OnDeck™ Safety Sensor

The Garmin OnDeck™ safety sensor is a magnetic device designed for monitoring access to your boat. It integrates with the Garmin OnDeck™ remote monitoring system to detect any unauthorized entry through doors or windows of your vessel.

The OnDeck™ security sensor protects your boat against intrusions. It detects the opening of doors or hatches and sends alerts to the ActiveCaptain® app on your mobile device to notify you of suspicious activity.

The OnDeck™ safety sensor is a magnetic device. It works by detecting the separation of its two magnetic components, typically placed on a door or window and its frame, thereby signaling an opening.

The OnDeck™ safety sensor is designed to operate within a temperature range of -15°C to 80°C (5°F to 176°F), allowing it to withstand various marine conditions.

Yes, the OnDeck™ safety sensor's design provides resistance suitable for marine environments. These features ensure its operation in various marine conditions.

The sensor transmits information about the status of the accesses (open/closed) to the Garmin OnDeck™ hub. The hub then sends these alerts to the ActiveCaptain® app on your mobile device if an intrusion is detected.

This sensor operates exclusively with the Garmin OnDeck™ hub. It integrates into the Garmin OnDeck™ remote monitoring system.

No, the OnDeck™ safety sensor cannot operate alone. It must be connected and integrated with the Garmin OnDeck™ hub to transmit information and alerts to the ActiveCaptain® app.

The OnDeck™ system allows adding up to 29 additional safety sensors for extended coverage of your vessel. A safety sensor is typically included with the OnDeck™ hub.

Yes, alerts and sensor management are accessible via the ActiveCaptain® app on your mobile device. This app is required to configure the system and receive notifications.

No, the OnDeck™ safety sensor is designed to work exclusively with the Garmin OnDeck™ hub and is not compatible with other brands of monitoring systems or devices.

The OnDeck™ safety sensor is a magnetic device consisting of two parts. It must be installed on a door, hatch, or window and its frame so that the two parts separate when opened. It is a wired sensor that connects to the OnDeck™ hub (GTB 10).

You must place the sensor at the access points on your boat that you want to monitor, such as doors, hatches, or windows. The two magnetic parts of the sensor must be positioned opposite each other when closed and separate when opened.

Yes, the OnDeck™ safety sensor is a wired sensor. It connects to the OnDeck™ hub (GTB 10) via the hub's IN/OUT port, specifically to the wire labeled "Security" (typically white/green).

For connection to the OnDeck™ hub, it is essential to ensure all connections use appropriate electrical connectors. If connections are exposed to moisture, they must be watertight to prevent potential electric shocks and equipment damage.

If an intrusion is detected (separation of the magnetic parts of the sensor), the sensor sends an alert to the OnDeck™ hub. The hub then instantly transmits a notification to the ActiveCaptain® app on your mobile device.

Yes, you can configure alarms for sensors, including the safety sensor, via the ActiveCaptain® app. This allows you to add your contact information and other contacts to receive alert notifications.

The product documentation does not mention an internal battery for the OnDeck™ safety sensor itself. It is a wired sensor powered by the OnDeck™ hub to which it is connected.

The OnDeck™ system can enter sleep mode. For continuous monitoring and to keep the safety sensor active, the GTB 10 hub must be powered and configured to remain in full-power mode, for example by being connected to shore power or having the "Boat-in-Use" input enabled.

A safety sensor is usually supplied with the OnDeck™ hub. However, additional sensors can also be purchased separately to extend your boat’s monitoring coverage, up to a total of 29 sensors.
