ACR OLAS Exposure Series Core

OLAS Exposure Series Core

The Core is a compact, portable overboard alarm and emergency light system. It reacts within 2 seconds of a person falling overboard and can easily be switched between vessels without the time and cost of wired installation. The Core can connect with up to 25 OLAS transmitters and cover a vessel up to 50ft.

What it does

The Core wirelessly tracks OLAS transmitters around the vessel. When a person wearing a transmitter falls overboard, the in-built alarm is triggered, and a high-power emergency red light gives a visual indication and illuminates the surrounding area, all within 4 seconds.

As well as triggering the alarm, the Core connects with the free OLAS mobile application, providing an easy-to-read arrow back to the alert position plus essential MOB last known position information and auto-populated VHF prompt screens to support the crew during the stress of a recovery operation.

Why use the OLAS CORE

The Core gives skippers complete confidence that in the event of a MOB incident, the entire crew is alerted instantly and can take immediate recovery actions.

Losing a crew member overboard is every sailor’s worst nightmare. The larger the boat, the more difficult it can be to know immediately that a MOB incident has occurred, especially in the dark with crew members forward of the mast.

It can happen all too easily, even in benign conditions. Wearing a physical tether, whilst advisable, is not always practical, and indeed, falling overboard on a tether has been proven to be no guarantee of survival if the boat is at full speed and the skipper is not immediately aware of the incident.

Who is it for?

The Core connects to 25 crew members via wearable OLAS tag transmitters, creating a virtual lifeline. Larger vessels can be fitted with an OLAS Extender which increases the range from 50ft to 100f
