OLAS TRANSMITTERS
OLAS RECEIVERS
ACR OLAS MOBILE APPLICATION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
GUARDIAN INSTALLATION
The OLAS TAG or the OLAS FLOAT-ON are considered OLAS transmitters. They emit a Bluetooth signal
which is monitored by the OLAS receivers.
The OLAS receivers track the OLAS transmitters. OLAS receivers are:
1. GUARDIAN - Wireless Engine Kill Switch and Man Overboard (MOB) Alarm System
2. CORE - Base Station for OLAS Transmitters and Man Overboard (MOB) Alarm System
3. OLAS Mobile application
4. EXTENDER - This operates as a repeater to increase the range of the GUARDIAN and CORE
The ACR OLAS mobile application allows the OLAS transmitters to be used as a MOB/proximity alarm if
connected solely with OLAS transmitters. When an OLAS transmitter goes out of range an alarm is set off
and overboard screens are activated.
When the OLAS mobile application is connected to the Guardian or Core it allows greater control over the
OLAS transmitters that are being tracked.
To download the app, enter “ACR OLAS” in the Apple App Store or Google Play
The Guardian has been designed for recreational marine use. The design conforms to appropriate
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations but for optimal performance correct installation is required.
For optimum performance the mobile device and the Guardian should be located at least 0.5 meters from
any equipment transmitting radio signals including VHF Radios, antennas and cables.
WARNING: Do not attempt to install the Guardian until you know that the power supply is switched OFF.
Where required use the supplied wire connectors which are suitable for connecting wire dimension 20-
18AWG. If wire extensions are required use 20AWG or thicker wire.
Always connect your power supply after the main power switch to avoid current drainage when the boat is
not in use.
Ensure all wire connections are waterproof using marine specic connectors, such as heat shrinkable
butt splices.

DRILLING THE HOLE
Find a location to install the Guardian’s control switch, either next to or near your existing kill switch, then drill
a 0.8 inch (21mm) diameter hole.
The orientation of the securing nut shown below is dependent on panel thickness:
0.8” diameter hole
0.31”-0.71” (8-18mm) panel thickness
0.04”-0.31” (1-8mm) panel thickness
6
CONNECTING THE POWER WIRES (10-32VDC)
CONNECTING THE SIGNAL WIRES ALONGSIDE YOUR EXISTING KILL SWITCH
Connect power cable to Guardian hub.
Ensure Power supply is switched OFF.
1. Connect the white (+ or positive) wire to the positive voltage terminal
2. Connect the black (- or ground) wire to the negative voltage terminal
3. Install a 1-3 A fuse in line with the positive connection
The Guardian uses a double throw relay enabling it to open or close any circuit. It can be connected in
place or alongside your existing kill switch as it can be installed to perform the same function.
1. Check with your engine manufacturer if the kill switch is operated by Closing the circuit or Opening
the circuit. Most engines operate by closing the circuit to stop the engine.
Close to stop systems should connect in parallel to your existing kill switch.
Open to stop systems should connect in series to your existing kill switch.
2. There are 3 signal wires:
Grey= COMMON
Brown = CLOSE TO STOP
Purple = OPEN TO STOP
3. Connect the grey wire to the existing kill switches common wire
4. Connect the brown wire to the remaining kill switch wire if your system uses the close to stop system
5. Connect the purple wire to the remaining kill switch wire if your system uses the open to stop system
NOTE: ONLY two signal wires should be connected
6. Close off the remaining wire with the supplied end cap
SECURE THE GUARDIAN HUB
1. Find a location where the hub can be securely attached, and the power and switch wires can remain
securely attached to the hub
2. The attachment screws provided are self-tapping for plastic / wood so can be screwed directly into
the center console. Ensure attachment point is thicker than the attachment screws to avoid screwing
through the panel.
3. Secure the hub rmly into the center console

QUICK START GUIDE
1. Turn on OLAS transmitters within 1 meter of the Guardian (press button on OLAS Float-On for 4 secs.
or press button on OLAS Tag for 3 secs. The green light will ash on the transmitter when it turns on.)
2. Turn on power to the Guardian or press the control switch once
3. Wait for 30 seconds – Observe the number of sound and light signals emitted by the Guardian.
These signals represent the number of OLAS transmitters switched on within 1 meter
4. Download the ACR OLAS mobile application and check battery status of all OLAS tags
5. WARNING: Always check the battery of any OLAS transmitter before leaving the dock.
If a transmitter battery runs out whilst being used in the system it will cause the Engine to
immediately stop!
6. CHECK BEFORE FIRST USE - Run the engine in idle and place the OLAS transmitter at least 4
inches into open water (a cup or bucket will not be enough!)
7. The engine will cut out
8. Press the control switch once to Pause the alarm
9. After 5 seconds you will be able to operate the boat as normal
10. Bring the OLAS transmitter back within 1 meter and press the Guardian’s switch once to reconnect
11. The Guardian can be switched off at any point by pressing the control switch for 4 seconds or when
the power is disconnected. This will not stop the engine
OLAS TAG OPERATION
Switch ON:
Press the button for 4 seconds until the light ashes Green
Switch OFF:
Press the button for 4 seconds until the light ashes Red

GUARDIAN FUNCTIONS
There are 3 operating states which can be applied to individual OLAS Transmitters using the OLAS mobile app:
a. Cut-off and Alert (DEFAULT)
When an OLAS transmitter goes out of range, within 2 seconds the Guardian will cut-off the engine, sound
its internal alert and trigger the MOB alert on the ACR OLAS app. After 5 seconds the engine can be
restarted by anyone remaining on the vessel
b. Alert
When an OLAS transmitter goes out of range, within 2 seconds the Guardian will sound its internal alert and
trigger the MOB alert on the ACR OLAS App. The engine will NOT cut-off and a rescue can be performed
immediately. This mode should only be used for passengers
c. Paused
Pause state should be used when the user knows an OLAS transmitter will go out of range and they do not
want the Guardian to react i.e. leaving the boat for an extended period or swimming
Cut-off and Alert
Pause all tracking
Alert only
Paused
