a
potential danger, just push the red alert button located on the sensor
to sound an alarm and stop the boat.
AUTOTETHER™ can be moved from your
boat and taken to the beach! Use it there to notify you when your
child (wearing theAUTOTETHER™ sensor) goes into the water or strays too far from the AUTOTETHER™ receiver you carry.
AUTOTETHER™ installation is simple!
AUTOTETHER™ “clips” right to your ignition kill switch.
The clip is connected via a short, coiled wire to a receiver that is
mounted using 3M dual lock strips allowing you to take the unit on and
off the boat.
Attach the wireless personal sensor to your lifevest or pocket.
No wiring or tools needed.
The system is “self-powered” via inexpensive AAA batteries
(supplied) that provide over 100 hours of service.
An indicator light on the receiver “lights” when it’s time to change
the batteries
Works with all kill switches
That simple. That easy. That safe!
THE "SCREAMER" WIRELESS ALARM SYSTEM works using the same technology
but instead of shutting down the engine it insteads triggers the 105 db
pulsating alarm to sound. This system does not need a kill switch
to work therefore making it portable and versatile for many different
applications.
