Bosun™
The Bosun™ performs a variety of tasks including: access and alarm logging, multilevel alarming, data logging, web enabling, notifying, and group paging. The Bosun™'s web enabled menu system allows a user to, through a web browser, check the yacht status from as close as the main salon or an overseas vacation spot.

INPUTS
The Bosun™ accepts up to 104 inputs in a single enclosure. The base Bosun™ accepts 8 universal inputs (digital dry contact or analog 4-20mA), and will also accommodate SNMP, BACNet/IP and Modbus protocols. Internal expansion cards offer additional dry contact, 4-20mA, 0-5VDC and/or 0-10VDC signal integration. This allows a wide variety of sensors, transducers, and dry contact signals from equipment and devices to be monitored. Two alarm levels for high and two alarm levels for low can be configured for all analog inputs.
No special wiring/connectors or tools are required to integrate sensors or equipment status signals. Connections are made with standard 18-22 AWG wire to the Bosun™'s pluggable, heavy-duty, screw-down terminal blocks, which are all located on the back to facilitate clean and quick wire routing.
OUTPUTS
Up to 34 relay outputs can control locks, devices, and equipment. Relays activate upon alarm, via the Bosun™ web page, or over the telephone (DTMF). Relay activation scheduling capabilities allow backup equipment to be cycled on a regular basis
ALARM NOTIFICATIONS
When any analog input exceeds the user-defined limits or when a digital input changes status, the Bosun™ can be configured to send alarm notification via text, numeric or alphanumeric pagers, e-mail and/or SNMP traps. Alarm notification is escalatory - if one person does not acknowledge a page within an acceptable timeframe, an additional pager number will be notified.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
Slip Minder™ system for multiple yacht monitoring, a network operations center (NOC) can be configured as a central interface point for the system. Network Management System (NMS) software installed at the NOC, which communicates with the Bosun™ via SNMP, allows all sites to be monitored from one terminal screen. All equipment status, control, and alarms from all sites can be managed from this one central location. The Bosun™ also offers BACNet/IP, which provides similar capabilities for integration with Building Management Systems (BMS). Both SNMP and BACNet/IP can be used simultaneously to ensure that those responsible for both NMS and BMS operations have the same information and are notified redundantly (or selectively based on the nature of the alarm) whenever a problem arises.
