IT'S MUCH MORE THAN A GEOFENCE ALARM smartAIS Anchor Watch is much more than just a geofence alarm for you at anchor. Anchor Watch uses your actual anchor position from the bow which is offet from the device. It accounts for the Scope, which is the additional distance created by the length of rode/warp and the depth. It will track your every movement and when your anchor drags, you will get alerted on board via the transponder (Cortex Hub or XB-8000), Cortex Handsets, remotely via Cortex Onboard, WatchMate or deckWatch App, or off the boat using the Cortex Monitor App. RECEIVE ALERTS ANYWHERE ON BOARD smartAIS transponders are WiFi enabled and communicate alarms and navigation data to your smartphone. If your anchor drags, an alert is triggered on your mobile devices and an audible alarm sounds (if connected) so you can take prompt action. GO ASHORE WITH PEACE OF MIND With a Cortex Monitor subscription, receive Anchor Watch alarms when ashore. Anchor your boat and enjoy a picnic or explore an island, knowing your boat is exactly where you anchored it. While ashore, if Anchor Watch detects a dragging anchor it immediately sends an alert to your mobile device, provided you and your boat both have cellular coverage. DEPTH AND WIND ALARMS Get added safety at anchor by setting up wind speed, wind direction and water depth alarms using Cortex. Be alerted on board by connecting your mobile devices to your Cortex via WiFi, or ashore with the Cortex Monitor app. ANCHOR MOVE Anchor Move allows you to finetune your anchored position after your initial setup. You can adjust your marked anchored position if you didn't get it quite right or forgot to activate it when you dropped anchor. BREAD CRUMBS Bread crumbs track your boat's position at anchor over time. This will give you a clear understanding about anchor swing behavior. This will quickly show any slip, or allow you to manually move the anchor position to a more accurate final position. SCOPE Scope is the length of anchor rode/warp. A Scope of 5:1 would mean for every 1m of depth, there is 5m of rode/warp. Scope is shown when your depth is available and will calculate based on the alarm radius you have set. LOW POWER CONSUMPTION Cortex should be installed on a 24 hour circuit to ensure it remains live when the boat is shut down. This means Cortex Monitor will continue to alert you of issues on the vessel. Even with all the brains, Cortex still only draws a nominal current of 500mA. 17
