1 About This Document

1.1 Who Should Read It
This guide is intended for marine ship operators who, it is assumed, have:

A thorough knowledge of commercial marine operations.

Familiarity with simple LCD based HMI and input devices. For example, how to use a membrane
key pad to select menu options using buttons.

1.2 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to describe the Watchman Navgard Bridge Navigation Watch Alarm
System and outline setup and operation procedures.
It can be used as a reference document for system components and is ideal for first time and
experienced users of the system.

1.3 Scope
This document both describes the Watchman Navgard system and outlines operator procedures. It also
covers the installation and commissioning of the system. Maintenance and a trouble shooting guide
along with FAQs are also included.

Page 5 of 46

2 Introduction
Watchman Navgard is designed for maintenance free operation providing fast, accurate information for
the lifetime of the vessel. It is simple to use, straight forward to learn and visually easy to operate. All
components are intrinsically safe, and are fully approved to classification society standards.

Communication Platform - The Watchman Navgard unit provides a tamper proof interface for
communication with its sensors thereby providing a safe and integrated I/O space. The system
parameters and operation can be initialized and controlled via simple LCD based navigation menu. The
menu is password protected and should have restricted access, as dictated by the ships Master.

Port Security Mode - the Watchman Navgard system provides an additional port security mode to detect
the presence of unauthorized personnel on the bridge during docking at PORT. This is done using reliable
motion sensors; presence is sensed by Passive Infra-red detectors used to monitor the bridge space. This
functionality is password protected and configurable entry and exit times can be set by the master.

Tamper Proof reset Devices There is a tamper loop that runs through all the peripherals. Any attempt
to damage/interfere with the cabling /interface will result in a tamper error on the main panel.

Alarms There are 3 stages of alarms that are sequentially activated. Each stage activates alarm
sounders in different locations of the vessel to notify personnel that the bridge is unmanned, and
appropriate action is required.

Page 27 of 46

Warning:

Failure to return an electronic copy of the commissioning checklist to Solarglide will mean that
warranty is not validated, and technical support is not activated.

6.3 Maintenance guide:

1. The Watchman Navgard system requires periodic (bi-annually) replacement of the battery and
confirmation that all sensors are active, and conduct a full system integrity check.
2. Any damaged/inactive peripherals MUST be replaced by a suitable spare part by an approved
engineer.
3.

All cabling and interfaces should be re-checked to confirm system integrity and any damaged
cables must be replaced/re-wired if required by an approved engineer.

4.

Any changes made above must be tested to confirm system operation.

5. Any warranty void marks/visible tampering must be logged to prevent future disruption and
system damage.

Warning:

Warranty terms are there to tell you that there is a problem. They should not simply be ignored.
The LEDs will remain illuminated or blinking until the actual problem has been dealt with.

6.4 WEEE Directive:

The WEEE Directive aims to both reduce the amount of electrical and electronic equipment being
produced and to encourage everyone to reuse, recycle and recover it.
The WEEE Directive also aims to improve the environmental performance of businesses that
manufacture, supply, use, recycle and recover electrical and electronic equipment.

Page 28 of 46

The Watchman Navgard as is except from the WEEE directive as any equipment that is installed on a
fixed Installation is exempted.
Notice to European Union Customers
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol above on the Battery indicates that this equipment has been put on
the market after 13 August 2005, and is included in the scope of the directive 2002/96/EEC on waste
electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and of the national decree(s) which transpose provisions of
such directive.
At the end of its lifetime, this device can only be disposed of in compliance with the provisions of the
above mentioned European directive (and following possible revisions) as well as with the corresponding
national regulation. Severe penalties are possible for unauthorized disposal.
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) may contain polluting components and hazardous substances
which accumulation could pose serious risk for the environment and human health.
Thats why local Administrations provide regulations which encourage reuse and recycling, and prohibit
the disposal of WEEE as unsorted municipal waste and require the collection of such WEEE separately (at
specifically authorized treatment facilities). Manufacturer and authorized distributors are required to
supply information about a safe treatment and disposition of the specific device.

7 Appendix A Requirements for IMO Standards

Sr No.

IMO Document reference

Statement

1.

Operational Requirement.

The BNWAS should incorporate the following

operational modes:

IMO MSC.128(75) 4.1.1.1

- Automatic (Automatically brought into operation

whenever the ships heading
or track control system is activated and inhibited when
this system is not activated)
- Manual ON (In operation constantly)
- Manual OFF (Does not operate under any
circumstances)

2.

IMO MSC.128(75) 4.1.2.1

Once operational, the alarm system should remain

dormant for a period of between 3 and 12 min (Td).

3.

IMO MSC.128(75) 4.1.2.2

At the end of this dormant period, the alarm system

should initiate a visual indication on the bridge.

4.

IMO MSC.128(75) 4.1.2.3

If not reset, the BNWAS should additionally sound a first

stage audible alarm on the bridge 15 s after the visual
indication is initiated.

5.

IMO MSC.128(75) 4.1.2.4

If not reset, the BNWAS should additionally sound a

second stage remote audible alarm in the back-up
officers and/or Masters location 15 s after the first
stage audible alarm is initiated.

6.

IMO MSC.128(75) 4.1.2.5

If not reset, the BNWAS should additionally sound a third

stage remote audible alarm at the locations of further
crew members capable of taking corrective actions 90 s
after the second stage remote audible alarm is initiated.

Page 30 of 46

7.

IMO MSC.128(75) 4.1.2.6

In vessels other than passenger vessels, the second or

third stage remote audible alarms may sound in all the
above locations at the same time. If the second stage
audible alarm is sounded in this way, the third stage
alarm may be omitted.

8.

IMO MSC.128(75) 4.1.2.7

In larger vessels, the delay between the second and third

stage alarms may be set to a longer value on installation,
up to a maximum of 3 min, to allow sufficient time for
the back-up officer and/or Master to reach the bridge.

9.

IMO MSC.128(75) 4.1.3.1

It should not be possible to initiate the reset function or

cancel any audible alarm from any device, equipment or
system not physically located in areas of the bridge
providing proper look out.

10.

IMO MSC.128(75) 4.1.3.2

The reset function should, by a single operator action,

cancel the visual indication and all audible alarms and
initiate a further dormant period. If the reset function is
activated before the end of the dormant period, the
period should be re-initiated to run for its full duration
from the time of the reset.

11.

IMO MSC.128(75) 4.1.3.3

To initiate the reset function, an input representing a

single operator action by the OOW is required. This input
may be generated by reset devices forming an integral
part of the BNWAS or by external inputs from other
equipment capable of registering physical activity and
mental alertness of the OOW.

12.

IMO MSC.128(75) 4.1.3.4

A continuous activation of any reset device should not

prolong the dormant period or cause a suppression of
the sequence of indications and alarms.

13.

IMO MSC.128(75) 4.1.4

Means may be provided on the bridge to immediately

activate the second, and subsequently third, stage
remote audible alarms by means of an .Emergency Call
push button or similar.

Page 31 of 46

14.

IMO MSC.128(75) 4.2

The alarm system should be capable of achieving the

timings stated in section 4.1.2 with accuracy of 5% or 5 s,
whichever is less, under all environmental conditions.

period should take the form of a flashing indication.
Flashing indications should be visible from all operational
positions on the bridge where the OOW may reasonably
be expected to be stationed. The color of the
indication(s) should be chosen so as not to impair night
vision and dimming facilities should be included.

23.

IMO MSC.128(75) 5.2.3

The first stage audible alarm which sounds on the bridge

at the end of the visual indication period should have its
own characteristic tone or modulation intended to alert,
but not to startle, the OOW. This alarm should be
audible from all operational positions on the bridge
where the OOW may reasonably be expected to be
stationed. This function may be engineered using one or
more sounding devices. Tone/modulation characteristics
and volume level should be selectable during
commissioning of the system.

24.

IMO MSC.128(75) 5.2.4

The remote audible alarm which sounds in the locations

of the Master, officers and further crew members
capable of taking corrective action at the end of the
bridge audible alarm period should be easily identifiable
by its sound and should indicate urgency. The volume of
this alarm should be sufficient for it to be heard
throughout the locations above and to wake sleeping
persons.

25.

IMO MSC.128(75) 6.2.1

All items of equipment forming part of the BNWAS

should be tamper-proof so that no member of the crew
may interfere with the systems operation.

26.

IMO MSC.128(75) 6.2.2

Page 33 of 46

Reset devices should be designed and installed so as to

minimize the possibility of their operation by any means
other than activation by the OOW. Reset devices should
all be of a uniform design and should be illuminated for
identification at night.

27.

IMO MSC.128(75) 6.2.3

Alternative reset arrangements may be incorporated to

initiate the reset function from other equipment on the
bridge capable of registering operator actions in
positions giving proper look out.

28.

IMO MSC.128(75) 6.3

The BNWAS should be powered from the ships main

power supply. The malfunction indication, and all
elements of the Emergency Call facility, if incorporated,
should be powered from a battery maintained supply.
