Detailed description
Detailed description
The Garmin Cortex® external alarm kit and silent button is designed to enhance onboard safety by providing clear audible alerts and immediate control over critical situations. It connects to a 12 V or 24 V DC power supply and is compatible with the Cortex M1 hub, as well as the Cortex M1 and V1 assemblies. Integration of this kit is recommended with a relay for optimal functionality.
Alarms and management
This kit includes a powerful external alarm that emits a tone as soon as the Cortex M1 hub detects a risk. For flexible management, a silent button is included, allowing temporary silencing of the external alarm. Alarms are triggered in response to various threats such as collision risks, anchoring, or man-overboard (MOB) situations detected by the Cortex hub.
Escalation process and integration
Cortex alarms follow a progressive escalation process: they start with voice alerts (e.g., "Collision alert, port bow"), then increase in volume and end with a buzzer sound. This escalation system applies to both the Cortex handheld unit and the external speaker of the hub. Additionally, Cortex alarms can be configured to mute the VHF radio, ensuring essential alerts are heard without interruption. Alarms can be temporarily silenced for five minutes or fully disabled, except for legitimate man-overboard alerts, which remain active.
